Abstract

The prehistoric inventory as a component of the Archaeological
Collection of the Franciscan Monastery in Humac, near Ljubuški,
encompasses some valuable and, in terms of archaeological
scholarship, important items. B. Čović published the major groups
of prehistoric finds with special reference to the more notable
pieces. The prehistoric inventory consists largely of chance finds
gathered over a broad swath of Herzegovina’s territory. The high
number of pieces are dominated by those from more recent
prehistoric periods (the Bronze and Iron Ages), while the older
periods (Paleolithic, Neolithic and Eneolithic) are present as
individual items. Iron Age jewellery from the Humac collection
includes adornment for the head, neck, breast and hands.
Fibulae shall be the topic of this paper, while other jewellery
and decorative items (pins, necklaces, hair adornment, earrings,
pendants, belt buckles, etc.) will be covered in subsequent works.
