Abstract
Archaeological supervision of construction works in the zone of the Barbakan (Barbakan) was carried out in 2008 in the frame of the works on the Citadela fort (Citadela) in the southeastern part of the Zadar city walls. The investigations yielded a wealth of new information on the appearance of that space and changed our previous understanding of the time and method of its construction. A smaller number of finds belong to the Roman Age, while the majority comes from the Middle Ages and the Modern Period. Ceramic finds dominate among small archaeological finds, including rare specimens of glazed ware from the 13th and 14th centuries, formerly unregistered in the Zadar area. In addition to ceramic finds, there was also a small number of glass finds, mostly belonging to the mediaeval period.
