Sažetak
Archaeological excavations conducted in Croatia during the last hundred or so years have revealed numerous mosaics. Shovel test pits, review excavations and systematic archaeological excavations have been carried out, with rescue excavations, geo-investigations and conservation and restoration operations. Numerous papers and books or even just mentions of finds have been published. This latter particularly relates to smallish fragments and finds of tesserae. In the 2004 to 2014 period the results of archaeological excavations in Croatia were published in the Croatian Archaeological Annual. In this period, in the area of Croatia, many sites were investigated, revealing mosaics, fragmentary mosaics, tesserae, glass tesserae and mosaic bases. The rehabilitation and conservation of well-known mosaics were carried out (floor mosaic of the apse in Novalja, mosaic in a cistern on Bribirska glavica, floor mosaic in baths on Vis and floor mosaic from Narona, today’s Vid).
Mosaic decoration appears over almost the whole of the eastern shores of the Adriatic. Almost all buildings either built or repurposed in the late Roman and early Byzantine period had mosaic decorations as part of the arrangement and decoration of both secular and sacred architecture, although it was more often to be found in buildings with religious purposes.
