Abstract

The paper presents the publication of a Greek loom weight that was discovered during the excavations conducted in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar in 2021. It is a discoid loom weight that contains two types of markings: a Greek graffito with the first mention of the Greek name ΚΑΣΙ[…] in Dalmatia and an elliptical impression with an indeterminable representation. The typological/chronological determinants of the loom weight, the analysis of the inscription, and the role of loom weights in the context of Greek influence in the area of central Dalmatia are reviewed.
