Sažetak
This paper discusses the finds of the rims of Corinthian B amphorae at the prehistoric and late antiquity fortification of Sveti Petar in Makarska. They are among the extremely rare finds of the archaic type of Corinthian B amphora (west Greek amphora of type 1α) on the eastern Adriatic, dated to the 6th and 5th centuries BC based on analogies from the Padan Plain. The paper also examines a coarser example of the same type of amphora in the context of the previously proposed hypothesis that this type represents the first version of the Corinthian B amphorae produced in workshops along the eastern Adriatic, most likely in Pharos at the beginning of the 4th century BC. The discovery of such an amphora at the central Dalmatian hillfort of Sv. Petar highlights the importance of maritime trade between the island of Hvar, the opposite mainland, and the southern coastline, as evidenced by similar examples found on the island of Korčula and in Konavle. On the other hand, earlier Corinthian B amphorae, along with the exceptional find of Late Geometric pottery of Attic origin, raise a number of questions about all possible circumstances surrounding their arrival at the key coastal central Dalmatian hillfort site of Sv. Petar.
