Abstract

This paper analyses a stone-built tomb (Grave 76) discovered in 2011 in the Church of St Mary at the site Pakoštane – Crkvina, which belonged in the Middle Ages to the settlement of Zablaće. The archaeological excavations established four strata of burials in which the osteological remains of 24 individuals were found, as well as numerous items of jewellery, dress accessories and coins. Among the osteological remains, worth highlighting are two decedents with interesting traumas, one of which was caused by trepanation. The grave was built in the first half of the 15th century, and successive burials in it were carried out for somewhat more than a hundred years.
