Abstract
The paper provides new information about the site of Gradina (Vinogradišće), located circa 1 km north from the town of Vis, as a contribution to the archaeological map of the island of Vis. In the centre of the site is a segment of monumental architecture built of massive half-finished stone blocks, preserved up to two rows, which had not been recorded before. The results of a short and intensive field survey revealed a number of surface finds, mostly from the Hellenistic period. The same chronological range is predominantly indicated by the finds from the test trench, which certainly point to the existence of a site from the Hellenistic period, completing the picture of the stratification and organization of the extramural space of ancient Isa.
