Abstract
The town of Lumbarda on the island of Korčula is renowned for the archaeological find of the so-called „Lumbarda Psephisma”, discovered in a cistern on the Koludrt peninsula. While this important find often draws attention, there are other significant archaeological remains from antiquity that contribute to understanding the settlement of this part of the island of Korčula. The broader area around today's Lumbarda cemetery is known as Sutivan, a name derived from Saint John. It is a location situated between the sea and the surrounding hills, offering views of the Adriatic coast and nearby islands, located at the entrance to Lumbarda and adjacent to the modern cemetery. In the western part of Sutivan, excavations were conducted in 1999 and again from 2007 to 2011. This exceptionally rich archaeological area allows for the tracing of life from prehistoric times. On this occasion, we present an overview of the archaeological findings, and although the ceramic artifacts are still being processed, we wish to take the opportunity to highlight the Crecchio type jug in particular. These rare specimens are of great significance for understanding trade and cultural connections of that period.
