Abstract
This paper examines a collection of pottery and glass finds recovered during non-professional excavations conducted in 1989 on the ground floor of a building at Mile Magdića Street 8 (c.p. 584) in Senj. The pottery consists primarily of numerous fragments of amphorae and a smaller quantity of tableware, predominantly from the late antique period. Some of the finds, however, can be attributed to the significantly later period of the 15th-17th centuries, including kitchen and glazed tableware, as well as a single glass goblet. Although information on the stratigraphic context of the finds is incomplete, the finds are very significant because they provide new topographic data that enhance our understanding of the archaeological stratigraphy and topography of the southern part of Senj's historic core. Moreover, they shed light on trade contacts and the circulation of objects during the represented periods.
