Medieval monolithic tombstones – stećci in the area of Eastern Plina and Staševica, in the hinterland of the town of Ploče
Blanša Maljković
Sažetak
The first part of this paper presents a comprehensive review of the stećci located in the area of Eastern Plina. Most of these monuments have been mentioned only in passing in scholarly literature and have not previously been the subject of a detailed analysis. The study reconstructs the original spatial distribution of the sites prior to the construction of the modern road, followed by a catalogue of all recorded stećci, including their typological characteristics and the range of decorative and iconographic
motifs represented. The chronological attribution of the investigated sites is also reassessed. The second part of the paper provides an overview of sites with stećci in the neighbouring area of Staševica, accompanied by a catalogue and drawings of the decorated specimens. The primary aim of the study is to present a comprehensive synthesis of stećci in the Plina region, while also documenting all currently known stećak sites within the present-day territory of Staševica. The work originates from the author’s master’s thesis and represents an attempt to synthesise the results of field surveys with the evidence presented in previous publications.
