Sažetak
The authors report on the protective archaeological excavations at the localities of Velika Crljivica and by the church of St. Jacob ill Cista Velika. The locality of Velika Crljivica, at the western end ofCista Provo, takes over 3,000 m' oflal1d at both sides of the present road that covers the Roman road Salona-Tilurium-Narona. There are about 80 stećak tombstones of the trunk and pitched types here, the largest such group ill the present Dalmatia. Some of them are decorated with relieves, including two pitched ones reading the names ofthe deceased, the married couple Vladna and Jerko (Herko) Kustražić. About 300 m to the west is the village of Mala Crljivica with a smaller group of stećak tombstones, forming one complex with Velika Crljivica. The late-medieval graveyard formed around pre-historic mounds, and by this important Roman road and a karst valley with seven walled wells. At the eastern part of the site, there has been excavated a smaller part of the late Middle-Age and New-Age cemetery and remains ofa formerly destroyed pre-historic mound. The way of burying, the stećak lombstones and vertically placed tombstones and grave goods date the burials to the 14th-15th centuries, that is, to the period ofthe Turkish conquest. Ac the locality ofZgon, at Ihe western end of Velika Crljivica, 17 graves have been excavated, dated 10 the Turkish epoque or soon after liberation of the Imotska krajina district from the Turks. To the south, by the modern graveyard and the St. Jacob 's Church in Cista Velika, 12 New-Age graves have been excavated. The site is situated near the pre-historic mound and the Roman road, in an archeologically important area where excavated remains off arming and residentiai houses and an early-Christian and early-medieval sacral-sepulchral complex confirm the earlier locating of the ancient town of Trono.
