Sažetak
The jewellery items of the Central Dalmatian culture
group kept at the Archaeological Collection of the Franciscan
monastery in Humac near Ljubuški belong to a group
of interesting craft products which represent high artisan
achievement and testify to great artistic creativity. Among
other things, the above-mentioned group distinguishes itself
from all other contemporary phenomena because of these
items. It is assumed that these finds were collected in the
area of activity of the Humac monastery, and in most cases
there are no data on the location and context of the finds.
Certain forms are known from other sites in the wider
area of the Central Dalmatian group, while analogies for
the majority of jewellery types from the Humac collection
can also be found outside the area of the aforementioned
group. The majority of items have either not been published
or only notes without illustrations have been put into print.
Characteristic local forms and variants of widely spread
types of jewellery from the collection testify to the craft
achievements of the Central Dalmatian culture group,
where craftsmanship and emphasised creativity, as well
as the individuality of the craftsman, come to the fore.
Given that a very small number of items from the
area of the Central Dalmatian culture group have been
found and published, the jewellery items from the Humac
collection deserve scientific study. The owners of these items,
which were both decorative and functional, were members
of several ethnic communities from the territory of western
Herzegovina, and even though this area is associated with
the dominant ethnic group, the Dalmatae, it is not certain
that they inhabited the whole of this area.
