Sažetak
Trial excavations on Sveta Trojica Hillfort near Starigrad Paklenica continued in September 2015. Two new trenches were opened, both at the larger top plateau of the hillfort. Trench 10, measuring 5x5m, was opened on the flat section directly along the south edge of the central hillfort plateau. Layer of earth with stones right under the shallow layer of humus contained a large quantity of mobile finds, almost exclusively coarse pottery of the so-called hillfort type, with some amphora fragments and very few pieces of imported table fine ware, which could suggest chronological differences in relation to the previously researched positions. Under that layer, another layer was discovered and interpreted as a floor. It consists of tightly compacted and flat earth, baked in places, which can be traced – despite damage due to erosion, that is, the rocks piled in the upper layer – across the whole trench area and whose structure and colour visibly differ from the aforementioned erosion layer. However, no accompanying structures were detected, so it is possible that what has been detected is the central part of the structure. Due to time constraints, research was suspended at that layer. Trench 11, which is smaller, was opened in the north and exhibits analogous stratigraphy with a layer of earth and rocks filling the irregular stone vein under the compacted layer.
