Sažetak
The topic of this article is the social differentiation in Istria from the Early to Late Bronze
Age. Three relevant areas from the research of the fortified settlement of Monkodonja are
addressed. Firstly, the differences in structure and architecture within the settlement are
described. Secondly, districts of power in Rovinj are elaborated as a system of central Istrian
settlements, equal in stature, with auxiliary and satellite areas. The small units, barely larger
than 10 km, are separated from one another by unsettled, yet probably economically exploited
spaces. Thirdly, the few elite graves, which are characterized more by their distinguished
position in the main gate of the settlement than by their grave goods, are discussed. The
complicated, multiphase burial ritual is described and the cists integrated in the structure are
considered in relation to ancestral worship.
