Sažetak

During past archaeological excavations in Crikvenica, two important facts became clear: the location of the Roman-era site Ad turres was identified at the site of modern Crikvenica, and in 2006 a local Roman pottery workshop was unveiled at the site called “Igralište” (the northern periphery of the city of Crikvenica). In 2008, research was intentionally directed towards defining the workshop facilities in the southern part of the site. Between 16 July and 3 September 2008, the third phase of systematic archaeological excavations of the local Roman pottery workshop continued at the “Igralište” site. During the excavations of 2008, individual facilities of the workshop complex were defined. Out of the five kilns excavated in the Crikvenica workshop thus far, in 2008 two kilns were examined in the eastern part of the workshop (the western kiln was excavated in the past two years). Of particular significance is the content of the fill in the kiln situated further north. Although it consists of the workshop’s pottery production waste, the artefacts found within it illustrate the range of products and the typolog y of local Roman production of the Crikvenica workshop. One of the examples of this local production is the discovery of a flat-bottomed Adriatic amphora of the Crikvenica type. In excavations conducted near the end of 2008, the water supply system in the workshop facilities and a pool for clay disposal and purification were discovered. Thanks to underwater archaeological research, which has been an integral component of the excavation project at the Crikvenica pottery workshop since 2008, a local market for the workshop’s products was uncovered. In addition to Roman coastal settlements of Tarsatica and Senia, a house and construction ceramics made in the workshop of Sextus Metilius Maximus were also found in the Kvarner undersea zone: on the islands of Lošinj and Susak. One of the examples of the Crikvenica amphora type was also discovered in the sea-floor near Šibenik. In order to present the finds of the Roman local pottery workshop owned and managed by Sextus Metilius Maximus, particularly the new type of Adriatic flat-bottom amphorae of the Crikvenica type, an international colloquium was held in Crikvenica from 23 to 24 October on “Roman Pottery and Glass Workshops: Production and Trade on the Adriatic”. A colloquium on the same or a similar topic will be held biennially in Crikvenica with the aim of exchanging knowledge on Roman workshops.
