- Abstract
This paper presents the results from an archaeological excavation at the Neolithic site of Rašinovac, near Ždrapanj in the Piramatovci Valley (in the hinterland of the town of Skradin in Northern Dalmatia). This previously unknown site was test excavated in 2013 when a 2x2-metre trench was opened to determine the site’s stratigraphy and chronology. Excavations suggested that Rašinovac was a single-layer open-air settlement and subsequent analyses of the material culture (mostly pottery and chert) confirmed that it was an Impressed Ware site. Two radiocarbon dates also reveal that Rašinovac is among the earliest known Early Neolithic sites in the region (first century of the 6th millennium BC)., U članku su predstavljeni rezultati arheološkog iskopavanja neolitičkog nalazišta Rašinovac kod Ždrapnja u Piramatovačkom polju (zaleđe grada Skradina, sjeverna Dalmacija). Na dotad nepoznatom nalazištu je 2013. godine otvorena probna sonda dimenzija 2x2 m s ciljem utvrđivanja stratigrafije te određivanja njegove kronološke pripadnosti. Rašinovac je jednoslojno naselje na otvorenom iz impreso faze što je potvrđeno analizom materijalne kulture (pretežito lončarije i litike). Sudeći po dvama radiokarbonskim datumima, Rašinovac pripada najranijim dosada poznatim nalazištima ranog neolitika na ovom području (prvo stoljeće 6. tisućljeća pr. Kr.).
