Pakoštane - Crkvina

In the course of 2013 archaeological explorations were continued at the site of Pakoštane – Crkvina located in the vicinity of the west coast of Vransko Lake. They were carried out during two campaigns and the investigations were focused on the north pastoforium and space immediately around it. In that space 18 graves were explored this year, of which some were in the room, others outside of it and some stretched out under the walls of the premise. The finds from the graves and layers show that the room was added on the north side of the church probably in the Late Middle Ages or the very beginning of the new age. During the explorations tens of stone plastics shards were found as well as coins, fragments of earrings and buckles and a particularly large quantity of pottery vessel shards and rings. The largest number of datable finds from the layers and graves belong to the period from the 13th to 15th centuries.
