Archaeological discoveries in Croatia

Overview

Archaeological investigations in Croatia have uncovered significant prehistoric settlements. In Martijanec, researchers from the Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb are examining the Kazinščak site, a massive Early Iron Age settlement belonging to the Eastern Hallstatt culture dating to the 7th and 6th centuries BCE. The 40-hectare site is being studied using non-destructive geophysical scanning to identify potential tumuli, which are believed to be “monumental princely graves.”

In Stobreč, near Split, excavations have confirmed a Bronze Age settlement dating to approximately 1500 BC. While the area is historically associated with ancient Epetium, recent findings reveal layers predating Greek and Roman occupation, including Bronze Age houses, ovens, and graves. Researchers have documented over 100,000 fragments of movable objects across various historical layers, including Hellenistic, Roman, and late antique structures.
