The Virovitica Kiskorija South site was a Roman village. In this paper archaeological, archaeobotanical, and archaeo-zoological finds are presented and interpreted, then compared with similar sites ...and information available from ancient sources. The site was divided into complexes that made a whole. The finds within each complex are presented and compared to similar archaeological sites, as well as data from ancient written sources. The goal of the paper is to determine which kind of diet was present at this Roman village in Pannonia, and to analyze the differences and similarities between this village and analogous sites.
Tijekom 2018. godine provedene su dvije kampanje, prva u travnju i svibnju te druga u listopadu. Istraživanje se provodilo u gospodarskome dijelu vile gdje su otkrivene dvije velike strukture za ...proizvodnju ulja i vina s tijeskom, kanalima i bazenima s vertikalnom stratigrafijom te skladišni prostor. Južno od glavnoga zida vile napravljena je manja sonda oko već ranije poznatoga sarkofaga s Kristovim monogramom gdje je otkrivena pripadajuća arhitektura te zanimljiva stratigrafska situacija. Na sjevernome dijelu vile definiran je sjeverni zid glavnoga objekta s čije se južne strane nije naišlo na arhitekturu, što upućuje na U-tlocrt glavnoga objekta vile, barem u njezinoj mlađoj fazi. Najstariji zidovi vile otkriveni su u stambenome dijelu vile i negirani su mlađom vilom (vjerojatno već u 2. st.), a govore o postojanju manjega gospodarskog objekta u 1. st. po. Kr.

Arheološko iskopavanje rimske vile na lokalitetu Novo Selo Bunje provedeno je u travnju i listopadu 2017. godine kao nastavak istraživanja započetih 2015. godine. Do kraja su istražene terme u ...stambenom dijelu vile, definiran je dio sjevernog zida zgrade s portikom koji je vjerojatno sjeverni zid same vile te se nastavilo istraživati u gospodarskom dijelu gdje se proizvodilo ulje. Pronađeno je više kamenih kanala tijeska za ulje te dio kamenog mlina.

Luke su jedan od površinom najvećih i nalazima najbogatijih antičkih lokaliteta na otoku Braču. Arheološka istraživanja na tom lokalitetu do sada nisu obavljena, a lokalitet je u više navrata ...pregledan. Lokalitet je poznat od 1899. godine kada je na njemu pronađen žrtvenik posvećen Jupiteru Dolihenu. U radu se opisuju nalazi pronađeni u proljeće 2003. godine koji se datiraju od 1. do 5. st. po. Kr.
The excavations on the Roman Villa of Bunje (island of Brač, Central Dalmatia) are lead by a Croatian and French team working since 2015 on this project (Botte et al. 2016; Turkalj et al. 2016; Botte ...et al. 2017; Jelinčić Vučković et al. 2017; Jelinčić Vučković and Botte 2018). It is part of a wider project called ‘Eastern Adriatic Roman villae: form and chronology of the exploitation of shore and islands during Antiquity’, directed by E. Botte (Centre Camille Jullian, CNRS), A. Bertrand (Paris-Est Marne University) and K. Jelinčić Vučković (Institute of Archaeology of Zagreb), with financial support of the

In April 2012, the Institute of Archaeology conducted a two-day reconnaissance and mapping of the Novo Selo Bunje site in Croatia. The mapping covered the visible and accessible architecture. A ...significant part of the area is inaccessible due to the thick forest that is destroying the site. It was established that the walls were built in two phases and in a planned manner. There is a pool encircled by a wall from antiquity, two cisterns, a tomb, a press, a sarcophagus and an unfinished sarcophagus lid. A preliminary survey of the finds revealed that they can be dated from the Late Hellenistic/Late Republican period to Late Antiquity. The most numerous finds are construction ceramics and amphorae. There were also fragments of tableware, kitchenware and glass. Notable among the finds are a fragment of a fresco, tesserae, ceramic beehives, lamps and a grindstone. Most of the amphorae came from Africa as containers for oil and fish produce and the same boats probably also brought the tableware and kitchenware. Archaeological excavations of this complex site would provide us with more data on the arrival of the Romans to the islands, the organisation of their life and the population they found, the rural aspects of life on the island within the ager Salonitanus, the changes and development of a Roman villa, its possible transformation in Late Antiquity in the secular as well as the religious sense.

Institute of archaeology (Zagreb), CNRS Centre Camille Jullian (Aix-en-Provence), Universite Paris-Est (Marne-la Vallee) and Community of Selca continued with excavation of Novo Selo Bunje site ...(October 17th-28th 2016). It presents the first phase of a 5 year project named Recherches sur l'exploitation economique de la Dalmatie a l' epoque romaine (IIe s. av. J.-C. - IIe s. ap. J.-C.) In sector 5 we found small thermae with two construction phases. The excavated part belonged to the caldarium as we found a small basin and hypocaust. The find of multiple tubuli fragments in this room confirms the purpose of this room as caldarium. Slabs of marble and green porphyry (Carrara marble and Spartan basalt or Lapis Lacedaemonius) were found here too, testifying of luxury of the decoration in this villa. One of the rooms next to the caldarium could have served as latrinae during the first phase. Sector 5 belonged to the pars urbana of this villa. The sector 6 as presumed last year belonged to the pars rustica with trapetum. Excavation brought to light position of the trapetum in a space opened on the western side to the court. In the room next to it there was a basin for oil decanting covered with white mosaic and with central stone vessel on the bottom. Both parts of the villa were connected with one, southern wall, telling us that the building was planned and well organized.

Luke is one of the largest and richest classical antiquity sites on the island of Brac. There have been no archaeological excavations, but several field surveys have been conducted at the site. The ...site has been known since 1899, when an altar stone dedicated to Jupiter Dolichenus was unearthed. The article describes the artifacts found in the spring of 2003. The artifacts were dated to the period from the first to the fifth century. Publication Abstract
