The present study deals with the question of the organization of the stonemasonry production of funerary monuments in the interior of the former Roman province of Dalmatia. The aim of the research ...was to identify a model of stonemasonry production that originated in a mountainous and difficult to traverse area, where the possibilities of water transport of stone material are minimal. The author started from the assumption that production centres formed in some geographical areas during Roman rule, using local limestone sources for their operation. The study includes funerary monuments discovered in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the western part of Serbia and Montenegro. By combining the methods of macroscopic petrographic analysis of the stone material and typological and spatial analysis, the existence of several production centres was proven. The results of the analyses indicate a very likely that they exploited the local limestone resources. Epigraphic data also made it possible to define their chronological aspect.

“Zaradi izgradnje visokega oboka so morali upoštevati tudi večjovzdržljivost nosilnega zidu. Višja kot je bila streha, toliko boljprimerno je moral biti širok in trdno grajen nosilni zid. Tudi ...privhodu so morali paziti, da so bili kamni lepo povezani v robovepo stranici. Če so našli kamen, ki je po obliki ustrezal jrti (pokončen kamnoseško obdelan kamen na oknu ali portalu; pri hiški je to ponavadi izbran lep neobdelan pokončen kamen) , so ga prihranili za stranico vhoda. Tako so prihranili čas pri izgradnji stranice vhoda in so jrto vzidali pokončno na rob vhoda. Ponekod so zaradi večje nosilnosti prek vhoda počez položili dve prekladi. Zunanjo so nekoliko zamaknili navzven čez vhod, tako da so dobili neke vrste nadstrešek, kap ali kapec.” (Priročnik, 2014 , str. 12)
