Some Examples of Harbour Installations of Ancient Quarries on the Dalmatian Islands

Autor u članku donosi rezultate terenskih pregleda i zaštitnih istraživanja na tri lokaliteta. Otoci Sestrunj i Dugi otok obrađeni su na temelju rekognosciranja, dok su u mjestu Splitska na Braču, izvršena i manja podvodna arheološka istraživanja zaštitnog karaktera. U članku se opisuju ostatci pristaništa za ukrcaj kamena u brodove, rampe za spuštanje kamenih blokova do mora, te logistička opskrba kamenarskog postrojenja. Kroz prizmu spomenuta tri lokaliteta, autor donosi neke zaključke o načinu rada antičkih kamenoloma na otocima.In this paper the author presents results of field surveys and rescue excavations at three sites. Islands of Sestrunj and Dugi Otok were presented exclusively on the basis of field surveys, whereas underwater rescue archaeological research was carried out in Splitska on the island of Brač. This research indicated that quarries in the vicinity of Splitska were exploited most intensively during the construction of the palace of the Emperor Diocletian. On the islands of Sestrunj and Dugi Otok, there are visible remains of quays for loading stone into ships, and wharfs for transporting stone blocks to the sea. Recovered archaeological finds date these complexes to the period of antiquity
