Greco-Hellenistic pottery from the St Elijah site in Zadar

U radu se obrađuju nalazi grčke i helenističke keramike iz arheoloških slojeva ispod srušene parohijske kuće uz crkvu sv. Ilije u Zadru, a koja počiva na rimskom kapitoliju. Zastupljene vrste grčko-helenističke keramike jesu crnofiguralna, crvenofiguralna, keramika tipa Gnathia, crnopremazana, sivopremazana, crvenopremazana i jedan ulomak helenističkog dekorativnog crijepa. Navedene artefakte treba promatrati u cjelini s ostalim istovremenim nalazima sa zadarskog poluotoka, no oni već na prvi pogled mogu potvrditi postojanje bogate liburnske zajednice. Premda materijal potječe iz površinom malog istraženog prostora, njegova obrada dio je slagalice koja tvori sliku nedovoljno poznatog prapovijesnog Zadra te potvrđuje trgovačke kontakte sa zapadnom jadranskom obalom i srednjom Dalmacijom.This paper analyses the findings of Greek and Hellenistic pottery from the archaeological strata below the demolished parish house next to the church of St Elijah in Zadar, which rests on the Roman capitol. The represented types of Greco-Hellenistic pottery are: black-figured, red-figured, Gnathia-type, black-coated, grey-coated and red-coated pottery and one fragment of a Hellenistic decorative tile. These artefacts should be observed in their entirety with other simultaneous findings from the Zadar peninsula, but they can straightaway confirm the existence of a rich Liburnian community. Although the material comes from a small explored area, its processing is a part of the puzzle which creates an image of the insufficiently investigated prehistoric Zadar and which confirms trading contacts with the west Adriatic coast and central Dalmatia
