Abstract

U ovom je diplomskom radu napravljena arheobotanička analiza biljnih ostataka sakupljenih
u antičkoj luci Barbir u Sukošanu, koja se koristila od 1. do 5. stoljeća. Ukupno je obrađeno
13 uzoraka sakupljenih 2019. i 2020. godine iz kojih je izolirano ukupno 525,25 biljnih
nekarboniziranih makrofosila. Determinirano je ukupno 24 biljnih svojti, a po najvećoj
brojnosti ističu se: obična smokva (Ficus carica L.), pitoma maslina (Olea europaea L.),
morska resa (Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Asch.), vinova loza (Vitis vinifera ssp. vinifera
L./sylvestris (C. C. Gmel.) Hegi), obična kupina (Rubus fruticosus L. agg.) i pinija (Pinus
pinea L.). Ostale svojte čine samo 6,71 % pronađenih biljnih ostataka. Kultivirane i korisne
drvenaste biljke su bile najbrojnije makrofosilima i čine čak 78,98 % analiziranih ostataka. Iz
usporedbe s drugim istraživanjima antičkih lokaliteta na hrvatskoj obali Jadrana i drugdje u
Sredozemlju vidi se da su biljke pronađene u antičkoj luci Barbir očekivani biljni predstavnici
mediteranskih korisnih drvenastih i zeljastih biljaka, što upućuje na zaključak da je tadašnje
stanovništvo uzgajalo i koristilo tipične sredozemne biljke.

Abstract (english)

In this thesis, an archaeobotanical analysis of plant remains collected from the ancient harbor
of Barbir in Sukošan has been conducted. The harbor was in use from the 1st to the 5th
century. A total of 13 samples collected in 2019 and 2020 were processed, yielding 525.25
non-carbonized macrofossils of plants. A total of 24 plant taxa were identified, with the most
abundant ones being: common fig (Ficus carica L.), domesticated olive (Olea europaea L.),
Mediterranean seagrass (Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Asch.), grapevine (Vitis vinifera ssp.
vinifera L./sylvestris (C. C. Gmel.) Hegi), common blackberry (Rubus fruticosus L. agg.), and
stone pine (Pinus pinea L.). Other taxa constituted only 6.71% of the identified plant remains.
Cultivated and useful woody plants were the most abundant in macrofossils, accounting for
78.98% of the analyzed remains. A comparison with other studies of ancient sites along the
Croatian Adriatic coast and elsewhere in the Mediterranean region reveals that the plants
found in the ancient harbor of Barbir are representative of expected Mediterranean useful
woody and herbaceous plant species. This suggests that the inhabitants of that time cultivated
and utilized typical Mediterranean plants.
