| Abstract | Ostatci utvrde Lopar nalaze se na samoj morskoj obali na istočnom rubu naselja Novi Vinodolski. Na području utvrde izvršeno je arheološko istraživanje tokom 2011., 2012. i 2013. godine pod vodstvom Službe za arheološku baštinu Hrvatskog restauratorskog zavoda. Na osnovu datacije slojeva i statigrafskih jedinica, iz kojih su uzorci iskopani, bilo je moguće odrediti njihovu pripadnost u nekoliko vremenskih razdoblja kako slijedi: kasna antika (početak 4., 5. i 6. stoljeće), prijelaz kasne antike u rani srednji vijek, rani srednji vijek (kraj 9. i 10.stoljeće), prijelaz ranog srednjeg vijeka u srednji vijek (kraj 9. do 12.stoljeća) te srednji vijek.
U ovome radu analiziran je životinjski materijal koji sadrži 2 766 fragmenata kostiju, zuba i rogova životinja s arheološkog lokaliteta utvrda Lopar. 896 fragmenata (32,4%) bilo je moguće taksonomski i skeletno determinirati.
Od ukupnog uzorka kroz sva razdoblja istraživanja najviše je ostataka sisavaca – Mammalia (744 fragmenta), slijede školjke i puževi – Mollusca (131 fragment) te ptice – Aves (16 fragmenata), a svega 5 fragmenata pripada ribama – Pisces.
Prema izračunu broja identificiranih uzoraka po vrstama (NISP) zaključeno je da su u svim razdobljima najzastupljeniji koštani ostaci malih preživača te da su oni bili glavni izvor hrane. Brojčano ih slijede goveda te svinje. Procjenom dobi na vrlo malom uzorku, uočeno je da su zastupljene životinje svih dobnih kategorija. Pronađeni su znakovi izglobljavanja na okrajcima dugih kostiju te prerezi kralježaka.
Nalazom kostiju divljih životinja, ptica, ljuštura školjaka i puževa, kao i ostataka riba, može se zaključiti da su i oni bili važan dio prehrane stanovništva utvrde Lopar |
| Abstract (english) | The remains of the fort Lopar are located on the coast of Croatia at the eastern edge of the town of Novi Vinodolski. This location was archaeologically researched during 2011, 2012 and 2013 under the leadership od the Service for archaeological heritage of the Croatian Conservation Institute. Based on the dating of the layers and the stratigraphic unit, from which samples were excavated, it was possible to determine their membership in several periods as follows: Late Antiquity (beginning of the 4th, 5th and 6th century), the transition from Late Antiquity into the Early Middle Ages, early Middle Ages (the end of the 9th and 10th century), the transition of the early Middle Ages in the Middle Ages (the end of the 9th to 12th century) and the Middle Ages.
In this work, the animal material containing 2,766 bone speciments, teeth and horns of animals from the archaeological site fort Lopar. It was possible to determine the taxonomic and skeletal affiliation at 896 fragments (32,4%).
Of the total sample through all the periods of research remains the most mammals - Mammalia (744 fragments), followed by mussels and snails - Mollusca (131 fragments) and birds - Aves (16 fragments), and only 5 fragments belonging to fish - Pisces.
According to the calculation of the number of identified speciments (NISP), a conclusion was made that, in all researched time periods, remains of small ruminant represent the majority of findings and that they were the main source of food. Statistically, they are followed by cattle and pigs. The age assesment has been made on a small sample, the results show that the animals are represented in all age categories. Signs of disarticulation on the endings of long bones and vertebrae sections has been found during the analysis.
The findings of bones of wild animals, birds, shells and snails, as well as the remains of fish, lead to the conclusion that they were an important part of the diet of the population in Lopar |
