Antique and Late Antique fibulae, decorative items and certainaccompanying finds from Verušed

Abstract

The aim of this work is to primarily present fibulae and decorative items, and secondly co-occuring ceramic material, from the Roman settlement strata in Verušed near Osijek. Verušed is a complex archaeological site found in a rescue excavation during construction of Osijek – Beli Manastir highway route. Finds are typologically and chronologically analysed, catalogued by their stratigraphic unit and presented in pictures and/ or plates. Among decorative items, bracelets are divided into a special group due to the amount, whereas ceramic finds are separated into terra sigillata and kitchenware, tableware and storage ware. In attempt to make clearer chronological frame of the settlement, coin finds are also examined and presented. Fibulae, certain decorative items, terra sigillata and coins are used as indicators for chronological attestment of other, chronologically less sensitive, archaeological material that has been found in the same archaeological context
