Svjetiljke s volutama i trokutastim nosom iz Aserije koje se cuvaju u Arheoloski muzej u Splitu

The collections of the Archaeological Museum in Split contain numerous finds from Asseria, Croatia, that were purchased for the museum. The must numerous objects include clay oil lamps (mostly completely preserved or only slightly damaged). According to the records in the inventory books, the first examples were acquired in 1923, while most were purchased in 1930. No more detailed information, such as the specific site of discovery or much less the grave, could be found in the museum archives for those years. The existing data refers only to the amount paid for the antiquities and the costs of transport to Split. This work discusses the lamps with volutes and triangular noses. The degree of preservation clearly indicates that they came from graves. The inventory books of the Archaeological Museum in Split note for some of them that they came from a necropolis. In addition to lamps, the museum also purchased thin-walled vessels, terra sigillata, jugs--all obviously grave goods. The lack of data about the circumstances of the find means that it is not possible to reconstruct the grave units and in this manner attempt to gain a more detailed picture of the cemetery and a more precise dating of the graves and the material in them.
