Radiokarbonski datumi ranoga i srednjeg Broncanog doba u Istri

The enclosed settlement from the developed Early and Middle Bronze Age of Monkodonja near Rovinj in Istria has been the subject of previous reports and poses a number of dating problems. The numerous, but mostly very fragmented, pottery finds have a distinctively local form and are not particularly helpful in narrowing down the chronological time frame. For this reason, a series of 21 14C-datings was performed in the "Leibniz" Laboratory for Age Determination in Kiel, Germany. With this data, a picture could be gained of the enclosure as it changed over the course of several rebuilding and construction phases behind the walls. All data samples for the AMS measurements were carried out on animal and human bones. According to the measurements, the hill was first used in the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, although no traces of settlement were left behind. The last uses of the central settlement area date back to the time around 1000 BC. [Abridged Publication Abstract]
