O nekim novim i neobjavljenim arheološkim nalazima s užeg područja Gračanice
On some new and unpublished archeological finds from the narrower area of Gračanica

Summary/Abstract: This paper provides data on new and unpublished archaeological finds originating from the narrower area of Gračanica, and which have been preserved in the holdings of the local museum collection or have been discovered only recently. In 1976, traces of a pottery workshop were discovered in the Riječka neighborhood, a few three legged stands, on the basis of which he items were dated back to antiquity. In the Vuknić area, alongside the hillfort which was already researched, there were accidental finds of fibulae, spears, parts old weapons and a roman coin, most probably the one that can be found in the local museum (a coin of Emperor Maxentius from the beginning of the 4th century). Fragments of medieval pottery from the early and late Middle Ages, as well as granaries for storing grain were found at the Grič site. At the Hurije site there are remnants of an old cemetery and numerous other antiquities, and an earthenware piece dating from Ottoman times. On the nearby hill of Straževac fragments of prehistoric pottery, daub and flints were discovered. At the Bašča site in the Drafnići neighborhood, a large amount of Ottoman era pottery was discovered, as well as pieces of jewelry. Clay water pipes were (the remains of an old waterwork) were excavated in the same neighborhood. Several archeological traces were identified in the narrow settlement area, that is the center of Gračanica. This paper also publishes basic information on several finds from the Middle Ages, primarily the remains of armor, weapons and tools. Although these are accidental finds, for which there are seldomly more information and reliable data, they still indicate an extremely rich archeological picture of the narrower area of the town of Gračanica, testifying to a long continuity of settling.
