The paper is aimed at the investigation of the stone provenance of the monuments from different periods from several important localities in Dalmatia. The represented periods are Early Roman Empire, Late Antiquity and Middle Ages. The chosen localities are Kapitul near Knin, Rižinice and Hollow church in Solin and the town of Split. The goal of the research is to determine stone varieties used for antique and medieval monuments. Chosen localities were very important during the Antiquity and Middle Ages. Kapitul, Rižinice and Hollow church are famous for early medieval royal Benedictine monasteries. In the Roman period a military unit was stationed at Kapitul (1st c. AD), and in Rižinice and Hollow church early Christian architecture existed. The development of Split is well known. The samples from Kapitul originate from a military Roman inscription, an early medieval fragment of church furniture and sarcophagus from the later Middle Ages. According to macroscopic and microscopic petrographic determination all three samples were determined as white colour limestones of bioclastic type that are partially dolomitized. Although it was observed that all three samples show differences in petrographic characteristics and composition. Especially sample taken from the Roman inscription cannot be fully compared with the other two samples. Samples from sarcophagus and church furniture show similarities in bioclasts composition and in the ratio of bioclasts to micrite, although the dimensions of bioclasts and its distribution is slightly different. There is a possibility that these two samples were taken from the similar rock formation or quarry. The sample from Roman inscription differs, therefore it is assumed that this stone material belongs to other formation or quarry. Samples from Solin and Split broaden the existing data on stone provenance of the monuments in Dalmatia. The samples originate from the early Christian and early medieval monuments. To determined more accurately and reliably the origin of the stone material it is necessary to make further analysis and to take more samples from the surrounding old quarries. In addition, determination of qualitative and semiquantitative mineral composition with the X- ray powder diffraction is planned. |
