Recommended Posts

A wonderful find on Hvar, Croatia, a 42 mile island found off the coast in the Adriatic Sea. This area was near a lot of ancient Greek and Roman trade.

“Archaeologists on the Croatian island of Hvar have unearthed an ancient necropolis, or vast burial ground, dated to between the fourth and fifth centuries A.D.“

The fourth- or fifth-century cemetery contained the remains of several individuals buried in jars
