Beginning of Pharos – the present archaeological evidence

Recent archaeological research on the Stari Grad Plain, Croatia, sheds new light on the early phases of settlement at Pharos, now known as Stari Grad. The study clarifies long-standing ambiguities surrounding the site's pre-rampart occupation by analyzing depositional processes and existing evidence. Contrasting interpretations from Jeličić Radonić and Katić (2015) with those of Popović and Devlahović (2018), this research provides a more precise understanding of how the settlement evolved before the construction of the solid block-built rampart. The findings are based on excavations conducted by multiple teams, including the Adriatic Islands Project, the Conservational Department in Split, and the Museum of Stari Grad, offering a comprehensive view of the site's early development.
