Abstract

Nadin (Nedinium, Nedinum) je arheološko nalazište Zadarskoj županiji i sastoji se od
gradinskog naselja ograđenog bedemima, arheoloških formacija na padini te nekropole u
podnožju brda. Od strane Odjela za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru tijekom 2015. godine
provedeno je arheološko istraživanje sonde A lokaliteta Nadin. Prema dataciji slojeva sonde
A isti su, i njima pripadajući ostaci životinjskog materijala , klasificirani u tri razdoblja: I.
azdoblje (200 g. pr. Kr. – 50 g. p. Kr), II. razdoblje (50 g. p .Kr. – 300 g. p. Kr.) te III.
azdoblje (kasni antički i kasni srednji/novi vijek).
U ovom diplomskom radu analizirano je 2566 uzoraka životinjskog materijala s
arheološkog lokaliteta Nadin. Bilo je moguće determinirati 559 uzoraka (22%). Od ukupnog
broja determiniranih uzoraka, najviše uzoraka (548) pripada sisavcima (Mammalia), a
vega 11 uzoraka pripada pticama (Aves).
Iz izračuna broja identificiranih uzoraka po vrstama (NISP) proizlazi najveća
zastupljenost koštanih ostataka malih preživača, kvantitativno ih slijede goveda i svinje što
ukazuje da su ondašnjem stanovništvu osim glavnog izvor prehrane, služili i za mlijeko
vunu i rad. Uz to, nalaz kostiju divljih životinja i ptica također govori o njihovoj važnosti u
prehrani stanovništva lokaliteta Nadin.

Abstract (english)

Nadin (Nedinium, Nedinum) is an archaeological site in Zadar County which consist of a
settlement Gradina, archaeological formations on the hillside and necropolis at the bottom.
In 2015., the Department of Archaeology of the University of Zadar conducted an
archaeological survey of probe A of the Nadin site. Accordingly to the dating of the layer
of the probe A, and their belonging remains of animal material, they were classified into
three periods: I. period (200 B. C. – 50 A. C.), II. period (50 B. C. – 300 g. A. C.) and III.
period (late ancient age and late midlle age/new era).
In this work, 2 566 samples of animal material from the archaeological site of Nadin were
analyzed. Determination was possible for 559 samples (22%). Out of the total number of
determined samples, most of them belong to mammals (Mammalia) and only 11 samples
belong to birds (Aves).
Succeeding the calculation of the number of identified samples by species (NISP), the
highest number of bone remains belongs to those od small ruminants, quantitatively
followed by cattle and pigs which indicates that they were the main source of food for the
population at that time periods, but also used for milk, wool and as working animals.
Besides that, the finding of bird bones and bones of wild animals also shows of their
importance in the nutrition of the population of Nadin site.
