Grgur near Nin – from Antiquity to present day

Sa？etak Approximately 1 kilometer to the west of the Nin Island, a tumulus named Grgur can be found. Its name preserves the memory of a medieval church dedicated to St. Gregory (Grgur). The site was excavated on two separate occasions: Ejnar Dyggve 1929-1930 and Mate Radovi？ 2008-2009. This paper analyzes the movable finds, graves and church remains dating from the Roman period to the present day. The simple church with a rectangular plan and semicircular apse was built at the top of the tumulus in High Middle Ages and it served as a burial place, as indicated by four graves inside the church’s nave and some graves outside the church. Movable finds are scarce, but those among them which could be dated with certain accuracy and using the radiocarbon analysis indicate that most of the graves originate from the Late Middle Ages. The church was probably torn down during the 16th-century wars
