The most part of the material belongs to the Early Byzantine period (ca. 6th and/or beginning of 7th century), a smaller part to different Prehistoric periods and to the Early Medieval period (ca. 7-9th c.).Compared with the 2014. catalogue, it has nearly the doubled number of exposed objects, and objects found in the period 2014-2016 too. The exhibition was held in the Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, spring-summer 2017.
The Gradina on Mt Jelica is one of the most important Early Byzantine and Early Medieval centers in modern Serbia, or in Northern Illyricum. It is excavated since 1984, with interruptions. Some of the architectural monuments are conserved on the site, a hill (846m) in Western Serbia, near the town of Čačak. The finds are kept in the National Museum in Čačak.

Jahrhundert) in Serbien und in der näheren Umgebung dar (Mazedonien, Bulgarien usw.). Es werden die Forschungsgeschichte der Frühbyzantinischen Archäologie in Serbien, die Methoden und der Forschungsstand untersucht. Nach einer historischen Einleitung wird auf die geographischen und klimatischen Faktoren eingegengen, bevor die Kriterien für die (Un)möglichkeit einer strikten Typenverteilung der (meist befestigten) Siedlungen behandelt werden. Danach werden die Grundprinzipien der Fortifikation und die einzelnen vorkommenden Elemente der Befestigungen (Tore, Mauern, Türme usw.) vorgeführt. Das Weiterleben der alten römischen Städte (Sirmium, Singidunum, Viminatium, Naissus) wird analysiert, wie die im 6.Jh. neugegründeten Städte oder "Städte" (Jelica-Gradina, Caričin Grad, Zlata-?), mit einem Ausblick auf das frühchristliche Gamzigrad/Romuliana. Die den Dörfern und der Wirtschaft gewidmeten Kapitel schliessen mit Schlussbemerkungen die Studie ab, die mit einer deutschen Zusammenfassung versehen ist.

It deals with the Early Byzantine and the Early Medieval finds only, Prehistorical finds are published separated. In 6th c. there was a
new fortified town built on the hilltop (846m), with five basilicas so far, residential houses, workshops etc. It had a space of about 20ha. The central anonymous town was surrounded by smaller 6th c. fortifications (villages) that are mentioned too, as there is an overview of the "Early Byzantine fortification" problem in Serbia and the Balkan region.After it's destruction around 600. it was occupied again, with ceramic dating to ca. 7-8th c., mostly Slavic forms, and a new wall, different in construction. The book is in Serbian with a large German summary.

Bishops are mentioned in towns from the 4thcent. onwards.

The work is trowing light on the partly well preserved architectural remains and on the most important small finds (inventaria domestica, tools, weapons, ceramics, glass, numismatic finds etc.). Some of them seem to have connections to regions inhabited with German tribes.
The role of such a building inside a regional center (town?) in the North of the Early Byzantine Illyricum is discussed.

on the Jelica mountain in modern Western Serbia. Dissimilarities compared to models from ancient Roman times and to other
contemporary towns like Carièin Grad are discussed.

Abstract [Archaeological notes on the fortification solutions of Early Byzantine forts in Serbia... more Abstract

[Archaeological notes on the fortification solutions of Early Byzantine forts in Serbia] The article presents some ar- chaeological notes about solutions applied in Early Byzantine fortified settlements (6th cent. – beginning of the 7th cent.) in modern Serbia (Northern Illyricum). After a short history of investigation and interpretation, the main principles of Early Byzantine fortifications located in the Balkans are considered. Most of the ‘Early Byzantine fortifications’ have been shown after excavation to be fortified rural settlements, with possible additional functions like mining, metallurgy, or trade at some of them. The choice of location for building a fortified settlement is analyzed, as well as the ditches, the wall layout, the manner of wall construction, the different forms of gates, towers, etc.
Keywords: Serbia, Illyricum, Early Byzantine period, fortifications, walls, towers, gates

The most part of the material belongs to the Early Byzantine period (ca. 6th and/or beginning of 7th century), a smaller part to different Prehistoric periods and to the Early Medieval period (ca. 7-9th c.).Compared with the 2014. catalogue, it has nearly the doubled number of exposed objects, and objects found in the period 2014-2016 too. The exhibition was held in the Gallery of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, spring-summer 2017. The Gradina on Mt Jelica is one of the most important Early Byzantine and Early Medieval centers in modern Serbia, or in Northern Illyricum. It is excavated since 1984, with interruptions. Some of the architectural monuments are conserved on the site, a hill (846m) in Western Serbia, near the town of Čačak. The finds are kept in the National Museum in Čačak.

Trial excavations have been undertaken on two sites, at Bigova and Krimovice. A concentration of sites has been observed in Lower Grbalj. The report is perliminary.

It was a paper read at the Int. Conference - 75 years of excavations in Caricin Grad (organized by prof. dr. Vladislav Popovic in 1987). A part of the results, like those from some of the churches, are still valuable. The Jelica-Gradina site is one of the most important Early Byzantine sites in the region (huge fortified settlement, several church remains, residences etc.)

and environmental changes. Due to Barbarian invasions new locations on hilltop positions have been preferred, judging by the
actual state of investigation. This process is best shown by examples of new built cities, as it is the case with the Gradina site
on the Jelica mountain in modern Western Serbia. Dissimilarities compared to models from ancient Roman times and to other
contemporary towns like Carièin Grad are discussed.

Abstract [Archaeological notes on the fortification solutions of Early Byzantine forts in Serbia... more Abstract

[Archaeological notes on the fortification solutions of Early Byzantine forts in Serbia] The article presents some ar- chaeological notes about solutions applied in Early Byzantine fortified settlements (6th cent. – beginning of the 7th cent.) in modern Serbia (Northern Illyricum). After a short history of investigation and interpretation, the main principles of Early Byzantine fortifications located in the Balkans are considered. Most of the ‘Early Byzantine fortifications’ have been shown after excavation to be fortified rural settlements, with possible additional functions like mining, metallurgy, or trade at some of them. The choice of location for building a fortified settlement is analyzed, as well as the ditches, the wall layout, the manner of wall construction, the different forms of gates, towers, etc.

The ruins of the ancient town belong to the 6th c. too and were reused in Early Medieval and Medieval times. They are not far away from Caricin Grad, that many see as Iustiniana Prima.

This has to be compared with the sketches of Arthur Evans from the 19th c., where he draws "Traces of ancient street" inside the town (see the sketches of A. Evans here).

So far, the Early Byzantine finds dominate. The remains of the city walls show the quality of the building technique, in sections.

In 1998 I ordered a new map of the Balkan peninsula (without modern entries) for my doctoral thesis "Germanic Tribes in the Balkans. Archaeological Finds from the Migration Period" (University in Belgrade), considering my needs. To my surprise, there was no such one, at least not in Serbia in this time. It was made under my supervision by an employee of the Geographical institute, and, BTW, I had to pay for it. I see a lot of "similar" maps in archaeological literature. To be clear: I did not made this map for my personal use only, I´ll be really glad if others find it useful, and I will send to anybody who addresses me a version with good resolution, for publications etc. But I would be very grateful for a note where it comes from. Some of the colleagues have already done so. I do appreciate their fair approach. Some, maybe, are not informed about the origins. Therefore this short note.
Thank you,
Mihailo Milinković
