Its ancient name is, with great certainty, Siculi. Pliny the Elder 1 mentions it, situating it between Salona and Tragurium. Today's hotel complex is situated on a large part of the site, and during its construction it has been partly devastated. The site has been excavated with different intensity since 1991, both on land and under the sea. The site can be dated from 2nd century BC up to 5/6 century AD. The Hellenistic phase of the settlement ended violently at the end of the 1st century BC. The most significant excavations on land took place during 2007 2 . A trench for the planned sewage collector, 200 m long and 5 m wide, was rescue excavated, crossing the site from east to west. It revealed an orthogonal layout with 10 streets of N-S orientation and a total of 11 house blocks, about 13 m wide. At the north part of the site lay the remains of a fortification wall, altogether about 80 m long. Architecture of the Hellenistic phase is, by its nature, deeper and better preserved, unlike the Roman one, which has been influenced by intensive agriculture and later building, and largely devastated. This excavation produced an abundance of material, and as it usually happens in settlements, pottery dominates. Being a small museum without its own restorer, the Municipal Museum of Kaštela focused its finances on restoration of metal. Very little of pottery has been restored and intensive pottery studies have begun only recently. In this paper a cross-section of the Hellenistic pottery found in a house with a street on the eastern side from quadrant 19-21 will be presented ( . The house is 13 m wide (E-W) and divided into smaller rooms, 6, 5 m and 3, 25 m in surface. In length, it is 18 m long (N-S) and divided into rooms by 3: they are 6 or 3 m long. The northern area of the house (which is roofless) was abundant in large pottery vessels, suggesting it could have been an area for food storage (amphorae, pithoi), but also a workspace (loom weights, grindstones, various metal tools have been found in there). Amphorae fragments are frequent founds among the Hellenistic pottery in Resnik. They have been found in houses and in streets, some of them complete and leaning against the walls. Some of the fragments were used for leveling and as hydro isolating material of the house flooring, but also as garbage on the streets. A preliminary analysis concluded that the most frequent type of amphorae belong to Lamboglia 2 ( 3 . Various stamps on amphorae can tell us about long-distance wine trade in Resnik. Based on the quantity of amphora stoppers found (about 500 of them), we can say that our collection is among the more numerous ones in 1 Pliny Elder, III 141.
