SERMIN.
SERMIN.
A A A Prehistoric Prehistoric and and Early Early Early Roman Roman Settlement Settlement in in Northwestern Northwestern Istria
Istria
The following results from excavations carried out in 1987 at Sermin near Koper are
presented in the series: the extent of the settlement, the stratigraphy, the remains of
Bronze Age houses and Roman leveling of the ground. Metal, glass and bone material
finds, as well as Prehistoric and Roman pottery, are analyzed in detail. It was determined
that settlement was of long duration, probably continuous from the Middle Neolithic to
the middle of the 1st century AD. The settlement at Sermin was constantly situated in the
middle of trade and cultural currents between Italy, the Balkans and the Mediterranean
region. Attesting the plentiful production of wine and amphorae along the Adriatic coast of Italy already from the
middle of the 2nd century BC, the archaeological chapters are complemented by chemical and mineralogical
research on the ceramics of the amphorae. The paleo-vegetational conditions in the coastal region of Koper are
presented at the end. The development of settlement in the region of northwestern Istria from Prehistoric times to the
Early Middle Ages is described in the supplement.

A Late Roman and Early Medieval Settlement)
One of the most important and largest late Roman and early medieval sites in the eastern
Alpine region is presented in this book. Two seasons of rescue excavations have illuminated
the appearance of this densely inhabited settlement, which was occupied from the
4th –9th centuries AD. Seven partially destroyed wooden houses, a completely preserved
stone cult structure, and part of a late Roman child cemetery have enabled, along with
the incorporation of information from earlier finds, the convincing reconstruction of existence in the settlement.
Coarse pottery predominates among the small finds, and it is presented in detail in the book. The excavations at
Tinje have thus to a great extent broached the central problem of Slovenian ethnogenesis: the contact between the
Romanized indigenous population and the immigrants Slavs. Material for comparative analysis was included from all
more important late Roman settlements in the eastern Alpine region.
