The Museum of Nin Antiquities
Prehistory
Material from the prehistoric periods is presented in the first room, from the Stone Age (Paleolithic, Neolithic) and the Metal Ages (Copper Bronze, and Iron). Although several Paleolithic open-air sites are known from the Nin vicinity, none have been excavated to the present, so that only one stone point from the Mousterian Culture (100,000 35,000 BC) is exhibited from this period. On the southern edge of the present-day salt-flats, at the site of Koludrovicka, a settlement was formed in the Neolithic with characteristics of the Impresso Pottery Culture (5500 5000 BC). Stone tools and characteristic fragments of pottery vessels found at this site are displayed. The only finds from Nin known to date from the Copper Age (or Eneolithic) were discovered at the position of the later forum, and they consist of fragments of pottery decorated with wart-like protrusions, zig-zag patterns, stamped triangles, and so forth. The fragments are dated to the late Copper Age (2500 2000 BC). The Nin area contains a series of stone and earthen mounds with remains from the Bronze Age (2000 - 900 BC). So far 136 grave mounds have been registered in the area of the present tourist settlement of Zaton, only some of which have been excavated. The cultural remains discovered include pottery fragments, jewellery, tools, weapons, various shells, and animal bones. A bronze dagger from this site is featured in the exhibit case, along with a stone mould for casting axes, a fragment of a bronze axe, and spears from Nin. A settlement of the tribe of the Liburnians was formed on the small island that is Nin at the very beginning of the Iron Age (ca. 900 BC). The numerous finds of pottery (various forms of bowls, weights, spindle-whorls, baking lids, platters, etc.) discovered around the Church of the Holy Cross and St. Anselm, as well as at the site of the Roman temple, all offer evidence of the culture, the lifestyle, and their development. The rich grave finds dated to the period from the 9th to the 1st centuries BC particularly stand out (jewellery: earrings, rings, brooches (fibulae), combs, pins; pottery from Italy: Apulian Geometric and Daunian). The burial customs of the Liburnians are illustrated by the reconstruction of a child's grave in an urn, and a deceased individual placed in a contracted position in a stone coffin formed of slabs. The independent development of the Liburnian Culture ceased with the Roman conquest of this region at the end of the 1st century BC.
The Early Christian Period
The third room presents the Early Christian period (from the 4th to the early 7th cent.).
The most recent archaeological excavations have confirmed that the earliest Christian congregation met in a private home adjacent to the present-day parish complex. A longitudinal ecclesiastical structure was built in the 5th century above the house, and during the reign of the Byzantine emperor Justinian (527 - 565) a new and larger church was constructed. At the same time the basilica of the Virgin Mary was built, located on the northern side of the island, and the Church of St. Andrew in the Roman harbour in Zaton. Fragments of church furnishings are displayed along with fragments of pottery and glass vessels with characteristic forms and designs for this period. A separate case features the finds from grave 41 excavated at the position of Ploce in the parish complex. Two female individuals were buried in the grave with exceptionally valuable jewellery made of gold and silver (earrings, rings, torcs). The grave is dated to the 6th-7th centuries.
Underwater Archaeology
A special pavilion was built (room 5) to display the results of the many years of underwater excavations in the region of Nin and at Zaton, where the Roman harbour of Aenona was located. The room is dominated by the two early Croatian ships (Condura Croatica) discovered at the entrance to the Nin harbour. The larger boat was conserved and entirely reconstructed, while the other was conserved and presented in the condition in which it was preserved. Radiocarbon analysis (C14) of wood samples has dated the boats to the second half of the 11th century. A partly reconstructed serilia, the vessel used by the prehistoric Liburni and Histri, is also displayed with these boats. The name serilia indicated that they were "sewn" or held together by ligatures in the form of linen and broom cords. The remains of three Liburnian seriliae have been discovered to date in the Roman harbour at Zaton. The last case displays numerous remains of ship equipment, fishing tackle, pottery and glass vessels, coins, jewellery, and other material that was discarded or fell by chance into the silty bottom of the Roman harbour at Zaton.
