摘要：SUMMARY RADIOCARBON DATES OF THE EARLY AND MIDDLE BRONZE AGE IN ISTRIA Bernhard HÄNSEL, Biba TERŽAN, Kristina MIHOVILIĆ The enclosed settlement from the developed Early and Middle Bronze Age of Monkodonja near Rovinj in Istria has been the subject of previous reports and poses a number of dating problems. On the one hand, it is clear the repeatedly rebuilt expanded enclosure in the core area called the acropolis, as well as the massive masonry at both main gates and at the enclosing wall, had a long usage life. On the other hand, their archaeological classification rests on just a few bronze finds and significant ceramics. The numerous, but mostly very fragmented, pottery finds have a distinctively local form and are not particularly helpful in narrowing down the chronological time frame. For this reason, a series of 21 14C-datings was performed in the “Leibniz” Laboratory for Age Determination in Kiel, Germany. With this data, a picture could be gained of the enclosure as it changed over the course of several rebuilding and construction phases behind the walls. All data samples for the AMS measurements were carried out on animal and human bones. Further measurements will follow, because even after the presentation of these data, a few questions remain open. According to the measurements, the hill was first used in the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, although no traces of settlement were left behind. The acropolis wall was built before 1800 BC, and was rebuilt in phases reaching into the end of the 15th century. The outer enclosure was finished one or two generations later. Its casemate-type extensions were in use up to or after 1200 BC. The graves in the area of the west gate date to the time of the foundation of the settlement on the hill, and became part of the enclosure only at a later date. The last uses of the central settlement area date back to the time around 1000 BC.
