- Abstract
In the Northern Adriatic prehistory, the island of Krk constitutes a separate territorial entity within the context of the Liburnian group of the Late Bronze Age and the Liburnians of the Iron Age. Although there are many sites dating from this period, some items were found by accident. Works carried out on the infrastructure, in the city of Krk and in its immediate vicinity, revealed a group of items consisting of three bronze socketed axes (celts) and a massive bronze open-ended bracelet. The axes are crafted in the distinctive fashion which spread from the original Urnfield culture area, during its phase IV, via Bosnia, to the Eastern Adriatic coast. The bracelet most closely resembles items from phase II of the Urnfield culture of the pre-Alpine area.
