Vizula, Croatia
I century A.D.

Vižula, archaelogic site near Medulin, inhabited from the Neolithic to the early Middle Ages. Part of the residential coastal villa has been researched (1st-2nd ) century with the porch towards the sea, black and white mosaic floors, pools and water reservoir, remains of the thermae area, toilet facilities, lead and built sewerage infrastructure. The building is a terrace-shape one at the sea line, so that part of the building is under the sea where also built remains of the pier are discernible. Three construction and preconstruction phases have been defined in the part of the villa already researched, with intermediate phases which lasted from the 1st to the 6th century. On the peninsular area Burle there was a necropolis for that settlement. Five hundred and eighty-four incinerated and skeleton graves (1st - 6th century) were discovered; graves have heterogeneous architecture (graves in amphorae, built tombs, two lead coffins in built tombs). In the western part of the necropolis the sector of the burial cult rites was discovered, and the Late Antiquity structure of a square ground-plan could be a fenced grave area (locus sepulturae) close to the border wall of the necropolis. The rich grave inventory shows a higher social position of the deceased persons that, form 1st to the 6th century, inhabited the Late Antiquity construction complex on the peninsula.
