Archaeometric Analysis of Bronze Age Potsherds from Vrana Lake (Cres Island): A Study of Provenance and Dating of Slope Processes

Petrography, mineralogy and geochemistry are usful tools in provenance and technology studies of ancient pottery and their comparison. This approach was used to characterize potsherds from colluvial and alluvial fan deposits in the southern part of Vrana lake catchment. The potsherds were further used to explain slope processes during late Holocene. Most of the soil cover in the southern part of the Vrana lake catshment was washed out during the Bronze Age. Erosion of dolomite bedrock has been active throughout most of the late Holocene to the present day.
