Radiocarbon dating of St. Stephen's in Pustijerna church in Dubrovnik, Croatia

Recent archeaological excavations of the church of St. Stepehen in Pustijerna, Dubrovnik, Croatia, undertaken in 2011/2012, comprised all cultural layers inside the church area and a segment of church cemetary underneath the church courtyard resulting in some important new findings. Several phases of the church development were documented, from the pre-Romanesque period to the destruction of the church in the Big Earthquake in 1667. Radiocarbon analyses 5 human bone samples proved the countinuous existence of the graveyard for several centuries, at least for the period 806 – 1286 cal AD, as well as the existence of the pre-Romanesque church before 806 cal AD. The charcoal samples resulted in the periods 963 – 1219 cal AD and 1296 – 1407 cal AD, and can be related to either burning after eartquakes or to the extension/ rebuilding of the church.
