Aux confins de l’empire Carolingien, les fouilles archéologiques de l’ancienne agglomération médiévale de Guran en Istrie (Croatie)

The article gives the final results of the eleven years long archaeological survey of the medieval settlement Guran and its surroundings. The fortified settlement was founded after the Carolingian occupation of Istria at the end of the 8th century, as well as the church of St Simeon, containing a privileged burial. In the large three nave basilica north of the settlement were found liturgical furnishings made by the “Master of the Bale capitals”, dated at the end of the 8th or the beginning of the 9th c., but the radio Carbone evidence suggests the church was built in the 11th. Another church, St Cecilia, was built on the edges of a roman villa in late antiquity, some 600 m to the north of the settlement. This church has been transformed at least five times before abandon at the end of the Middle Ages.
