摘要：Two jugs found in the cemetery in Laterza kept in the Bari Museum in Italy have inspired the authorto discuss the ties and connections between the two Adriatic coasts. The jugs are almost the samein surface, shape and decoration as one jug found in barrow in Bagajić near Obrovac in Sinj territory,which belongs to the cultural area of the Cetina culture. That Early Bronze Age culture spread alongthe central part of the east Adriatic coast and the islands, all the way to central Bosnia and eastHerzegovina. The mode of burial in barrows of the Cetina culture can be cremation or laying thedeceased in bent position within the coffi n constructed of stone slabs. Besides in barrows, the tracesof Cetina culture can be found in caves (Škarin Samograd, west of Unešić) and the open settlements,such as hill-fort Pod near Bugojno in central Bosnia. Cetina culture has strong infl uences of the vesselsfrom the Campania area, so the author assumes that the same will be discovered for the Daun area.The handles of the sub-apenine type can be found in diff erent sites from the east Adriatic islands tocentral Bosnia. Considering these early connections, the close relationship between the two coasts inthe Early Iron Age becomes more evident.
