Prapovijesni fundus kao sastavni dio Arheološke zbirke
Franjevačkog samostana na Humcu kod Ljubuškog čuva vrijedne
i za arheologiju značajne predmete. B. Čović je publicirao
značajnije skupine prapovijesnih nalaza, s posebnim osvrtom
na reprezentativnije objekte. Inventar prapovijesnog fundusa
većim dijelom čine slučajno prikupljeni nalazi sa širega područja
Hercegovine. Brojnošću eksponata dominiraju mlađa prapovijesna
razdoblja (brončano i željezno doba), a starija (paleolit, neolit i
eneolit) zastupljena su pojedinačnim predmetima. Željeznodobni
nakit Humačke zbirke predstavljen je ukrasima za glavu, vrat, prsa
i ruke. Tema ovog rada su fibule, dok će ostali nakitni i ukrasni
predmeti (igle, ogrlice, ukrasi za kosu, naušnice, privjesci, pojasne
kopče i sl.) biti tema predstojećih radova.The prehistoric inventory as a component of the Archaeological
Collection of the Franciscan Monastery in Humac, near Ljubuški,
encompasses some valuable and, in terms of archaeological
scholarship, important items. B. Čović published the major groups
of prehistoric finds with special reference to the more notable
pieces. The prehistoric inventory consists largely of chance finds
gathered over a broad swath of Herzegovina’s territory. The high
number of pieces are dominated by those from more recent
prehistoric periods (the Bronze and Iron Ages), while the older
periods (Paleolithic, Neolithic and Eneolithic) are present as
individual items. Iron Age jewellery from the Humac collection
includes adornment for the head, neck, breast and hands.
Fibulae shall be the topic of this paper, while other jewellery
and decorative items (pins, necklaces, hair adornment, earrings,
pendants, belt buckles, etc.) will be covered in subsequent works
