Archaeological caving in Croatia: The Illyrian rituals of Nakovana cave

Article Abstract:

The Nakovana cave on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast that overlooks the Adriatic Sea was one rare discovery in archaeology and unique in southeast Europe. Illyrians did not write anything about themselves, hence Nakovana is a unique insider's view of their spiritual world during the final centuries of their incorporation into the Mediterranean world-system.
