The island of Pag is nowadays located in the Croatian region of northern Dalmatia, while in Roman times it was part of Liburnia, the most Romanized part of the province of Illyricum/Dalmatia. One part of this work summarises the topography of the archaeological site in Caska bay. On land the necropolis, part of the Late Roman settlement (excavations led by Anamarija Kurilić, University of Zadar) and the storage part of a villa rustica (dir. Goran Skelac, Geoarheo d.o.o.) have been unearthed. The underwater excavations in Caska were directed by Irena Radić Rossi (University of Zadar) and Giulia Boetto (Centre Camille Jullian, Université Aix-Marseille, CNRS) - PROJECT "CISSA ANTIQUA". One of the aims of this thesis was to number the known and potential sites of Roman villas on the island of Pag, in order to identify where future archaeological researches may be directed. Another goal of this work was to revise the documentation of the archaeological exacavation of the productive complex with dolia in Caska that was carried out in 2005 and 2006 by the company Geoarheo d.o.o. This excavation discovered the storage part of a productive complex, located in the northern part of Caska bay, right beyond the beach. In the N-E part of the area two identic cellars, 2.4 m deep, have been discovered. Immediately south a cella doliaria with six dolia has been excavated.
The ceramics discovered during the excavation were also studied. They embrace the Italian Terra Sigillata, Eastern Sigillata, thin walled pottery, coarse and cooking ware, African Terra Sigillata and cooking ware, balsamaries, oil lamps and stamped tegulae.
