Abstract
The results of an interdisciplinary German-Croatian investigation on the Central Dalmatian Adriatic island of St Clement are presented in this article for the first time. The remains of a Roman villa maritima were found on the Pakleni Islands, between ancient Pharos (Hvar) and Issa (Vis). Based on the geophysical prospecting and surveys of the 2010 campaign, these remains can now be divided into four building phases. The recovered finds attest to the beginning of the settlement as early as Late Hellenistic / Republican times and continuation of habitation until the Late Roman / Early Byzantine period. In addition to the architectural remains of the estate (pars rustica), evidence was also found for the use of the adjacent bay as a salt refinery or piscina vivaria.
