ABSTRACT The Ottoman Empire swept across southeastern Europe in the 16th century a.d., testing the boundaries of Venetian-controlled territories in the eastern Adriatic. In an area known as Ravni Kotari along Croatia’s central coast, Ottoman governance lasted about a century, but little is known about the material manifestation of conquest in the area. Here, we summarize the results of recent archaeological work at Nadin-Gradina, a hilltop settlement centrally located within Ravni Kotari. In addition to historic records, we rely upon artifact assemblages and the ruins of two monumental structures—a fortress and a mosque—to assess the material expression and consequences of Ottoman authority. Despite more than a century of Ottoman control, the artifactual record portrays a complicated and porous situation along the border, where commercial exchange continued with the west with only scant evidence of products introduced from eastern workshops. In this scenario, the mosque likely served as the most conspicuous indicator of territorial control in this contested frontier setting.

在帝国的边缘:在威尼斯边境探索奥斯曼帝国的遗产

摘要奥斯曼帝国在16世纪横扫欧洲东南部,测试了亚得里亚海东部由威尼斯人控制的领土的边界。在克罗地亚中部沿海一个被称为拉夫尼·科塔里(Ravni Kotari)的地区,奥斯曼帝国的统治持续了大约一个世纪,但对该地区征服的物质表现知之甚少。在这里,我们总结了Nadin-Gradina最近的考古工作的结果,Nadin-Gradina是位于Ravni Kotari中心的山顶居民点。除了历史记录之外,我们还依靠人工制品的组装以及两个纪念性建筑(一座堡垒和一座清真寺)的废墟来评估奥斯曼帝国权力的物质表现和后果。尽管奥斯曼帝国控制了一个多世纪,但人工记录却描绘出边界沿线的复杂多孔状况,在这里,与西方的商业交流仍在继续,只有很少的证据表明东方作坊引进了产品。在这种情况下,该清真寺很可能是这个有争议的边界环境中最明显​​的领土控制指标。
