History

Around eighty early medieval east-west oriented graves have been found at five locations in Glavice in the hamlet of Poljaci, dated to the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries and from the first half of the 9th to early 10th century. Artifacts included small daggers, jewelry, and ceramic vessels. Several of these graves had the Greek cross (crux quadrata), the St. Andrew's cross (crux decussata), or the Maltese cross carved on the inside of the grave, which represents the local specificity of medieval cemeteries in the narrower area of the Cetina region. ^[5]
