ABSTRACT
The social hierarchy and social complexity were maintained, the area continued to be integrated into the wider Mediterranean and imperial networks, and a degree of economic stability is displayed in all of its areas throughout this century. However, this is only part of the whole picture, as some elements of deeper social changes and challenges to the established social hierarchies could sporadically be seen throughout the province at a local level and within the upper echelons of Dalmatian elites. The re-use of prehistoric barrows for burial represents an even more radical strategy for claiming the past as these barrows were made in a distant time that the late antique communities will have barely remembered. The re-use of prehistoric barrows was recorded frequently on the Glasinac plateau, in the very east of the province. However, the other artefacts indicate connections with the Roman provincial heritage, such as iron purse mounts, and so the cemetery has generally been attributed to local population.
