    Abstract

    This paper aims to re-examine available evidence for the late antique and medieval settlement complex and burial site located in Mogorjelo near the modern town of Čapljina in Herzegovina (ancient Turres?), focusing on its function in Late Antiquity. While insufficient publication and the unavailability of Carl Patsch’s excavation records limit the extent of interpretation somewhat, recent methodological advances in the research of Dalmatian Late Antiquity and the publication of material from Mogorjelo provide an opportunity to re-assess and re-examine the available evidence. This paper certainly cannot provide all the answers to this complex problem, but can at least chart some directions for future research.
