Desilo

In the village of Bajovci, there is a lake-like arm of Hutovo Blato called Desilo with the same name spring, known in recent history as an archaeological site. The age of the archaeological finds dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. In 1972, an archaeological team recovered a large quantity of amphorae and a wooden monoxylon from the waters of Desilo, although from the Middle Ages. Recent research has found an iron Roman spear, a bronze axe, a fibula, hooks from the prehistoric period, and various fragments of pottery, including Greek and Roman amphorae and local prehistoric pottery. Desilo is today a promising archaeological site, with the range of found artifacts dating from the 2nd millennium BC to the 2nd century BC. The site is currently in a phase of dormancy, but further research and its tourist valorization are being prepared.
