The paper presents a group of four, approximately 0.5m large, stone disks from
entrances or cemeteries of two protohistoric hill forts of north-eastern Adriatic. The disks, having
a sparse chronology with the exception of one dated to the Middle Bronze Age, show flat and plain
surfaces or covered with sub-circular depressions. One disk shows two larger cup-marks at the centre
of both faces. They are interpreted as ritual artefacts based on the association with sacred settlement
locations and comparisons with similar coeval stones found mainly close to citadel
entrances, burials and thresholds in the Aegean area and Anatolia.
