Abstract (english)	The paper provides an overview of recent discoveries of infrastructural facilities in ancient quarries on the Zadar islands. The facilities are located in the immediate vicinity of ancient quarries: communications from the quarries to the coast in the form of exit corridors carved in bedrock, paved tracks for transport of stone to the harbor, harbor installations for loading and shipment of stone blocks. The sites are located on Molat, Sestrunj and Dugi Otok islands. The remains of other buildings featured in quarrying complexes were also recorded: a foundry and a water cistern. Some of the infrastructural facilities contain archaeological finds that can be used to date the adjacent quarries. It is important to emphasize that, owing to their favorable geographical position, these sites are well preserved which is quite unique a situation in the entire Mediterranean region. It should be noted that the zones featuring quarries also feature communications to the sea, harbor facilities and auxiliary buildings. Such sites are rarely represented in the archaeological record and it is extremely important to preserve them from modern devastation.
