The Changing Face of Dalmatia: Archaeological Studies in a Mediterranean Landscape

0/5 ( ratings)

The policy of systematic destruction of the cultural heritage in the Serbian-Bosnian-Croation war has led to the loss of many prehistoric and historic remains in Dalmatia. Since many of the sites can no longer be visited, this project, in the Zadar lowlands, represents the last chance for a generation to study the archaeological and paleo-environmental field remains of the largest and most fertile plain in the East Adriatic. The core fieldwork consisted of an intensive field survey of over 120 sq. km of lowland, trial excavations on six sites and soil investigations of the total surveyed area. One archive-based chapter discusses the history of the area in the early medieval and Ottoman periods. A project of immense value heightened by the tragic background against which it must now be read.
