ProHeritageProject ArchaeologicalSurvey – Issues of Archaeological Research in Karst Areas

The ProHeritage project was started in 2018 with the intention to develop methodologies and procedures for the classification of landscape character types. The problem of characterizing landscape is approached from a specifically archaeological angle. This means that our focus is material remains in the landscape and how they embody various practices. In order to achieve this, a careful and systematic documentation of all material remains in the landscape is required. Archaeological survey is deployed as one of the key methods in the landscape archaeology in order to evaluate data acquired using other methods. Karst is a specific archaeological environment where specific kinds of archaeological remains are preserved and they are preserved in a specific manner. Therefore, the problems we are facing include the identification of various archaeological remains as they are preserved in a karst environment and the development of proper survey and documentation techniques appropriate for the area we are working in. Here, we would like to present some of the findings of our survey project conducted in a hinterland area of northern Dalmatia.
