Roman rural settlements on the island of Rab (NE Adriatic): organisation, economy and relationship with the landscape

A project devoted to the diachronic understanding of the archaeological record of Rab island (NE Adriatic) has been implemented since 2013 by the Institute of archaeology, Zagreb, and from 2016 in collaboration with the Institute of archaeology of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. The small dimensions and morphology of the island make it accessible to conduct field research on an island-wide scale, which yielded, among others, a substantial number of previously unknown Roman rural sites in both its internal and coastal areas. Thanks to the interdisciplinary approach employed, it was possible to determine their most relevant features and view them within their different landscape settings. On this occasion a selected sample of sites will be presented as case studies in addressing the issues of site's character, economic features, resources exploitation, as well as settlement organisation, and internal and regional development trends. In fact, new data from recent trial excavations and material studies, allows to build a more robust chorological framework and to propose development trajectories of at least certain sites.
