Assessing the later prehistoric environmental archaeology and landscape development of the Cetina Valley, Croatia

This paper describes preliminary work on the environmental and archaeological potential of the Cetina River Valley, Croatia. Two seasons of fieldwork and assessment have suggested that the valley contains a preserved landscape, much of which is waterlogged. It is clear that there is the potential to address many local and regional questions concerning land use, subsistence and environmental change in an area where previously only limited environmental archaeology has been undertaken. One pressing issue is how to prospect for both cultural and environmental archaeological deposits within this regional landscape. This is especially true in cases where little ‘ base-line data’ exists. This paper outlines the current practice and suggests a number of new approaches to prospecting for environmental ‘ hotspots’ .
