The Adriatic Islands Project. The Archaeological Heritage of the Island of Brač, Croatia

The Adriatic Islands Project is a multi-national research team incorporating academics from Croatia, Slovenia, Canada and Great Britain who have been active in research in the region and seek to investigate the role of central Dalmatian islands as a bridge between the Mediterranean and Balkan cultural zones, and between the ancient cultures of Greece and Italy. The principal aims of the project are therefore: 1. The study of settlement trends through the principal archaeological periods up to the early medieval. 2. The incorporation of settlement data within its larger regional context. This will include studies related to: 2.1. The nature and impact of the movement of traded materials within local communities. 2.2. The role of long-distance contacts in settlement developtment. 2.3. The nature of direct intervention and colonisation within the region, including Greek city states or Rome. The project sites and monuments database, which was completed for the whole study area during 1994-1997, will ultimately form the basis for a regional cultural resource management database. Data collected by project will be permanently lodged within the area. In return, local agencies are currently maintaining the project sites database. This co-operation provides access to non-project fieldwork data and work carried out separately by local bodies will henceforth be compatible with the project database and will be entered onto the system as the information becomes available.
