Wind of change: tracking rapid development in cultural landscape of eastern Croatia

Urban development and the building activities that can be followed through last five decades in eastern Croatia on the featured examples from Josipovac, Čepin, Osijek, and Klisa, show all the dramatics and speed of actions which seriously threaten and damage archaeological sites. We can divide this period in two main phases. Last two decades we were witnesses of large infrastructure projects like roads, highways and canals in eastern Croatia. System of monument protection was efficient and many archaeological sites were saved by rescue excavations. But period from 1960' to 1990' was not covered with systematic monument protection work. Landscape reconstructions made by mapping the specific changes in landscape through aerial remote sensing approaches show large negative impact of construction works on archaeological sites in this development phase. The presentation will focus on results of the analysis of satellite imagery and aerial photography, also showing achieved results during the low altitude aerial survey. The satellite imagery and aerial photography data were analyzed to examine any kind of correlation between environmental, archaeological and aerial imaginery data and the results were compared with the results of the field survey.
