Sažetak
Morphological features of the landscape in Dalmatia, coastal part of Croatia, have been decisive for the fact that stone burial mounds are very hard to distinguish within the landscape from the cairns created through agricultural activities. Stone burial mounds excavated up to date contained Bronze Age burials, but very often excavated ones contained no traces of burial rites at all. Landscape of Central Dalmatian Islands is covered with these monuments, and it is crucial to find the way to distinguish them in order to be able to work with this data in related spatial analyses. Despite the lack of excavations, relatively good existing data on spatial distribution and current condition of these monuments offers an opportunity for their reclassification. Advances made that way can encourage a progress in our knowledge of the relations among these monuments, communities, settlements and their territories during the Bronze Age period in Dalmatia.
