Sažetak
The Roman conquest of eastern Adriatic coast lasted from the First Illyrian War in 229 BCE until 9 CE, when the final battle took place. To secure the conquered coastal region, the territory between the colonies of Iader and Salona, where the first Roman immigrants had already arrived, Romans built – from the east to the west – two fortresses and several forts connected by the roads. In the scientific literature, this defense construction was laconically called the Delmataean limes, and it has been the subject of persistent scientific discussion. The aim of the AdriaRom project is to investigate the line of fortresses and forts of so-called Delmataean limes in order to show whether that line was a border or not. This area has seen numerous conflicts between the Romans and the indigenous populace which left their mark on the landscape. Using airborne laser scanning (ALS) we hope we can identify features which could further testify to the actions of the Roman military besides those already known from research done at the two legionary fortresses of Burnum on the river Krka and Tilurium on the river Cetina. This landscape approach will also give us an insight into the infrastructure of the indigenous populace, and having that in mind, we’ve set out to define our target areas. Our area of research is also specific because of the rough karst geology and dense Mediterranean vegetation which affects the visibility of sites and features. This poster will present the problems we encountered, our solutions and the results of the ALS scanning. Following the project methodology field survey will be conducted on target areas, in order to determine the archaeological potential and basic information on the distribution of archaeological findings and sites in areas that are selected by the ALS scanning.
