Sažetak
Archaeological research in Dalmatian hinterland is still largely lacking. This is especially true for Jasenice area (Zadar region, Croatia) framed by Velebit mountain, the Novigrad sea and karst plateau of the Zrmanja river. A field survey project was started in the spring of 2016. The area surveyed included mostly karst plateau of the Zrmanja river. The survey recorded various archaeological features such as burial mounds, enclosures, hillforts, roman villa, medieval and early modern settlement features, pottery scatters, military structures etc. Karst areas are characterized by mostly excellent and almost permanent preservation of human material practices. Apart from permanent preservation, another important trait of karst areas is the preservation of long-term material practices as well as the short-term material traces of human action. Thus, material practices have become a permanent presence in landscape micro-topography, preserved and visible as surface stone structures. Accordingly, the karst landscape provides a suitable context for studying intertwined long- term material practices and the ''nature'' of archaeological record. Archaeological record is commonly understood through notions of cultural and non-cultural formation and transformation processes. The lack of soil in a typically karst landscape provide a context for conceptualizing archaeological record as hybrid. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate the constitution of archeological record as hybrid relations through examples provided by field survey.
