Sažetak
It is well within the Holocene period that the northern Adriatic region begins to be densely populated. Available archaeological data for the Trieste and Slovenian Karst and for the Istria peninsula (Croatia) indicate that Mesolithic hunter-gatherers colonized and settled down in areas and ecological niches that during the Late Glacial were almost completely empty or only ephemerally occupied. The roots of this colonization process were however planted much earlier. The initial exploration of those areas was probably one of the ways late Paleolithic hunter gatherers responded to the loss of land caused by the northward advance of the Adriatic Sea. In some areas, increasing mobility costs led Upper Paleolithic groups to repeatedly visit fewer locations for lengthier periods of time. With time, as groups become more isolated from each other, they developed traits that in the archaeological record are reflected in more marked differences between regions. This paper discusses the results of detailed technological analysis of three Late Upper Paleolithic lithic assemblages in one such area namely, the Cicarija region in the Northwestern part of the Istria Peninsula. Data from the Late Pleistocene levels at Pupicina Cave, Nugljanska Cave, and Vesanska Cave tell a story of pioneering groups visiting previously unknown areas, getting acquainted with their resources, and plant the seeds for the later spread of human groups across the entire landscape.
