Sažetak
In this paper, we utilize landscape survey and analyses of material assemblages to track the development and decline of the prehistoric settlement at Brinje in modern-day Croatia. Brinje was first known as Monetium, an important cultural center for the Bronze and Iron Age Japodians, but became increasingly marginalized as the area came under the control of the Roman Empire, starting ca 200 BC. We hypothesize that changes in site characteristics, artifacts, and the surrounding landscape hold the key to understanding the reasons behind the waning importance of Monetium as a cultural center. Our project represents an important first step in a long- term investigation of Iapodian sociopolitical development in the context of the European Iron and Roman Ages, as well as in building a systematic framework for testing prehistoric site function that can be used in different regions and time periods.
