Sažetak
The gradina are monumental structures built mostly on prominent positions. It appears that these structures were predominantly built during Bronze and Iron Age. The gradina are prehistoric building projects which left a significant mark on the landscapes of the eastern Adriatic coast and its hinterland. This presentation will attempt to demonstrate that the interpretation of gradina sites is largely contingent upon the interpretative paradigmatic framework. The relationship between paradigmatic framework and interpretation works on several levels, from the very terminology used to describe such sites to the accounts of historical processes which were instrumental in building these structures. The main thesis of this presentation is that the designation of gradina sites as hillforts and the like stems from the textual reality of suggested interpretations. To put it in another words, the gradina are described and interpreted predominantly in relation to posited culture-historical narrative of culture change rather than some empirical reality.
