Sažetak
Ravni Kotari is a physiognomic region within central part of Littoral Croatia. Geomorphologically, this area is characterized by alternating carbonate ridges and flysch valleys, with large areas of fertile land. In that area, a total of 29 Neolithic sites are known today. Microlocational analysis shows that they are located close to water, pastures, forests, fertile Quaternary sediments with related arable plots and clay deposits. In order to create a complete picture of perception, categorization and exploitation of the economic potential at Ravni kotari in Neolithic period, and to determine possible locations of still undiscovered şites, all currently known Neolithic sites in Ravni Kotari were recorded as points in GIS software ArcMap. Based on the spatial distribution of currently known sites, types of geological sediments, basic geomorphological features and availability of water, we suggest 41 new possible Neolithic sites. They can mostly be found in the middle and southern/southeastern part of Ravni Kotari. The main reason for that are larger areas of Quaternary sediments there than in other parts of Ravni Kotari. Their spatial distribution shows positive correlation to the economic potentials of Ravni Kotari environment. Future field work should be oriented towards those potential sites to confirm, improve or disprove proposed theoretical model.
