Sažetak
At the territory near the mouth of the river Krka (Titus fl.), the areas of Lake Prokljan and Šibenik Gulf, very significant environmental appearances, mark the landscape. The territory makes a natural border between northern and middle Dalmatia. During the Late Antiquity several important archaeological localities existed here, e.g. the town of Skradin (Scardona) and insufficiently known settlement in present-day Bilice. The paper contains data on environmental features and resources that can be recognized as natural basis for the development of settlements during the late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages. It also contains discussion of the connections of the chosen territory with a broader territory of Dalmatia. Defined sculptural workshops and origin of the church furnishings could be relevant in that respect. The geological characteristics of the Krka River valley and surrounding areas are very versatile. Deposits surrounding the area of Krka River are comprised of sedimentary carbonates. Majority of the sedimentary rocks are of Cretaceous age. Eocene-Oligocene age deposits are also represented as Promina beds. The formation of Krka river canyon during the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene influenced the morphology and the landscape of that area. Recent morphology probably had big impact on the formation of the settlements in the investigated area.
