Sažetak
The first campaign of field surveys in the framework of the “Archaeological Topography of the Island of Rab“ Project (carried out by the Institute of Archaeology in collaboration with the Conservation Department of the Ministry of Culture in Rijeka) was carried out in October 2013 and focused on the territory of the Lopar Municipality. The team surveyed the sites known from the literature and from previous research, but also those pointed out by informants. All the sites were mapped, that is, their GPS coordinates were taken. In addition to sites, the positions of chance finds were documented, too, as well as individual recognizable structures observed on the sites. Alongside the mapping of immovable finds, movable finds and samples were collected. The surveyed sites cover all the historical periods, and the collected data will be stored in the relational database (under construction) and implemented in the GIS software.
The results of this campaign of field surveys include the identification of 22 new sites, as well as a survey of the state of preservation of previously known sites and a detailed recording of layouts of two sites. Due to pronounced water erosion, present on almost the entire Lopar Peninsula, the layers and finds at most sites are being worn away. In addition to this, it has been observed that certain sites are exposed to another threat, i.e. destruction by visitors. However, more substantial results and interpretations will be possible only once the GIS system and database have been made fully operational.
