Abstract
The paper presents an overview of archaeological and historical research of the Viničica site near Josipdol which was conducted in the period between 2005 and 2010. The importance of the prehistoric settlement in Viničica far exceeds the micro-regional framework. In the course of its long existence, the settlement took advantage of its convenient geo-strategic position and played the role of a mediator in connecting the interior and the Adriatic coast, the areas of the Alps and the Balkans. This was the reason systematic archaeological excavations of the site were conducted from 2005 to 2010, and will be continued next year. Rich finds attest to the hypothesis that the site contains a very rich settlement which had a central role in a micro and macro-regional contexts. From 2002 to 2010, the archaeological survey included the cutting of four 4x4 m trenches (trenches 1, 4, 5, 6, 8), three 2x6 m control trenches (trenches 2, 3, 9) and one profile of a section of the fortification walls. Excavation of the trenches 4, 8, and 9 was completed in the period from 2005 to 2010. The trench 7 was excavated in 2010 and it marks the final stage of trial trenching and the beginning of excavation of larger areas. Especially numerous finds unearthed during the excavations were analyzed and prepared for the first comprehensive publishing. The research will continue.
