Abstract
In the first phase of preparatory activities for the Environmental Impact Study concerning Expressways in Northern Croatia, in the course of 2005 archaeological survey was conducted, and archaeological sites in the examined plots of Posavina from Okučani to Stara Gradiška and Podravina from Virovitica to Slatina were registered. On the planned road route from Okučani to Stara Gradiška at a length of 10 km, four archaeological sites were registered, and from Virovitica to Slatina at the length of 32,70 km, seven archaeological sites were registered, belonging to prehistoric, ancient and medieval periods.
After field surveys the sites were preserved and the surveys of the “Cultural Historical Heritage” within the Environmental Impact Study were drawn up. The reports contain the terms for road construction − the rescue of valuable cultural heritage from destruction, which includes obligatory permanent monitoring by archaeologists of the removal of surface layers of earth on all planned road routes and archaeological rescue excavations at registered sites.
