Abstract
The paper presents results of archaeological field researches performed in two campaigns in the western part of Mount Mosor, between Kučine village and Klis Field (Kliško polje). The archaeological literature is introduced a number of new pre-historic sites. The accent is placed on the pre-historic period because described are three hill-fort localities (Gradina above Kučine, Kapina, Kučinska doca) and two tumuli (Mačkovac, Kučinska doca). The hill forts are treated two-fold: in their mutual relations and the possibility of belonging to a smaller herdsmen community with its main settlement at Kapina, and in the context of the wider Split - Solin - Klis area.
The site at Kapina was inhabited also in the Late Classical period, which corresponds with its high position and distance from main roads. In the troubled times of the Late Middle and the Early Modern Ages, its function, both strategic and as a refuge, was taken over by the nearby Kuk fortification.
