Abstract
The paper presents the results of the field survey carried out in 2009 along the route of the planned pipeline system for Lika and Dalmatia. Geographically, the areas surveyed include part of the southern Velebit mountain and Bukovica region (the town of Obrovac), which are divided by the Zrmanja River. Although only a minor segment of the Obrovac surroundings was explored during this survey, publishing its results is important for creating the future archaeological review of this insufficiently researched area. The paper analyzes the 26 sites identified during the survey of the Obrovac surroundings. Most of the sites have been unknown to the archaeologists and only a few of them are mentioned in expert literature. The most numerous are prehistoric sites (hill-forts, burial mounds, sites with Late Bronze Age finds etc.) that can roughly be dated to the period between Early Bronze Age and Late Iron Age. A few Antiquity and Middle Age sites and Modern Age sites were also documented. While some of the sites are located along the new pipeline route, other documented sites – also identified during the survey – can be found somewhat off the planned route.
