Abstract
As part of the Archaeological topography of the Island of Rab project, field surveys were carried out in October 2015 in the territory of the City of Rab municipality. The research is carried out in collaboration with the Conservation Department in Rijeka, financed by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Rab.
The recorded sites and positions were georeferenced, photographs were taken on site and data was recorded in previously designed forms. All data will be entered into the GIS designed specifically for the project. The sites included in the survey relate to all time periods, with significantly numerous sacral and medieval ones. Apart from those already mentioned in the literature, the research located a previously unknown prehistoric site. The results of the underwater survey in Barbatski Channel are ex¬tremely relevant because they confirmed underwater docking structures in front of Mirine site, previously identified during the project's seurveys. In collaboration with the company Novena, aerial footage of chosen sites was taken, and thanks to the data gathered while preparing the catalogue of the archaeological collection of the St. Bernardino of Siena Monastery in Kampor, the project also participated at the Night of Museums manifestation.
