Abstract

The paper presents results of the excavations conducted from 2010 to 2011, and in 2013, in Pokrovnik near Drniš, the Neolithic site with phases of the Impressed Ware and Danilo cultures. The site had already been excavated by two other researchers: Z. Brusić in 1979 and A. M. T. Moore in 2006. In addition to presentation of stratigraphic relations and general culturological image, special attention is paid to recovery of massive stone structures whose existence was not only attested in the archaeological excavations but it was also confirmed by geophysical surveys in the entire area of the site. Massiveness and number of these structures indicate to presence of a complex enclosure system of the settlement with identical stone structures.
