Abstract

In November 2016 a field survey campaign has been carried out in the area of the sub-Velebit Coast and within the Gacka plain. The areas interested by the survey are those of the settlements Lukovo otočko, Stinica and Čovići, while other data was gathered through literature, historic cartography, aerial photography and local population interviewing.
One of the tasks of this year's activities was that of locating the hill fort system around Lukovo bay. Due to a lack of precise geolocations and bad weather, only two positions were surveyed, giving negative results. Nevertheless, data on underwater finds and sites was plotted within GIS as well as potential land sites identified through cartography and aerial photography. These sites will be surveyed in one of the following campaigns.
In the internal area of the region, the site of the Mithraeum at Rajanov grič was surveyed, as well as the saddle Baške Oštarije.
