Abstract

The fertile Stari Grad Plain on the island of Hvar has preserved the Greek division of the land that was distributed to the inhabitants of the town of Pharos, who cultivated grapes and olives there. The research, which relied on aerial photographs, recognized the characteristic oblong parcels. There is also a preserved boundary stone with a Greek inscription. Such land divisions were later documented on other islands of the eastern Adriatic, but none have been as well preserved as the Greek chora on the Stari Grad Plain, which is one of the most notable ancient cultural landscapes in the Mediterranean.
