Abstract

Limited archaeological excavations in the environs of the city of Pakrac began in the second half of the 20th century. They were intensified in the period preceding the construction of the Kutina–Dobrovac Main Pipeline and Daruvar–Lipik road. They became frequent in 2017 with the excavations of parts of the Stari grad fortification which have continued to the present day. Continuous field surveying that has been going on since 2020 has yielded numerous archaeological sites. This paper is focused on the characteristics of the fortification sites in the Bijela River Valley and in the northwestern part of the Pakrac Mountain extending to the area belonging to the City of Pakrac.
