Abstract
In January 2007, records were taken of five archaeological sites from the prehistoric and medieval periods on plots on the planned route of the Vukovar bypass, over a length of 19 km. In May 2007, we gathered evidence on two archaeological sites from the prehistoric and medieval periods along the route of the eastern connecting road in Slavonski Brod, which has a projected length of 4 km. The sites are within registered archaeological zones B and E of the Slavonski Brod urban area. Following an archival inspection and field survey, the sites have been placed under preventive protection, and a study entitled “Cultural and Historical Heritage” has been compiled as part of the environmental impact study for the planned roads. The Study prescribes the conditions for construction of new roads in view of the need to preserve valuable cultural heritage sites from destruction. These conditions stipulate mandatory and continuous archaeological oversight during the removal of humus along the routes of the planned roads and rescue archaeological explorations at the protected zones.
