Abstract

Several Liburnian settlements on the islands (from the islands of Školj veliki in Pakoštane and Oštarija near Crvena luka to the islands of Garmenjak and Ričul in the Pašman Channel) are analyzed in this article, as well as few hill-fort settlements in the hinterland. Satellite images of the hill-forts and their surrounding areas are presented, and their distribution is used to mark old pre-Roman communications. Importance of island settlements is emphasized as places for control of naval route and trade. Primary intention of this article is to try to shed more light on Liburnian hill-fort settlements using satellite and aerial photos.
