Abstract

A field survey conducted in the spring of 2009 encompassed the territory of the southern and western part of the Sotin village, suggesting possible southern and western borders of an Iron Age cemetery and of a civilian classical antiquity settlement. In the western part of Sotin, surface finds suggested the location of a Neolithic and Aeneolithic settlement, as well as the possible southern border of a Late Bronze Age cemetery, which – according to information provided by the local people, as well as surface finds – was located at the Fancage site. The field survey attempted at determining the microtopographic relationship between the settlements and cemeteries of populations which for millenniums lived in this strategic territory, and at completing the data gained in previous field surveys, rescue and trial excavations at the Sotin area (Ilkić 1999; Dorn 1976; Dizdar et al. 2009; Ložnjak Dizdar et al. 2009).
