Abstract

This paper examines the early prehistoric archaeological sites located in flat terrain. Such sites are relatively unknown and less visible compared to numerous hillforts and mounds. They are made up of drywall structures with plain layouts and usually encompass large areas of karst terrain. Discovering their remains requires field work, but remote sensing is crucial for interpreting and understanding them. The sites with such remains are very important for gaining insight into the early prehistory. Further research is required to date these sites accurately and to establish their function.
