Abstract

Istria is well-known for numerous hillfort settlements that have been
built there since the beginning of the Early Bronze Age around 2000
BC. More than 400 are known, but fewer than a dozen have been
researched. Therefore for most of them exact dating and assignment
to different periods of occupation is uncertain and research on the
development of hillforts and settlement systems in the Bronze and Iron
Ages are difficult. Furthermore many of the settlements are endangered by agricultural or construction activities. To bring the Istrian hillfort settlements more into the focus of the research, an international team started a Korean-Croatian joint project in 20161 with excavations on the hillfort of Monbrodo south of the Cisterna Bay near Rovinj.
