Sažetak
The islands of Droenik and Ploče, with their adjacent islets, make the main part of the Trogir archipelago. In the year 2000, the Croatian Archaeological Monuments Museum organised systematic recognitions, lasting nine days. In spite ofthe thick underbrush and impassability ofsome parts ofthe islands, the most part ofthe territory and all important locations have been examined, wherefore the archaeological map of these islands can be deemed well made.
In all established epoques, there is evident relative scarceness of both quality and quantity of the finds. It is obvious that these were small settlements, short of natural resources. Another, even more interesting, result are the often and longer breaks in population. Namely, after the bronze age, there are no traces of the iron age, when settlements obviously concentrate at the mainland. The early Roman epoque is well represented, but from as soon as the late classical period till the late middle ages there are no permanent settlements, and the 151h and the 161h century migration ofthe peoples -suroived till present days -was firstly caused by Ottoman conquests and war dangers, rather than a spontaneous economic development or a demographic expansion. In the periods of the lack of population, the Droenik islands were, most probably, vacant and with no permanent settlements, used as additional reseroes of natural resources (wood, pasture, fishing) only, as shown by the 13th century sources.
