Sažetak
The Stari Grad Plain is an active rural landscape,
where basic geometric structure, set in the 4th century
BC by the Greek land division, has been respected
over millennia of its continuous use. Precisely because
of this best preserved Greek chora (within which 90
individual archaeological sites, as well as numerous
ethnographic heritage remains, have thus far been discovered)
and the unaltered use of this area, the Plain
is scheduled national monument and also inscribed on
the UNESCO World Heritage List. This paper proposes the methodological framework
for the valorization of individual archaeological
sites inside the protected area of the Stari Grad Plain.
At its first level, it describes a method of processing
existing data about the sites and subsequent fieldwork
which provided an insight into the current state of
the heritage. At its second level, paper presents the
results of a retrograde analysis which was used to detect
the time and manner of the onset of changes at
valuable sites over a longer period, which facilitated a
re-assessment of their condition. Defining the causes
of changes and evaluating the readiness to deal with
them paves the way for an assessment of the success
of heritage protection policies.
The results of an analysis of the condition of the
archaeological heritage inside the Stari Grad Plain’s
protected zone, as well as the landscape as a whole,
indicate the need for urgent intervention, in which
cooperation between institutions for the protection of
monuments from the national down to the local level
is essential.
