The integrity of the finds and good research documentation make it possible to position the site in a wider context of other finds dating from the same period in the area of Slavonia, Syrmia and Transdanubian region. The anthropological analysis of the osteological remains and radiocarbon dating of charcoal from the urn allow an interpretation of the burial customs and absolute chronology of the Vinkovci Culture.

A high density of these sites is found in the northern part of the Đakovo plain, north of the town of Đakovo in the Osijek-Baranja county (Fig. 1). The sites are in various stages of investigation. At the sites of Gorjani–Topole and Gorjani–Kremenjača, Preslatinci–Ugljara, and Tomašanci–Dubrava i Gradina, aerial imagery was studied to observe structures (Šiljeg & Kalafatić, 2016; Kalafatić & Šiljeg, 2018); a circular enclosure was identified at Gorjani–Topole (Fig. 2). Ground surveys were carried out in order to establish chronology and a large-scale magnetic prospection was conducted with a multi-probe fluxgate gradiometer. The results of earlier research, as well as the newly observed features at selected sites were reevaluated, and new patterns were identified using an integrative approach.

the area around the well-known Roman fort with the Croatian part of the Danube
limes, Dragojlov brijeg, in Baranja. Until now, Roman enclosures had not been detected
through aerial surveys of this region. New surveillance has revealed a fort, road
and several extramural enclosures in the surrounding area of the fort. The pottery
found during the field survey of the extramural enclosure dates it to between 2nd and
beginning 4th c. AD.

The sites are in various stages of investigation – from aerial remote sensing and reconnaissance, to archaeological excavation and the application of the magnetic survey. It has been established through recent research that the sites of the Sopot culture are of a much larger scale and of a much more complex structure than previously thought, and it is proposed to re-evaluate the current interpretations. All settlements are enclosed by one or more ditches, except for the Đakovo – Grabrovac/Ciglana settlement for which it is not possible to determine whether it had a ditch, since most of the site was removed by the activities of the brickworks during the 20th century. The fndings from eight settlements were analysed typologically and chronologically in the context of other sites of Sopot culture in Slavonia.

Excavations conducted over the last several years have confirmed the existence of thus far unrecorded methods for the formation and organization of such settlements in eastern Croatia – twin settlements. This new type of settlement was ascertained by means of remote sensing from aircraft and by means of drones, in combination with a series of satellite and aerial vertical photographs,
while the results of field surveys of the sites so discovered have confirmed that they were generally multi-layered, long-term and attributed to the Sopot culture, so that they may be generally dated to the 5th millennium BC.

Satellite imagery and Internet geographic services, such as Google Earth, Bing maps, Croatian Internet geodetic and agricultural map services, were also extensively used in this research. Spatial analysis of aerial images was combined with Internet historical map and image. A valuable resource is also the digitalized vertical images originated before 1968, available since 2015 (Produced by Military Geographical Institute, Belgrade). Sites were selected according to the results of the above mentioned analysis, to conduct of aircraft photographic surveys in 2013 to 2016. UAVs have been used to record target areas and sites, which significantly increased the number of newly discovered sites. The satellite imagery and aerial photography data were compared with results of the systematic field survey. Consequently, more than 200 (new 50 in 2016) archaeological sites were identified throughout the area.

That was supported by a number of excavated and published cemeteries and lack of settlement research in Slavonian and Bosnian Posavina was present at that time. The first material from settlement of Barice-Gređani group was partially published in late 1980s. A numerous new settlements and cemeteries of Urnfield Culture were discovered and excavated in last 30 years due to intensive building of
infrastructure, organising museum networks and monument protection system. In that light it is now possible to reinterpret older finds and make more complex contextualisation of Barice-Gređani group burial ritual. Three bone beads found in burial 16 belong to rare finds in the cemeteries of Barice-Gređani group. Only two cemeteries except Mačkovac from area that covers group Barice-Gređani have similar worked bone finds. Bone objects are exposed to funeral pyre together
with deceased in all excavated contexts.

Computed tomography (CT) as a paleoradiological tool in studies of ancient cremation urns is described only in few articles. Clinical magnetic resonance (MR) has never been used in studying ancient cremation remains. We report the use of ultrashort echo time (UTE) MR sequence to three cremation urns from the Bronze age from Croatia. MR overcame the problem of the similar densities between soil and bones on the CT and clearly showed superior contrast resolution.

which in long term eventually grow into settlement mounds, tells. Our modern perception, which is developed from some
of extraordinary examples of settlement mounds dominating the landscape, is only partly accurate since only some tells
reached a significant height, and they are usually part of the complex settlement structure which surrounds them. Much
more stays hidden in landscape and this presentation aims to investigate changing perceptions on Neolithic landscapes
in eastern Croatia and to reconsider the dynamics of human-environment interactions. It will also explore possibilities
of landscape reconstructions by mapping the specific Neolithic settlements through aerial remote sensing approaches.

UAVs have been used since 2015 to record target areas and sites, which significantly increased the number of newly discovered sites. The satellite imagery and aerial photography data were compared with results of the systematic field survey. Consequently, more than 150 archaeological sites were identified throughout the area. The combination of all described methods provided a completely new insight on land occupation, settlement patterns and subsistence strategy in prehistoric, Roman and medieval period. Already known sites could be viewed more accurately for the first time, in their entirety and within their landscape. The majority of discovered sites can be attributed to Neolithic Sopot culture from the 5th millennium BC and to the late Medieval period. An interesting observed phenomenon is the reoccupation of Neolithic circle enclosures in the late medieval period. Besides new discoveries, it has to be emphasised that survey has shown a surprisingly dynamic change of the landscape from the 18th century until today that is important both for cultural heritage management and for landscape development strategies.

It will also explore possibilities of landscape reconstructions by mapping the specific Neolithic settlements through aerial remote sensing approaches. Detailed analysis of satellite imagery and aerial photography will provide data of strategic use of landscape during Sopot culture of the late Neolithic on “twin” enclosures which are situated in Slavonia region of eastern Croatia. The enclosures are approximately 150-200 meters in diameter and are situated in close vicinity. The poster will focus in first results of the analysis of satellite imagery and aerial photography, also showing achieved results during the low altitude aerial survey. The satellite imagery and aerial photography data were analyzed to examine any kind of correlation between environmental, archaeological and aerial images data and the results were compared with the results of the field survey that was conducted on Neolithic „twin“ enclosures.

However, due to limited archaeobotanical research in the region questions on how agriculture developed in the face of these socio-economic changes is less clear. In Croatia, archaeobotanical evidence has begun to suggest that this period saw a shift in the main crops cultivated by the late Bronze Age, with a particular preference for broomcorn millet and broad bean. The archaeobotanical data from Croatia is presented here to explore why broomcorn and foxtail millet and broad bean may have become a popular choice at this time.

Due to its large biodiversity, the central part of Petrova Gora was protected as an important landscape in 1969. Cultural and historical sights (Pauline monastery of St. Peter, Vojin Bakić’s Monument to the Revolution, etc.), as well as recreational and education facilities (mountain trails of Petrova Gora, ornithological park Petrovac, etc.) are integrated within the Petrova Gora Tourist Centre, with headquarters in the Muljava hunting lodge. Petrovac, Petrova Gora’s highest peak, is a spacious forested plateau with two slightly pronounced heads of similar altitude (Veliki and Mali Petrovac). Long continuity of settlement at Mali Petrovac is confirmed by archaeological research that uncovered prehistoric (12th to 9th/8th century BCE) and Roman (1st to 4th century CE) finds. The top plateau was inhabited during the early medieval period. In the 14th century, Pauline monastery of St. Peter was built on Mali Petrovac. During the second half of the 16th century the monastery was converted into a military facility, while, at the end of the 18th century, it was repurposed into an Orthodox temple. Remains of the monastery, now in Sisak- Moslavina County (Economic Unit Petrova Gora, Forest Office Vojnić, Forest Menagement Subsidiary Karlovac, Croatian Forests), are protected as a cultural good (Z-3260).
