Research within the “Archaeological topography of the Island of Rab” project at Lopar in 2018: new data on Prehistoric and late Antique sites

Sa？etak The latest research campaigns within the project Archaeological Topography of the Island of Rab have included a series of interdisciplinary methods facilitating the identification and documentation of the determined sites, locations, and their surroundings. Also, test trenches have been made on certain sites since 2016 to verify the data and obtain a clearer chronology. On the basis of this methodology, sites on Lopar peninsula have been researched in the 2018 campaign too. The works included test trenches and geoarchaeological research in Pod？ilo bay, geophysical measurements on cape Ka？telina, and a survey of the wider areas of cape ？ilo and Dubac cove. The results are still preliminary, but they already point to a complex use of Pod？ilo bay in late antiquity, while possible remains of Iron Age settlement architecture have been recorded on cape Ka？telina
