The third volume in The Adriatic Islands Project, The work utilises, essentially, the same research methodologies developed for survey on Hvar and Brae. The continuing reliance of project staff on complex computer technologies to store and analyse the large project databases also remains, and the impact of the increasing sophistication of these technologies for display of data can be seen in this publication. This book, covering prehistory to medieval times, is divided into two parts, reflecting the diverse nature of the areas under study.

The first volume from the Adriatic Islands project comprises the results from a thorough survey and mapping of the Dalmatian island of Hvar in Croatia. The area has long played an important role on trade routes between Italy and Illyria and Greece. There is a great deal of Neolithic archaeology, Bronze and Iron age burial monuments and much Greco-Roman material. The bulk of this book is a gazetter of around 800 sites, each of them having been visited by members of the team. The entries include plans, descriptions and references.
