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.
A series of 51 papers forming the Proceedings of the 28th CAA
Conference held at Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2000 focusing on computer
applications and quantative methods in European and American
archaeology. The papers, which are all in English, are divided into
eight sections: Documentation and recording of sites and field
survey data; Artefact analysis and classification; National and
regional SMR; Intra site spatial analysis; Archaeological regional
spatial analysis and predictive modelling; Future trends in spatial
analyses; Presentation of archaeological data; Public access to
archaeological heritage.
Volume 1 of the Adriatic Islands Project, The Archaeological
Heritage of Hvar, paved the way for this survey of the island of
Brac, undertaken from 1994-1996. The authors discuss the previous
archaeological research carried out on Brac, the nature of the
island's geography, climate, soils, population trends and
agricultural economy, and ancient written sources. The majority of
the book is taken up by an extensive gazetteer of sites and
monuments, which more than doubled in size as the result of these
field campaigns. Though low on interpretation, this study achieves
its goal of promoting a better understanding of the archaeology of
the area and highlighting the need for further study and proper
heritage management.
