Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the field research of the village of Prijanovici near Stupari, municipality of Kladanj, which was carried out in October 2023 with the aim of surveying archaeological sites and documenting cultural and historical assets. In addition to the previously known and registered localities, the field reconnaissance team recorded four new localities where there are material remains dated to the medieval and Ottoman periods. It is about three stecak necropolises, one of which is adjacent to an Ottoman cemetery, and a potential archaeological site called "Grkovik" where traces of a brick building were found. A significant number of recorded archaeological assets and interesting toponyms in Prijanovici and its surroundings, especially from the medieval period, points to the conclusion that this is an extremely old settlement that was inhabited for centuries. Since most of these monuments and material remains are today buried in the ground, forgotten or deliberately damaged, it is necessary to adequately research, protect and present them to the public in the future.
