Nastanak lokaliteta tipa „Obrovac“: stratigrafsko vrednovanje stare hipoteze
Formation of the “OBROVAC” Type-Sites - The Stratigraphic Evaluation of an Old Hypothesis

Summary/Abstract: The Obrovac type-sites are most frequently preserved in the form of small hills surrounded by a wide ditch. According to the published data, they are present only in western Serbia. The first researchers assumed that prehistoric inhabitants covered the space inside the ditch with dug earth in order to protect the settlement from floods. Until now, this hypothesis could not be tested due to insufficient research. During the research of the site of Šanac-Izba in Lipolist in 2013, one of the goals of the research was to reevaluate the old hypothesis of the formation of the Obrovac type-sites. This was accomplished in two steps. Firstly, the creation of the hypothesis itself was reconstructed, and then, the stratigraphy of two sites, one of which was excavated almost four decades ago, and the other within a new project, was compared.
