| Popis: | U sklopu projekta „Mapiranje, dokumentiranje i pregled arheoloških lokaliteta otoka Šćedra“, provedenoga u ljeto 2018. i 2019. godine, otkriven je izrazito veliki broj kamenih gomila na otoku Šćedru koje nisu bile ustanovljene u dosadašnjim stručnim i amaterskim arheološkim istraživanjima otoka. Terenskim su pregledom i zračnim istraživanjem, pored suvremenih suhozida, dokumentirane kružne, ovalne i izdužene rasute kamene gomile. Na osnovi pregleda satelitskih snimki Državne geodetske uprave iz 1968. i novih zračnih snimki, uočava se utjecaj vegetacije na (smanjenu) vidljivost takvih tvorevina iz zraka. Proučavanjem posebice kružnih gomila utvrđeno je postojanje obrazaca pri odabiru kamenoga materijala i položaja za njihovo podizanje. Temeljem njihovih karakteristika, smještaja u krajoliku i već istraženih sličnih struktura toga prostora, pretpostavljamo da su arheološkoga karaktera, i to prapovijesni grobni humci, što vjerojatno ukazuje na izrazitiji intenzitet korištenja otoka u prošlosti. Ipak, kao bi se potvrdio i jasno definirao karakter gomila, kao i kronološko određenje svake, trebaju se provesti stručna arheološka iskopavanja. Within the project ‘Mapping, Documenting, and Surveying the Archaeological Sites on the Island of Šćedro’, conducted in the summers of 2018 and 2019, many stone mounds were discovered on the island of Šćedro that had not been recorded in previous expert and amateur archaeological research. The field survey and remote (aerial) sensing documented circular, oval, and elongated bulk cairns, in addition to modern dry-stone walls. A review of satellite images from the State Geodetic Administration from 1968 and new aerial records observed the influence of vegetation on the (reduced) visibility of the archaeological formations from the air. In particular, the study of the circular cairns identified patterns in the selection of stone material and the position for their erection. Based on their characteristics, their location in the landscape, and similar structures already researched in the region, we assume that they are of an archaeological character, probably prehistoric burial mounds, whose presence on the island of Šćedro may indicate a marked intensity of use of the island in the past. However, the character and time of construction of each mound should be confirmed and clearly defined by expert archaeological excavations. |
