Popis: Within the scope of the project Between the Danube and the Mediterranean. Exploring the role of Roman military in the mobility of people and goods in Croatia during the Roman era (RoMiCRO) a systematic field survey was conducted on a part of the Danube Limes in Eastern Slavonia and Baranja in the period from 2015 to 2017. The field survey conducted in 2015 and 2016 was focused on the distribution of surface material with the aim of identifying traces of human activity in a wider spatial pattern and determining locations connected with the potential presence and the activity of the Roman military. During the 2017 campaign, the project objective was to use the collected material to test a hypothesis on the existence of structures related to the presence and the activity of the Roman military on two locations in the Popovac municipality area (Pogan and Vakub). The intention was to determine the type, dimensions, dates, and spatial relations of the two archaeological sites already familiar to the professional literature, one of which is insufficiently archeologically argued. This paper represents the results of the field survey of the positions Pogan and Vakub. The results have shown that archaeological surface survey, as one of the basic methods of archaeological prospection, is a very efficient method for the study of archaeological record within a landscape, and is one of the main ways for collecting archaeological data in a wider spatial pattern.
