Beyond the Horizon: A Glimpse into the Evolution of the Landscape in the Northern Part of Rab Island over the Last Two Millennia BCE
Abstract
This study analyses monumental Bronze Age and Iron Age sites – hillforts and tumuli – identified in the northern part of the island of Rab. The main objective of this paper is to thoroughly examine, reassess, and analyse the existing data along with the findings from recent interdisciplinary approaches to the area. The identified prehistoric monumental structures, dating to the regional Bronze and Iron Ages, are examined within the contemporary geographical contexts, scrutinizing the characteristics of their landscape placements. By exploring various aspects, an effort is made to understand why particular locations were chosen for their establishment. This is facilitated by the integration of a series of Geographic Information System (GIS) analyses to explore the relationships between movement, visibility, proximity, and interconnectedness. It clarifies how these factors come together to create a unique 'sense of place' in the topographical environment of the northern region of Rab Island.
