At the present state of research, a total of 35 Neolithic sites have been known in this region, 26 of which belong to the Early Neolithic. Observing the type and character of the early Neolithic sites, their micro-topographic features, proximity and availability of resources, organization of life in relation to environment requirements, continuity of life at a particular location, and economic strategies, we come to the conclusion that the early Neolithic settlement patterns in northern Dalmatia were determined by natural landscape and its resources. They are the postulate and basis for the development of different aspects of social life and economy, as well as the starting point for the interpretation of the character and dynamics of the development of the early Neolithic communities in this area. The site locations, stratigraphic relations, and radiocarbon dating also suggest movements of the early Neolithic communities. The movements seem to have taken place exclusively within the fields. Discussion whether it was one or several simultaneous communities/settlements remains limited, since the state of research does not allow precise attribution of the site to certain chronological segments of the Early Neolithic.

Navode se primjeri različitih tehnika eksploatacije koji ostavljaju tragove alata na preostalim dijelovima stijenske mase. Tragovi na liticama kamenoloma govore o kontinuiranom korištenju ovih kamenoloma više od dva tisućljeća, a dokazana je i gradnja antičkog foruma u Zadru upravo s kamenom koji je vađen na padinama brda Sv.Ilija. THE QUARRIES OF SVETI ILIJA The author discusses the problem of exploitation of highquality architectural limestone from the slopes of the hill of Sveti Ilija. The stonemasonry complex has been functioning continuously for the last two thousand years. This site shows different techniques of extracting stone blocks, and it is often possible to notice different systems of extraction which sometimes overlap with older traces. High-quality limestone from the slopes of Sveti Ilija was exported all over the world during the modern period. There is also proof that it was traded in antiquity too since the most important architectural elements of Zadar’s forum were made precisely from this stone. The quarries on the slopes of Sveti Ilija represent an immense value in the cultural landscape of Trogir’s hinterland and it is therefore extremely important to preserve them for the next generations

The pottery was found at the Early-Neolithic site located in the immediate vicinity of the St. John’s Church, at the present-day cemetery in Konjevrate. The excavation campaigns of 1988-1990 and 1998 were led by M. Menđušić. The ceramic material belongs to the typical repertoire of the Impressed Ware culture. It is stored in the Šibenik City Museum. Based on the stylistic and typological analyses and radiocarbon dating, it can be attributed to the very beginning of the Early Neolithic of the Eastern Adriatic.

The collected archaeological material is important in the context of further study of the character and dynamics of the development of the Neolithic community of the eastern Adriatic, particularly at the transition from the Early to the Middle Neolithic. Along with stylistic and typological similarities of the two cultures in question, special emphasis is placed on individual pottery and decorative objects that complement the cultural image of the eastern Adriatic Neolithic.

Only eight examples, discovered in the northern and central Dalmatia region (hinterland of Zadar and πibenik), at open-air Neolithic sites known to date to the Middle and Late Neolithic. Based on current research and in accordance with the available archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological data from Neolithic sites in the eastern Adriatic region, this paper poses a question about the connection of ceramic spoons with the dietary habits of Neolithic communities in the eastern Adriatic.

The site consists of Late Antique and Neolithic horizons. The latter, to which this work is dedicated, has been ascribed to the Impressed Ware culture. The complex stratigraphic Neolithic segment of the cultural deposits dated by radiocarbon analysis highlight the archaeological potential and importance of studying and supplementing the picture of the Neolithic in the Eastern Adriatic seaboard, as well as the need for more systematic archaeological excavations of the site and the need for an interdisciplinary approach to research.

In that area, a total of 29 Neolithic sites are known today. Microlocational analysis shows that they are located close to water, pastures, forests, fertile Quaternary sediments with related arable plots and clay deposits. In order to create a complete picture of perception, categorization and exploitation of the economic potential at Ravni kotari in Neolithic period, and to determine possible locations of still undiscovered settlements, all currently known Neolithic sites in Ravni Kotari area were recorded as points in GIS software ArcMap. Based on the spatial distribution currently known sites, type of geological sediments, basic geomorphological features of the region and availability of water, we suggest 41new possible Neolithic sites.
