摘要:The author publishes a new hillfort site on the eastern side of the island of Hvar and compares the topography to the south-west side of the island, where there are caves in the immediate vicinity of hillforts and tumuli. He underscores the toponyms of prehistoric sites preserved on the island and their natural environment to which humans in the Neolithic era adapted. By establishing hillforts at strategic positions during the metal ages, and particularly during the Iron Age, the indigenes adapted the environment to themselves. An example is the large and sturdy hillfort at the site of the town of Hvar, at which graves with rich goods from the earlier Iron Age were discovered nearby.
