TOPOGRAPHY OF
POLIMUÊ
surroundings.·1 The entry of collected data boils
down to drawing coordinates (x, y, z) from detailed
situational plans onto the available background.
Every individual site or structure has been ac¬
companied with surveying documentation and
presented with a suitable, easily read scale, with¬
out local cadastre background, followed with con¬
cise necessary technical description, specifying
sources or data if the monument has been men¬
tioned before.4 For easier orientation in space,
the position of the site was first entered in an easy
to survey map with the scale
1: 20 000,
produced
by technical scaling up of the map with the scale
1:25 000,
with a wider surroundings. Several sites
were marked on some well laid-out maps in order
to reduce the number of appendices. This method
of documentation streamlined the crafting of doc-
umentation for multilayered sites or structures
with vertical stratigraphy, cave habitations5 or the
remains of mining works.
The programme for the documentation of
archeological sites will cover certain mining loca¬
tions frequent in these parts. Toponyms such as
Rudina, Rudište, Rudna Glava,
scattered across
the territory from the
Čadinjsko Brdo
to the valley
of the rivers Poblac enica and
Krajčinović,
which
are marked on the map with the scale of
1:25 000
due to the large area they cover. Plans exist for the
documentation of mining works of primary impor¬
tance, known under the local name
Grčki Bunari.
Documentation of prehistoric mounds, with¬
out detailed chronological dating, will enrich the
old, or create a new picture of the prehistoric peri¬
od of the area, and give insight into the prehistory
of southwestern Serbia. Estimates on the number
of mounds in Polimlje range from several tens to
several hundred; it is quite probable that there are
over one thousand of them.
Documentation of fortifications, such as the
one at
Ostřik
will supply the reliable data on sizes,
shapes, forms or heights and other characteristics
significant for the comprehensive study of fortifi¬
cations, before or without archeological excava¬
tions. Characteristic technical elevations nave
been provided, sometimes only in summary, pro¬
viding better insight into the whole. The question
remains of the symbols and technical presentation
of certain details, for example scattered stones,
milestones, remains of walls or dug in structures
discernible in the field at the level
óf
most often
showed equidistance of
20
cm.
At the monuments at which architectural re¬
mains have been preserved, such as the fortification
of
Mileševac,
Kovin,
Jagat
and Sjeverin, in addition
to basic surveying background, in the follow up of
the project photogrametric investigation of their
parts or the whole structures will be performed so
that each monument could be presented.
Unfortunately, due to technical drawbacks, aerial
and panoramic photographs have not been made.
Available aerial photographs with the scale
1:10
000
have not been presented since the level of visi¬
ble data on them does not meet the needs of con¬
temporary study, apart from clearly discernible and
readily recognizable routes of ancient roads.
Due to its size and wealth of information, as
well as our desire for it to remain with the same,
reliable scale, the outer city in Kuljane under the
fortification at
Oštrik
is being recorded continu¬
ously and presented in sheets, according to the
given scheme.
Topographic surveying of medieval or late me¬
dieval graveyards raised the question of the level
and amount of data that need to be collected. For
example, for a survey stone peg in the soil: should
the foot or the top of the standing stone be consid¬
ered as the level, should only visible parts of the
grave stone be marked, with, or without the recon¬
struction of the actual size and form, or, how to
numerically mark the altitudes of the foot and the
top of the headstone in the small area so that num¬
bers do not overlap.
After years of surveying, technical and photo
documentation, it is our aim to create a clearly
laid-out archeological map with reliable analytic
data, which, in addition to swift and easy orienta¬
tion and identification of structures in the field,
will also allow for the determination of the condi¬
tion of individual structures, such as whether they
are demolished, damaged or displaced, for exam¬
ple in cases of landslides, as is the case of the
church with the cemetery in
Donja Drenova.
A re¬
liable data base would be created in the Institute
for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of
Serbia on the cultural heritage of Serbian Polimlje.

mentation of most archeological sites and architec¬
tural monuments, both sacral and profane, as well

at the foot of the
Oštrik,
to the central
part of the walled city. The question remains of
the relationship of the fortification at
Oštrik
with the newly found remains of the outer city on
the site in Kuljani. The two sites are connected
with a clearly defined road, whose remains are
still visible. The number of defined toponyms in¬
dicates a well developed urbane matrix of a me¬
dieval city. Future explorations will provide us
with the answer.
10.
The site
Crkvine,
the village of
Rutoši,
the
Municipality of Nova
Varoš
(Fig.
28-30,
Maps
17,
24).
On the slope above the left bank of the river
Rutoši
stand two rocky protrusions, mostly cov¬
ered with earth, one of which is bare in places.
They allow access only from the south side, across
a flat plateau from the hill. On the eastern rise,
which is larger and higher, lies a medieval ceme¬
tery, stretching across a partially flat plateau and
a portion of the slope. To the east of the hill is a
moderate-sized marshy valley along which the
traces can be observed of a village settlement,
mostly extending towards the northeastern hill. In
several places there are the remains of houses dug
into the hill, with a narrow path cut into the slope
leading to the cemetery. The whole area of the
settlement is covered with grass or overgrown
with bushes; there are no visible surface archeo-
logical finds. To the north of these two rises, the
slopes are still mostly marshy from the waters of
the spring
Zvečan,
which does not form the river
bed in this part of its course. The medieval (as
well as the present day) road run from the hill,
from the
Oštrik
and the walled city, along the left
bank of the marshy part, towards the cemetery,
sharply turning around the lower hill, sloped
down to the
riverbank
and to the other side at the
only crossable point in the flat portion of the
riverbed, towards the main road.
11.
The site
Šćepovića Polje,
the village of
Kratovo, the Municipality of
Priboj
(Fig.
31-32,
Maps
17, 25-27).
In the central portion of the
Kratovo valley, where the route of both the pres¬
ent day, and the antique and medieval road parts
from the river and where, a little to the north the
terrain turns into an undulating field in parts in¬
tersected with short gullies filled with water, and a
large number of weak springs. Seemingly at ran¬
dom, several well preserved prehistoric mounds
are scattered across gentle slopes, blending into
the surroundings. A little to the north, by a
stronger spring, the remains of a prehistoric settle¬
ment stretch across a large area. Most mounds are
gently elongated towards the hill and the north,
thus forming a sort of an access ramp, while their
lower side is far steeper.
12.
Suvo Polje,
the Municipality of
Priboj
(Fig.
33-34,
Maps
17, 28).
At the lowest, narrow
end of the Kratovo basin which slopes up the sad¬
dle
Karaula
towards the monastery of
Banja,
lies a
narrow plateau
offertile
land called Suvo
Polje.
The southern side of the Suvo
Polje
slopes down
towards the
Lim,
while the north edge rises steeply
and becomes the Banja s Hill. On the southern
side of the Banja s Hill is a moderate-sized ter¬
race, the site area of
Gračanica
with a series of
mining shafts, locally known as
Grčki Bunari.
In
the central part of Suvo
Polje,
directly above the
slope towards the
Lim,
and along the route of the
present day, and probably the medieval road,
stands a medieval graveyard of a somewhat elon¬
gated shape. The eastern side of the graveyard is
clearly delineated from the surroundings which
became lower due to erosion and farming. The
graveyard consists of grave markers laid horizon¬
tally, and mostly sunk into the ground. Some of
them are cut along the longer edge and inscribed
with a cross. The graveyard is datable to the
Middle Ages. Today the total of
104
gravestones is
discernible. About
300
meters to the southwest of
the cemetery several Late Roman coins were
found. Judging by occasional fragmented pottery
finds, a medieval settlement stood directly along
the slope of the Banja s Hill. On the slope under
the hill are visible the remains of the road which
used to lead from Potpec on the
Lim,
at the point
of the river crossing, towards the site of
Karaula
and the monastery
Banja.
13.
The Monastery of St Nicholas,
Banja
near
Priboj,
the Municipalityof
Priboj
(Fig.
35-37,

29-30).
The monastery
Banja
rises on an elevated
plateau above the
Lim
valley, sheltered from the
east by a precipitous cliff of the Banja s Hill, at the
foot of which spring up copious hot and cold medic¬
inal waters which formed the terraces from
tuffa
lay¬
ers on which the monasteiy was built. Earlier, hot
springs flew towards the
Lim,
cutting into the
ground or flooding over the terraces creating
ponds.2 4 Later they were regulated to flow outside
the walled monastery, at an angle towards the west,
so that they joined into a single water course on
which monastery mills were built. Three roads led to
the monastery: from the south, from the east and
from the northwest. From the
Lim
valley, the hill
and the monastery could be accessed from the
south, up a gentle slope of the present day
