Geophysical Surveys at Drenovac in 2012 and 2013

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the geophysical survey of the Neolithic site at Drenovac, near Para}in (Central Serbia), conducted in 2012 and 2013, and subsequent archaeological excavations carried out after the survey to test the survey results. The survey results have shown a very complex organisation of the settlement. Zones with a distinctive regular organisation and others where a completely different spatial organisation was applied can be clearly distinguished. The results of the archaeological excavations have demonstrated the advantages that the method of archaeological prospection can bring, but have also indicated that the data obtained from a geophysical survey should be taken with reservations.
