RELIEF FEATURES OF LOWLAND AREAS AS INDICATORS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL POTENTIAL

Sa？etak This paper presents the use of the data obtained by terrestrial topographic survey in analysis and assessment of archaeological potential of lowland areas. The analysis is based on investigation of relief features of the site Kurilovec-Belin？？ica, which is located in the lowland area of Turopolje region. By comparison with the data acquired from terrestrial topographic survey carried out prior to archaeological excavations in the south part of the city of Osijek, it is presented how the obtained results can contribute to analysis and interpretation of the results of archaeological excavations. Based on the conclusions of the study, new guidelines are suggested for documenting archaeological sites which can expand the methodological approach of acquiring data before conducting archaeological excavations
