TOMISLAV ZOJČESKI, EVA BUC

} RESULTS OF THE 2019 ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SURVEY The pilot archaeological field survey was conducted in April 2019. The Lowfields (Nizno Polje) location was surveyed, as well as a couple of locations in Winefields (Vinopolje), north-east of Ubli. First results include the discoveries of numerous sites from several time periods in different parts of the field: from the earliest evidence of human presence dating back to the Neolithic to the traces of a large Roman site with a visible architecture and numerous moveable finds on the southern slope of the elevation next to the Winefields. Lowfields will serve as an example of archaeologically surveyed space, the results of which allow us to start documenting and interpreting the evidence of human presence in the field due to the fact that a GIS database has been created for it and historical maps and photographs have been examined, illustrating the development of the field over the last few centuries. A long tradition of exploitation of the field is evident, and the discovery of new sites will allow us to register them and undertake
