THE INVESTIGATION AND COMMUNICATION OF HERITAGE IN STARIGRAD

Predstavljeni su rezultati dosadašnjih arheoloških istraživanja na protopovijesnoj gradini sv. Trojice, nedaleko od Starigrada, te u njezinoj široj zoni koja obuhvaća i bizantinski kastrum. Premda rezultati sondažnih istraživanja i rekognosciranja, te skup nalaza upućuju na dug kontinuitet nastavanja tek će daljnja istraživanja reći više o karakteristikama gradinskog naselja i postojanju pretpostavljene nekropole te značaju i ulozi bizantinskog kastruma u podnožju gradine. Istaknut je i segment prezentacije i komunikacije lokalne baštine kroz integralni pristup, iniciran od Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu, uz ostvarene i planirane učinke. Lasersko snimanje iz zraka i izrada digitalnog modela krškog reljefa prepoznato je kao adekvatna metoda budućih istraživanja, s interdisciplinarnim potencijalom.The results are presented of the existing archaeological investigations at the protohistoric hillfort of Sveta Trojica (Holy Trinity), not far from Starigrad, and in its wider zone that also includes a Byzantine castrum. Although the results of sounding investigations and surveying, and a set of finds point to a long continuity of inhabitation, only further investigation will tell us more about the characteristics of the hillfort type settlement and the existence of a presumed necropolis plus the significance and role of the Byzantine castrum at the foot of the hillfort. Also highlighted is a section about the presentation and communication of the local heritage with an integral approach, initiated by the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, with the achieved and planned effects. Laser recording from the air and the making of a digital model of the karst relief is recognised as an adequate method for future investigations, with an interdisciplinary potential
