Istrian Archeology app for iPhone and iPad

Materialni ostanki civilizacij, ki so se v preteklosti menjavale na istrskih tleh, tu in tam še vedno prihajajo na plan, včasih pričakovano in včasih nenadoma izpod plasti zemlje. Tradicija arheologije v Istri traja več kot eno stoletje. Arheologi so pogostokrat raziskovali zaradi znanstvenih razlogov, hkrati pa preprečevali trajno uničenje dediščine zaradi gradnje cest ali stavb. Številne najdbe prihajajo na plan tudi slučajno, kot posledica izkopavanj za gradbena dela in tudi pri obdelavi kmetijskega zemljišča. Praviloma vse, kar ima zgodovinsko vrednost in je izkopano iz zemlje, konča v muzejih. ////// The material remains of civilisations that existed on the Istrian Peninsula through centuries occasionally come to light, sometimes expectedly and sometimes unexpectedly, under thick layers of earth. The tradition of archaeology in Istria is more than a century long. Archaeologists often do research for scientific reasons, but also to protect heritage from the permanent destruction that inevitably occurs when constructing a new building or traffic vein. However, many archaeological finds have been discovered as a consequence of cultivating land or during construction works. As a rule, every find that has historical value ends up in a museum.
