Abstract

Paper presents part of the research project results focused on the Ižica floodplain and archaeological sites Maharski and Resnikov prekop in Ljubljana Marshes. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) imagery and radiocarbon dates of stratigraphic sequences from the Maharski prekop site and of a network of palaeochannels around the site clearly suggest that settlement was  located  in  the  floodplain,  next  to  the  active  rivers,  and  not in the lake.
