Lucica The 2001 survey detected prehistoric pottery from a number of locations in and around the actual harbor village of Lucica (Figure 5), mostly from garden terraces. The suspicion that the pottery had been transported to these locations together with earthen fill for the gardens proved to be right, as confirmed by interviews with a number of local inhabitants. Therefore, the objective of the sub-surface tests was to locate any primary contexts of archaeological material, as opposed to the secondary depositional contexts previously noted on the terraces. Five locations around Lucica were considered for sub-surface testing. Three locations (LAL1–3) were tested by small trenches (1 or 2 sq. m), one garden yard was surveyed for surface pottery samples (LAL4), while another site – a profile cut into the embankment of the asphalt access road leading to Lucica bay (LAL5) – was cleaned, documented, and probed. Though all the test trenches were dug down to sterile B-horizons, none produced in situ archaeological layers. Prehistoric finds (e.g. pottery, flint) were present, but always mixed with other materials in secondary deposits. This is probably due to erosion and geomorphologic processes on the slopes and terraces around Lucica, and to substantial reworking of the natural terrain by building activities and roadworks during the 19th and 20th centuries.
