An attempt at Reconnaissance of the Town of Pelagonia - Viktor Lilčić

This article presents a preliminary attempt to determine the locality of the ancient town of Pelagonia. Author finds that literary sources, epigraphic inscriptions and some archaelogical data limited the geographic area in which it could have been located to the northern part of Mariovo and the east corner of the Pelagonia plane. He points to the area between the villages Krushevica and Bonche, more precisely to the site of Visoka-Kave-Cucul, where his archaeological team discovered, in 2005, remains of an ancient town composed of an acropolis and a suburban area. Archaeological finds testify life continuity from the fourth century BC to the 13th century AD. The acropolis was separetely fortified in the fourth century BC. The wall was constructed of massive stone blocks, assembled in the combination of opus isodomum and pseudoisodomum.
