Abstract

The Kosovo Institute for the Protection of Monuments-IKMM, as a work activity, has, among other things, field reconnaissance. Over a period of several years, the research was carried out in the north-eastern belt of Kosovo, or in the part of central Dardania, the part from which Emperor Justinian came, who left traces of comprehensive development. Our research territory was the region of Mitrovica, Shala e Bajgora, Llapi, Gallapi and up to Karadak (Montenegro) in the Gjilan region. This geographical area includes the settlements of the municipalities of: Artanë, Dardana, Gjilan,Lipjan, Mitrovica, Podujevë, Prishtina, Viti, Zubin Potok and Zveçan. In these regions, we have managed to identify traces of cultural heritage including cult objects such as; Church, Mosque, Tekke, Tyrbe, then residential objects such as: Tower, house, accompanying objects such as baskets, barns then mills etc. Among the important objects was also the identification of fortifications such as castles or forts, which in these regions are numerous because there were a large number of mines in these settlements and as a result of this, castles are undoubtedly objects that served for their protection. The large number of mines and castles reflects the great economic and social development in these regions. The material that we will present presents a number of these aforementioned objects as part of the general wealth of the region of former Dardania or the north-eastern belt of today's Kosovo.
