Flat Drystone Architecture in the Adriatic BasinJuvanec, Borut (Avtor) stonedrystonecorbellingwallwellice hutthreshing floorpastoral architectureAdriatic basincultural heritageThis article examines flat drystone architecture in the Adriatic basin, focusing on low constructions and spatial shelters as former elements of pastoral economy. It describes shelter construction through the false dome and corbelling, using unshaped, found, broken, or rarely dressed stone. The study analyses how stone type affects architectural form, comparing regular structures such as the Istrian kažun with underground casitas of the Trieste Karst. It identifies walls, wells, ice huts, threshing floors, and sheep-fold systems as key forms, interpreting their roles in ownership division, animal movement, grazing protection, water access, cereal threshing, ice storage, and cultural landscape formation.20262026-06-30 11:08:03Delo ni kategorizirano30627UDK: 009DOI: 10.19233/ASHS.2026.04slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
