The introduction of airborne laser scanning (ALS) technology in the Mediterranean region over the pastdecade has significantly increased opportunities for archaeological research. Archaeological remotesensing has proven to be a versatile tool with numerous applications beyond simple site mapping. Oneapproach is the large-scale interpretation of ALS data, which allows for the analysis of the stratigraphicinformation contained within the data. This is particularly useful for analysing the rich remains of past landuse in the karst landscapes of coastal Croatia.The Roman dry stone walls of the Kvarner islands of Krk and Cres serve as an example. These structuresoutline the framework backbone of Roman surveying; however, due to their poor state of preservation,many remains can only be identified through ALS data rather than aerial photography. An absolute chronologyfor these features was established using the OSL profiling and dating method (OSL-PD), providinga date range of AD 200 ± 100. These results can be considered the first clear evidence of surveying municipallands on the Croatian islands.
