THE EARLY BYZANTINE FORTIFICATION GRADINA-LISINA,
ON THE WEST KOPAONIK
Summary
The Gradina-Lisina site is located on the west side of the Kopaonik mountain, in the municipality of Raka, from where there is a spectacular view toward
the west, and Kozija glava, Tiode and part of the Radoia village could be controlled. The view also extends to the important communication line toward what
is today Kosovo, as well as the site Gradina in Donja Rudnica, around 4.5 km away.
The fortress is in the shape of an irregular triangle, with the approximate orientation NE-SW. It is narrowest around the entrance, and widest on the
west side, where the terrain is inaccessible due to a steep ravine. There were
no remnants of towers, but the impression is that there might have been one
near the entrance. Trench-like smaller depression before the entrance points to
the existence of a dry trench by the entrance. Bulwarks, preserved only in several rows of stones, were founded on live rock and built of crushed stone in irregular layers. Whitish limestone mortar was used as sorder.
Archaeological research was done with just three stratigraphic probes.
Early Byzantine pottery from the 6th and early 7th centuries AD is accompanied with rare metal finds: a ring, half of the horseshoe for cattle, and several
pieces of slag. The only coin found is a piece coined in Viminacium during the
3rd century AD. The metal slag points that mining was an important part of the
economic activity of the inhabitants of this fortification. Besides the preserved
toponymy, this is also confirmed by the Turkish defters related to the Brvenik
nahija, dated 1519, 1533, and 1548.
This Early Byzantine fort confirms general characteristics of contemporary
fortifications. It has a free basis, adjusted to the terrain configuration, and with
access from one side only. It is simply built, with the material available at the site,
and with simple constructing solutions, devoid of any unnecessary aesthetic details.
When Kopaonik becomes an important mining region, it probably influenced the development of a network of local roads, in order to exploit and
transport the ore. A number of Early Byzantine forts points to the importance
of the communication link through the valley of the Ibar river. From this link,
at the extension of the leg from Novi Pazar, there was a road through what is
today a village of ipaino, to Suvo Rudite, then crossing the ridge of
Kopaonik, and descending to the village of erekare, and then going through
Kurumlija and Prokuplje to Ni, where it hit the Constantinople Road. The
fact that todays direction originates from the Early Byzantine period , if not
earlier, is confirmed by the Gradina in Lisina, as well as the fortification in
erekare, where the mentioned communication link went.
