Summary/Abstract: The research of cultural anthropologists in the cultural landscape in Croatia and Slovenia has drawn attention of art historians who have also discovered the landscape as a very complex and sophisticated form of visual art. This article presents the views of an art historian on the analysis of the cultural landscape, and the importance of anthropological information in that process. On the basis of the above, author proposes some preliminary steps which might help clarify some aspects of the Pre-Romanesque art in Croatia.
