Summary/Abstract: The Vlaška Peć Cave, about 10 km north of Senj, is a small cave, almost entirely lit by daylight. Besides speleological research, paleontological and archaeological investigations have also been conducted, which have established that cave bears lived there and that humans also lived in it during the Bronze and Iron Ages. Ante Glavičič carried out the first archaeological reconnaissance of Vlaška Peć (in 1969), when he tried to figure out the strange inscriptions in and near the cave and he also wrote about them in 1982. The author has investigated the cave since 1989, when he began to cooperate with Ante Glavičić, and he wrote about the mysterious signs in1992. In 1996 the author visited Vlaška Peć with Ante and Miroslav Glavičić, who in the abandoned test holes of previous investigators, looked for and found pieces of ceramics. Several photographs from that trip will bring back memories of the versatile Prof. Ante Glavičić, the history of Senj and its surroundings.
