The knowledge of prehistoric and ancient sites in the high-altitude Montenegrin landscape is fairly limited, and there is no comprehensive overview in the modern literature. Nevertheless, there are many remains of prehistoric activity in the mountains and caves, for example, around Cetinje (mountain Lovćen, cave Koronjina), Crvena Stijena near Petrovići, Nikšić (perhaps the most significant prehistoric archaeological site in Montenegro), and prehistoric petroglyphs at Prokletije. Another common form of archaeological site in Montenegrin mountains and widespread in the entire Balkan area are tumuli (characteristic tombstones built by forming an earthen or stone mound above one or more tombs) occurring in the Neolithic, and as the dominant burial form of the Bronze and Iron Age, they lasted until Roman domination of the Balkans. An important ancient Roman settlement is Municipium S, Komini near Pljevlja, at approximately 780 m above sea level. It was a prosperous inland town in the Roman province of Dalmatia, with distinguished magistrates, notable trade, and diverse religious beliefs. Other Illyrian and Roman settlements, hillforts, military camps, and villas are dispersed in the mountainous area in the north of Montenegro. Many sites are still to be thoroughly researched. This would be an opportunity to observe the creation of settlements in high-altitude zones and the initial dispersal of this cultural development.
