Gore opisani pristup implicira povezivanje ba-
štine u jedinstvenu cjelinu unutar koje se ja-
sno izdvajaju zasebna nalazišta organizirana u
manje cjeline. Svako je nalazište obrađeno na
način koji nudi posjetitelju mogućnost dalj-
njeg otkrivanja te nameće potrebu obilaska
ostalih lokacija ukoliko se želi kvalitetno sagle-
dati sveukupnost novaljske prošlosti. Manje
cjeline poput Novalje ili Caske funkcioniraju
samostalno do određene razine, nakon čega je
naglašena potreba njihovog međusobnog po-
vezivanja sve dok se ne dosegne razina čitavog
prostora.
Odlično očuvan antički vodovod u Novalji
predstavlja značajan simbol starine, tradicije
te visoke gospodarske i kulturne razine koju
je doseglo antičko naselje. Nakon mnogih sto-
ljeća Novalja ponovo doživljava veliki gospo-
darski i kulturni procvat čime stara simbolika
postaje još aktualnijom. Riječ je o kulturnom
dobru koje bi trebao upoznati svaki posjetitelj
Novalje. Stoga ono predstavlja odličnu pola-
zišnu točku za otkrivanje cjeline o kojoj je bilo
govora u prethodnom tekstu. Svakako pri-
vlačan i značajan u svojoj posebnosti, antički
vodovod dobiva na svojoj vrijednosti kad ga
uklopimo u priču o čitavom naselju i luci koji-
ma je stoljećima služio. Takva priča nužno nas
na sljedećoj razini odvodi u Novaljsko polje i
područje čitave antičke Kise, koje osim polja
uključuje i sve pripadajuće uvale.
Usmjerujući zanimanje posjetitelja prema
otkrivanju prapovijesnih korijena Kise u je-
dnom ili njezinog opstanka u kasnoantičko i
srednjovjekovno doba u drugom smjeru ot-
kriva se čitav prostor Luna, Zaglave i Barbata,
a koncentracija arheoloških nalazišta, njihov
položaj i raspored u prostoru nužno su vezani
The approach we had just described implies the
amalgamation of heritage in an integrated whole;
individual sites organized into smaller units would
be clearly differentiated within the whole. Every
site should be elaborated in a way that would offer
to a visitor a possibility of further discoveries and
impose upon him the urge to visit other locations
if he wants to comprehend the complexity of the
history of Novalja. Lesser complexes, such as No-
valja or Caska, would function independently to a
certain level, after which the need to interconnect
them until reaching the level of total area should
be emphasized.
Superiorly preserved Roman aqueduct in Novalja
represents an important symbol of the past, tradi-
tion, and the high economical and cultural level
achieved by the ancient settlement. After many
centuries Novalja again experiences a great eco-
nomic and cultural flourishing, which makes the
old symbolic even more current. We are talking
about an object of culture that every visitor of No-
valja should meet. Thus it represents a great start-
ing-point in discovering the entire whole we were
talking about in the preceding paragraph. Attrac-
tive and important for its uniqueness, the Roman
aqueduct gains in value when we incorporate it
into a complete story of the settlement and harbor,
which he served for centuries. This story inevitably
leads us on the next level to the Novalja field and
the whole territory of Roman Kisa that includes,
beside the field, all the adjacent coves.
By directing the interests of visitors towards dis-
covering the prehistoric roots of Kisa or its survival
in Late Antiquity and Middle Ages, the whole ter-
ritory of Lun, Zaglava and Barbat is opened to dis-
covery, while the concentration of archaeological
sites, their positions and spatial arrangement, are
necessarily connected to the character of landscape.
