by mild bends. This part of the road is around ly paved. At the Dobra voda locality, two road
sections are completely cleaned with a length of
116.50 m. The first one is on the elevation, 52.90
m long with a slope angle of 9% to 16%. Its width
varies from 2.40 m to 2.90 m.
Embankment height goes from 24 cm to 75
cm. At the steepest section of the route, there is
a 7 cm high step whose purpose was probably to
decrease the steepness of the slope. Besides this
one, we also cleaned the section under the Dobra
voda spring, which is 64m long with an average
slope angle from 3% to 5%.9 On some parts of it,
it is completely preserved. The width of the road
ranges from 2.40 m to 3.60 m. The height of the
embankment varies from 1 m to 1.25 m.
Side parts of the road are paved with big,
rounded stone slabs, 34 cm to 90 cm long, 23 cm
to 50 cm wide and 10 cm to 17 cm high and with
an average weight of 60-70 kg. In the middle
part of the road, stones are built in dimensions
of 15 cm to 60 cm long, 10 cm to 35 cm wide,
and 4 cm to 12 cm high. Limestone stones10 are

in Bare, whose direction goes approximately Odžak-
Gradačac (Bojanovski 1984, 242).
