As part of a comprehensive archaeological survey of the area around the site of Glac in the north-west of Serbia, a detailed examination has been undertaken of the pattern of drainage and settlement location east of Roman Sirmium. The research question posed is whether there is any archaeological, geomorphological or hydrological evidence for the textual references to drainage and land reclamation works attributed to the emperor Probus. The role and function of the Kudos Canal and the Jarcina Channel are explored as a prelude to the later consideration of agricultural development and land subdivision during the late Roman period
