The purpose of this paper is review of known archaeological sites in Logaška kotlina. Review is in form of a catalog of 67 sites, which are described with key data: name, type, time, location and short description of the site and its current state. Some of the sites are also merged, for which I can assume to be the same site. It turned out that the human activity in basin is already in stone age, but these finds are only individual (for example stone tools from Medvedce). The oldest groups of finds, indicators of living in the area, were found on threee hill peaks within the area, so called hillforts (for example Velike bukve), date back to the end of bronze age and throughout the iron age. After the Roman invasion into this place the local people aquire a new type of living, which can be seen on the site Mareke, which lies under the hill Velike bukve. In the same time there are three roman settlements in the basin. After the year 400 there are no tracks of permanent living in the basin. Only individual finds fund by metal detectors and by coincidence from Vodice and assumed settling in Čevica can be dated in this time. Material tracks of middle ages are very modest; same stands for written sources. Not until the end of the middle ages and then throughout the new age Logaška kotlina establishes as not as less insignificant living area, in which at the end of new age there are nine villages or hamlets.
