Tomičić led many archaeological researches in continental Croatia (early medieval cemeteries Josipovo and Zvonimirovo, old towns Ivanec, Krapina, Klenovec Humski, Ilok). He deals with late antique and medieval themes, especially Slavic culture of the early middle ages, fortified cities, problems of archaeological topography and urban archaeology.
