Tombstones with representations of a funerary banquet from Moesia Superior
No full textThe funerary banquet motif or Tottenmahl scene was particularly popular in Roman funerary
iconography of the imperial period. Typically, it depicts the deceased reclining on a couch,
presumably in the afterlife, accompanied by a tripod with food and wine, as well as one or more
family members and a servant. Although predominantly associated with the eastern parts of the
Empire, these representations are dispersed throughout its entire territory. Diverse regional
variants emerge, influenced by artistic styles and local interpretations of the motif in the
provinces.
This paper undertakes the analysis of tombstones featuring the funerary banquet motif from the
territory of the province of Moesia Superior. The study encompasses a discussion on the
distribution, chronology, main iconographical features, and decorative elements of these
representations, along with the examination of accompanying epitaphs. Employing a
comprehensive approach, the research aims to ascertain the social status, origin, and ethnical
background of the individuals within this province who chose to commemorate or be
commemorated through this distinctive representation
Археолошка истраживања југоисточних падина планине Космај
No full textУ раду су приказани резултати археолошких рекогносцирања Музеја града
Београда (археолошка збирка Музеја Младеновца) југоисточних падина планине Космај.
Тежиште је усмерено на праисторијске и римске локалитете, док су средњовековни
публиковани 2020. године. Откривено је 26 локалитета, од којих један припада раном
неолиту, седам бронзаном добу, пет старијем гвозденом добу, два млађем гвозденом и
11 римском периоду. Већина локалитета је смештена на благим падинама изнад до-
лина мањих водених токова, или на узвишењима и уз изворе воде пратећи географски
приступачне правце комуникација. Судећи према површинским налазима: фрагменти-
ма керамичких посуда и делова архитектуре, тј. камену и лепу у случају праисториј-
ских локалитета, и камену, лепу и опекама у случају римских, на свим локалитетима
су констатовани остаци насеља. Међу њима, по положају и простирању, посебно се
издваја вишеслојни локалитет Брљочевац, који је смештен у подножју брда Кошути-
ца на доминантној, високој заравни лепезастог пружања. Tоком кампање сондажног
рекогносцирања обављеног 2022. године, на рубној зони локалитета уз северну страну
макадамског пута и на позицији уоченог и делимично уништеног објекта постављена
је сонда 1. У сонди облика рова 5,00 х 1,00 м откривени су остаци укопа објекта 1, а
очувани део био је неправилног облика и укопан у здравицу светлобраон боје. Испуна
истраженог дела објекта је слој сиво-браон боје у којем је била велика количина усит-
њеног лепа, пепела, фрагмената керамике, животињских костију и неколико крупнијих
каменова који се везују за конструктивне елементе објекта. На основу положаја и хро-
нолошког опредељења на локалитету Брљочевац откривено је насеље највероватније
градинског типа из периода на прелазу из касног бронзаног у гвоздено доба

Hunting and fishing equipment in the Neolithic period in the central Balkans
No full textThe Neolithic in the central Balkans and adjacent areas is characterised by the Early and Middle Neolithic Starčevo culture, part of the Starčevo–Körös–Criş cultural complex, and the Late Neolithic Vinča culture. Their subsistence was based on agriculture and animal herding, although hunting and fishing also had a certain role. Currently available faunal data show that there are considerable regional differences, probably linked to geographical and ecological conditions, in the ratio of wild fauna and represented species.
In this paper, we will present an overview of the current evidence for the hunting and fishing equipment made from diverse raw materials (bone, antler, chipped stone, ground stone, etc.), and analyse their role and possible hunting and fishing techniques used. Osseous raw materials were widely used for production of projectile points, harpoons and fish hooks, often very carefully made, with a large labour and skill investment. On the other hand, chipped stone artefacts that can be associated with hunting or fishing are rare. Ground and polished stone objects include weights for fishing, and some are associated with specific fishing techniques applied in the Early Neolithic in the Iron Gates, on whirlpools of the Danube. Also, some of the ceramic artefacts can be associated with fishing, such as weights, and hunting, such as possible sling bullets.[https://www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/Products/9781789694666
My precious! Marking, repairing and secondary use of military pots in Austrian Belgrade at the beginning of the 18th century
No full textThe practice of marking vessels among soldiers, referring to the personalization of objects, was
considered using a case study approach investigating the pottery assemblage found in the Belgrade Fortress. The assemblage containing approximately one thousand pots, uncovered in the complex of officer’s buildings in the Upper Town, can be narrowly dated between 1717 and 1723. Vessel characteristics, personalization, repairs and their secondary use reveal certain details about the use-life of these ceramic vessels. Emphasizing personal property in the military context stems from the necessity to maintain personal hygiene, and thus preserve health. At the same time, it indicates the importance of routine in the daily handling of a pot of certain shape and size for the particular use. On the other hand, extending the use of a pot through repair can be explained by
the relatively short lifespan of the pottery and sufficient amount of replacement dishes available
Dalle Alpi Orientali alla Mesia Superiore: un contributo allo studio delle stele funerarie in marmo
No full textA group of funerary steles of different typologies made in East Alpine marble are find in the Upper Moeisan Danubian limes. They were probably made from Gummern marble (confirmed by a petrological analysis for one stele). The steles under examination come from Viminacium, and one of them from Guberevac in the Kosmaj mountain, in the vicinity of Singidunum. The steles date in the priod from the 2nd century to the beginning of the 3rd century AD. The study attempts to hypothesize that the frieze decoration of these Moesian steles was made in Alpine workshops before the subsequent distribution. A different reading of the production and distribution of the steles from Alpine workshops to Upper Moesia is proposed. It is proposed that the one-tiered steles arrived as completely finished products while the more complex ones could have been finished in the local Moesian workshops
