Bâtons percés from Eastern Europe: an overview
Get PDFBâtons percés are a specific type of antler artefacts, discovered and identified first on numerous Upper Palaeolithic sites in western Europe. However, they are also encountered at some of the eastern European sites, although their distribution varies considerably. In this paper will be provided an overview of thus far discovered bâtons percés in the eastern parts of Europe. In particular, the site of Sungir in present-day Russia, located in vicinity of the town of Vladimir, yielded an interesting assemblage: four bâtons percés in total, two produced from reindeer antler and two from an unusual raw material, ivory. The bâton percé from ivory is decorated with dots, while the bâton percé from antler has a row of parallel transversal incisions. Furthermore, two possible semi-finished pieces were identified. Several bâtons percés were also recovered at sites in Romania (Cotu Miculinti, Crasnaleuca), but, on the other hand, their absence in the Balkan area is conspicuous, although it may simply reflect the state of research in the region

Observations on the pottery findings from East Mediterranean in Viminacium (Serbia)
Get PDFRecently conducted archaeological excavations at the territory of the VII Claudia legion military
camp at Viminacium (Moesia Superior) brought out to light significant knowledge on roman
pottery from the oldest phases of the castrum and the city development. During these excavations
numerous forms of the imported and local ceramic vessels were discovered, already known in
Viminacium pottery production repertoire. New finds of so-called "carrot" amphorae improved
precise chronological determination of this type of ceramic forms within the capital of Moesia
Superior. It is supposed that this amphora type originates from the eastern Mediterranean
workshop centers and that were in use for supply of military troops as well as civilians as
containers of dry, exotic fruits of the eastern imperial territories
Unusual ceramic household items in use from Antiquity to the Middle Ages
Get PDFOn the sites of Pannonia and Moesia, objects are found that are apparently entirely
unusual, and some of them have not changed their appearance from prehistoric
times to the present day. For example, a vessel with a grate, an object whose exact
purpose has not been revealed so far, and the theories about it exceed the number
of those found. Vessels with a handle above the opening are used from prehistory to
the Middle Ages and are also found in ethnological ceramics. The large clay lid also
traces its origins from prehistoric times to the present. And cheese moulds have not
changed their appearance since Roman times. Bowls with buttons on the handles
also attract attention with possible guesses about how they were used. In this paper,
we will present the current state of research on several of such items that are found
in Lower Pannonia and Upper Moesi
Mortars of the Danube Limes in Serbia. Building the Roman Frontier
No full textThe project Mortar Design for Conservation - Danube Roman Frontier 2000 Years After (MoDeCo2000) explores Roman mortars of the former Danube Limes in Serbia. Its concept encompasses the comprehensive cross-disciplinary research into raw materials and technologies used for the creation of lime mortars, conducted with the aim of providing scientific information that could be used for the proper conservation of this unique serial monument which aims to be a part of the UNESCO WHS List
An overview of the CBM industries of ancient Viminacium
No full textThis study will analyse the CBM (Ceramic Building Material) industry of ancient Viminacium, the capital of the Roman province of Moesia Superior and the military camp of the Legio VII Claudia. Extensive archaeological excavations have unearthed 14 brick kilns in the areas surrounding the civilian settlement and the military camp. The majority of kilns were spread out across two main production areas. They were operated by the legion and were identified as the main areas of CBM production in Viminacium. Several kilns were found outside of these areas and probably represent small scale private production
Monetary circulation of late antique Naissus
Get PDFThe subject of the paper is the analysis of the monetary movements of late antique Naissus. The research is limited to the period from the end of the 3rd to the middle of the 5th century. The numismatic material comes from 13 locations, from the sites: Mediana, King Milan Square and Liberation Square, Niš fortress and Gradsko Polje, Jagodin Mala necropolis, Gorča, Ambasador, Obrenovićeva Street, and Vuk Karadžić elementary school. The mentioned localities are positioned both in the urban city centre and on its outskirts. Also, the context of the found coinage is different and diverse, coming from the city necropolis, hoards, the fortress, a residential villa, etc. Such a rich sample provides a detailed and comprehensive insight into the monetary movements of late antique Naissus and a good sample for comparison with sites in neighbouring provinces (Dacia Ripensis and Moesia Prima)
The use of mollusc shells for ornaments in the Bronze Age of the southern Carpathian basin
Get PDFMollusc shells have been used for the production of ornaments since the Palaeolithic times. Some of the world’s oldest decorative items were, in fact, made from shells. Their smooth surfaces, durability and bright colours, were some of the reasons why they were aesthetically attractive to numerous prehistoric communities. Ornaments made from shell often had symbolic value – they were used to display status, prestige, belonging to a group, and may be used as indicators for trade and exchange routes. However, although they were in use in the prehistoric period, they have received less attention from researchers studying periods after the Neolithic. This paper will provide an overview on the use of shells for ornaments in the Bronze Age Maros culture in the southern Carpathian basin. They have so far been analysed only within the context of burial equipment and their relation to other jewellery items, mainly metal objects. However, they may provide an additional insight into some of the symbolic aspects, cultural attitudes towards certain raw materials, as well some aspects of trade and exchange.[https://publications.naim.bg/index.php/IntStudies/article/view/271
Transformation of the Late Neolithic Vinča culture: Innovations and Traditions in the Copper Age of the Central Balkans
Get PDFDuring the second half of the 5th millennium BC communities in the Central Balkans experienced fundamental changes. The complex process of transformation of the Vinča culture included a series of internal and external factors, which have led to the gradual abandonment of long-lasting large settlements, micro-regions, and regions, and the formation of the new cultural milieu of the Copper Age.28th EAA Annual Meeting in Budapest, Hungary, 31 August - 3 September 2022, Abstract book
