Archaeological Indications of Contacts between the Slavic Cultures of the Serbian Danube Region and Great Moravia
Get PDFArheologija Velikomoravske kneževine zauzima posebno mesto u evropskoj srednjovekovnoj arheologiji, budući da ocrtava model slovenske protodržave koja je baštinila tekovine karolinškog zapada i vizantijskog istoka, ali i pokazivala sasvim jedinstvene pojave koje usled istorijskih okolnosti nisu doživele svoj puni razvoj. Istraživanja velikomoravske teme su od važnosti i za srednjovekovnu arheologiju u Srbiji, tim pre što se upoređivanjem građe naslućuje da različite vrste nalaza - pritom ne tako malobrojnih - iz šire oblasti Podunavlja sa dolinom Velike Morave i Timoka upućuju i na intenzivnije kontakte sa regijama u Češkoj i Slovačkoj. Stoga ovaj rad nudi sažet pregled arheološkog materijala velikomoravskog porekla/stila iz današnje Srbije. Izdvajaju se dve grupe indikativnih predmeta - jednu čine nakit i delovi odeće, a drugoj pripadaju naoružanje i konjska oprema.The study of the Great Moravian heritage is of importance for Serbian archaeology, all the more so as different kinds of archaeological finds from the wider Serbian Danube region, inlcuding the Velika Morava and Timok valleys, point to certain contacts with the regions of the Great Moravian state in present-day Czech Republic and Slovakia. While for some finds one may confidently suggest a Great Moravian workshop provenance, other finds, similar not exclusively to the Moravian ones, reflect wider Slavic fashion styles. Although the majority of our sample does not come from archaeological contexts, on the basis of central European parallels these finds can be dated to the 9th and the first half of the 10th centuries. There are two groups of indicative finds – jewellery and parts of clothing, and weapons and horse-riding equipment.Arheološki institut, Beograd. Posebna izdanja, knjiga 7
Legijski logor u Viminacijumu: arheološka istraživanja severnog bedema u 2018. godini
Get PDFIstraživanja legijskog utvrđenja u Viminacijumu započeta su krajem 19. veka. Radovi su nastavljeni početkom 20. veka, a naredna, sondažna iskopavanja kastruma, vršena su osamdesetih godina prošlog veka.2 Obimniji radovi sprovođeni su 2002. i 2003. godine na prostoru severne kapije (porta praetoria),3 a ova istraživanja nastavljena su u kraćem vremenskom periodu sredinom 2010. godine. Početkom 2016. godine započeta su zaštitna iskopavanja legijskog utvrđenja, koja su nastavljena tokom 2017. godine.4 Istraživanja su bila usmerena na severozapadni deo logora, a njima je, pored zapadnog bedema, zapadne kapije (porta principalis sinistra) i odbrambenog rova, bio obuhvaćen i severni bedem, zajedno sa ugaonom i bočnim kulama.
Tokom 2018. godine nastavljena su zaštitna iskopavanja u zoni zapadnog i severnog bedema viminacijumskog utvrđenja.5 U severnom delu logora završena su istraživanja na prostoru sonde 24, a otvoreno je i pet novih sondi (sonde 25, 34–37)6 (sl. 1). Ovogodišnjim istraživanjima nastavljeno je praćenje severnog bedema i potvrđene su dve faze izgradnje kastruma, koje su konstatovane u prethodnim kampanjama. Prvu fazu, koja se datuje u poslednje decenije 1. veka, odlikuje utvrđenje građeno od komada prirodno zapečene zemlje, odnosno crvenke,7 dok drugoj fazi, datovanoj u 2. vek, odgovara logor izgrađen od škriljca i krečnjaka. Uz severni bedem otkrivene su tri bočne kule iz različitih faza izgradnje logora, a vršeni su i radovi na prostoru severne kapije. Istraživanjima je obuhvaćen i manji deo odbrambenog rova, koji se prostirao oko utvrđenja. U unutrašnjosti logora radilo se na otkrivanju severoistočnog dela objekta 1, koji je definisan 2017. godine, dok su završena istraživanja zidova koji se prostiru između severnog bedema i ove građevine. Krajem 2018. godine, u neposrednoj blizini bedema započeta su i sistematska arheološka iskopavanja, koja su usmerena na severozapadni deo logora (Sektor I) i podrazumevala su zapadni deo objekta 1 (sl. 1)
Praistorijski lokalitet Pločnik kod Prokuplja : koštana industrija : (istraživanja 1996-2011. godine)
Get PDFOsseous raw materials were very important for prehistoric communities that inhabited Pločnik. During the Late Neolithic Vinča culture, bones, antler and rarely teeth were used for a variety of objects, predominantly everyday tools, while imported mollusc shells, bones and antler were used for decorative and non-utilitarian items. Manufacturing techniques used were those known in other Vinča culture communities, and the typological repertoire has some of the widespread Vinča culture traits, but with few local traits. Objects were mainly carefully produced, with a limited number of ad hoc tools; sometimes traces of repair may be noted, but the raw materials were abundant and were not economised. Manufacturing debris shows that osseous artefacts were produced within the settlement. However, it was not possible to determine the location of a possible workshop or working area, since the majority of artefacts was discovered within contexts containing deposited material. Differences between earlier and later phases were not noted.
The Bubanj culture horizon yielded a limited amount of tools, but they share the same techno-typological traits with other Early Eneolithic bone industries in the region
Coins of an early Christian sacral complex on the Via Militaris (route Remesiana – Turres)
Get PDFThroughout the year of 2017, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments Nis has
conducted rescue researches on the route of the Nis-Pirot highway, in the region of the
village Stanicenje (Municipality of Pirot), at the locality Gradiste – Podgradje. The locality is
situated in the narrow river plateau of the Nisava River and creates an entirety with a bigger
settlement and its belonging fortification of unknown antique name (Latina?), on the route of
the Roman road between Remesiana and Turres.
The researches have discovered different construction remains (Roman bath, early-Christian
sacral complex), which belong to the period between the second half of the III until the
second hald of the VI century. The most significant discovered object is the larger early
Christian basilica. The construction of the existing highway has destrayed the whole northern
half of this basilica.
In the south-western part of basilica, there was a crypt, in which the sceleton remains of 11
individuals of male gender were secundarily buried. In the western side of the complex, there
was an additionally-constructed rectangular annex which had the function of the main
entrance, with monumental stairs.
Within the variety of archelogical findings, particularly interesting are numerous numismatic
findings. The 168 coins found here, mostly belong to the period when the early Christian
complex was in use. A detailed analysis of money circulation will have the purpose of
defining a more precise chronology of this archeological site, in particular the periods when
this sacral complex was in use and the circumstances in which it was abandone
Rimska Lederata i njena promocija u okviru međunarodnog projekta Living Danube Limes
Get PDFU oktobru 2021. Godine započet međunarodni projekat ,,Living Danube Limes", čiji je glavni cilj promocija zajedničkog rimskog nasleđa u Podunavlju i povezivanje lokaliteta na dunavskom limesu u jedinstvenu turistiku celinu. Jedan od ciljeva ovog projekta bio je i odabir nacionalnih pilot lokacija koje će se dalje unapređivati i koje će biti povezane zajedničkom rečnom rutom. Za pilot lokaciju na srpskom segmentu limesa je izabran upravo lokalitet Lederata, a partneri na ovom projektu su pored ostalih Arheoloki institut Beograd i Opština Veliko Gradište. Ovaj projekat koji podstiče interpretaciju kulturnog nasleđa kroz elemente storytelling-a i oživljavanja istorije može biti prekretnica u saradnji naunih institucija i lokalnih uprava i primer dobre prakse koji će rezultirati adekvatnom zaštitom i prezentacijom ovog lokaliteta čiji izuzetan turistički potencijal tek počinje da se koristi
Археозоолошке одлике средњовековног привређивања на примерима Тврђаве Рас, манастира Студенице и Рудника
Get PDFDosadašnja saznanja o načinima privređivanja stanovnika srednjovekovnih srpskih zemalja, prevashodno u oblasti stočarstva i ishrane, poprilično su oskudna i uglavnom bazirana na malobrojnim pisanim izvorima. Stoga možemo samo u fragmentima da naslućujemo šta se nalazilo na trpezi određenih kategorija stanovništva, kao i na čemu je počivala ekonomija određenih tipova naselja. Međutim, nedostatak tih saznanja prevaziđen je dobrim delom proučavanjem životinjskih ostataka, koji pružaju dragocene direktne izvore podataka značajnih za razumevanje uloge životinja u ekonomiji srednjovekovne Srbije
A contribution to the study of archery on the basis of activity-induced stress markers on the skeleton
No full textDuring the examination of skeletal remains from historical periods, anthropologists often come across, among others, findings from soldiers’ graves as well. Aside from researches whose goal is to provide an interpretation of everyday life and habits of soldiers, their health status, examining the presence of ante-mortem and peri-mortem injuries which were not caused by accidents, but rather by deliberate violence (injuries caused by arms or tools, injuries as consequences of punishments, caused by fighting with “bare hands”, i.e. in direct frontal fights, etc.), and the level of medical care provided, the greatest challenge for the researchers is certainly the solving of problems regarding activity-induced stress markers linked to carrying military equipment, usage of specific types of arms or tools, riding, etc., while the deceased were in active military service.
While studying soldiers’ graves, our attention was especially drawn by graves of archers from several sites in Serbia: Timacum Minus, Singidunum, Romuliana, Banjska Monastery and Resava (Manasija) Monastery. Aside from examining their health status and pathological changes, special attention was dedicated to deformities, anomalies and entheseal changes that occur on the skeletons as a result of physical stress
Појава анкилозирајућег спондилитиса, његова етиологија и могућност лечења у средњем веку
Get PDFБолести зглобова представљају најчешћа обољења с којима се срећу антрополози приликом палеопатолошких истраживања скелетних остатака откривених на археолошким локалитетима, а међу њима највише се јављају дегенеративни артритис или остеоартритис, реуматоидни артритис, дифузна идиопатска скелетна хиперостоза и анкилозирајући спондилитис. За разлику од осталих болести зглобова, анкилозирајући спондилитис открили смо на свега седам скелета из периода 14–16. века
Viminacium: Segments of History Documented by Archaeology
No full textExcavations of the archaeological site of Viminacium began at the end of the 19th century with excavations of necropoleis that are still the most extensively researched areas due to rescue projects. The systematic research of the
legionary fortress and the city only began in this millennium. The investigators have several sources in connecting
historical and epigraphic knowledge about Viminacium as the capital of the Roman province Moesia Superior,
later Moesia Prima, with the results of archaeological exploration. When it came to the necropolis, it was possible
to connect a specific burial ritual with the soldiers of the auxiliary detachments who were stationed in Moesia
Superior. With regard to buildings such as the amphitheatre, fortification, or aqueducts, the construction material
could provide an answer to the question of the identification of the legion or legions present in the fortress. Special
attention is paid to the recently discovered and researched site which is considered to provide events of events in
the second half of the 3rd century AD
A Contribution to the Contemporary Development of Architectural Conservation in Serbia: Scientific Research on the Danube Limes Mortar
Get PDFIzrada dugoročnih planova očuvanja i održavanja jednog spomenika trebalo bi da podrazumeva i prethodno sprovođenje interdisciplinarnih naučnih i inženjerskih istraživanja koja pružaju neophodne podatke za adekvatno izvođenje praktičnih radova na arhitektonskoj konzervaciji. Međutim, danas je takva istraživanja teško sprovesti u celosti u Srbiji, s obzirom na to da su finansijska sredstva za zaštitu kulturnog nasleđa ograničena, pa često zavise od entuzijazma pojedinaca i volje pojedinačnih institucija. S druge strane, složenost arhitektonske konzervacije se u široj javnosti nedovoljno razume. Nažalost, radovi na istorijskim građevinama često se danas u Srbiji posmatraju kroz njihovo poređenje sa aktivnostima savremene izgradnje, pa se ispred njih postavlja brzina izvođenja kao najvažniji zahtev. Još pre više od četiri decenije profesor Arhitektonskog fakulteta dr Slobodan Nenadović (1915–2004) zapisao je da savremeni metodološki pristup u očuvanju spomenika počiva na „svestranoj naučnoj analizi svih elemenata“. Svaka građena struktura se mora posmatrati na poseban način i ne postoji unapred zadata uniformnost aktivnosti kao u savremenim građevinskim radovima
