Ecclesia S. Mariae de Turre cum capellis suis – utvrdivanje ranije faze crkve sv. Križa na lokalitetu Tar – Stancija Blek (Tar-Vabriga – Torre-Abrega, Istra)
Get PDFThe paper reports the results of the first campaign of excavations at the Church of the Holy Cross near Stancija Blek (Tar-Vabriga – Torre-Abrega municipality, Istria), which is close to the multiphase settlement of Old Tar. A trial trench behind the rear wall of the church and along its southern perimetral wall revealed an earlier building and one grave. Though the uncovered remains are scanty, several distinct architectural designs allow us to propose a first typological determination of the newly discovered structure and shed light on subsequent development at the site.
Part of this year’s analytical research was supported by the Polish National Science Center (Narodowe Centrum Nauki), grant ID: 478202, NO. 2020/37/B/ HS3/02458.U radu se donose rezultati prve kampanje istraživanja uz crkvu sv. Križa nedaleko Stancije Blek (Općina Tar-Vabriga – Torre-Abrega, Istra), odnosno nedaleko multifaznoga lokaliteta Stari Tar. Probnim sondiranjem uz začelje i južni zid crkve utvrđeno je postojanje ranije građevine i jedan grob. Iako su otkriveni ostaci za sada oskudni, nekoliko specifičnih arhitektonskih značajki omogućava iznošenje nekoliko prijedloga tipološkoga smještanja novootkrivene građevine, ali i bolje razumijevanje daljnjega razvoja lokaliteta.

Roads and rivers, pots and potters in Pannonia: Interactions, analogies and differences
Get PDFPannonian slipped ware belongs to the class of the pottery as a typical and widespread product. It was produced in various areas of the province of Pannonia, but also Noricum and Moesia. A general description of this ware is that the dishes were made on the wheel, the surface is slipped, and most often undecorated, but can be also decorated by rouletting or stamping, or a combination of the two, and fired in reducing or oxidizing atmospheres: as a result there are black, grey, red, orange vessel

Nature of the deposit and properties of bog iron ore at the Kalinovac – Hrastova Greda: a model for the analysis of ore exploitation and use in archaeological periods
Get PDFTemeljna sirovina za proizvodnju željeza tijekom kasne antike i ranoga srednjeg vijeka na prostoru Podravine bila je močvarna željezna ruda. Analiza rudnih ležišta i svojstava ruda može doprinjeti razumijevanju prirodnih mehanizama koji uvjetuju način eksploatacije i uporabu ruda u prošlosti. Međutim, ubikacija ležišta je izazovna zbog mogućnosti degradacije, potpunoga iskorištavanja te inhibicije obnove ili razvoja ležišta, prvenstveno uzrokovanih ljudskom aktivnošću i utjecajem na okoliš. U suvremenome krajoliku Podravine najviši potencijal za razvoj ležišta i jedino, djelomično razoreno ležište, ustanovljeno je na položaju Kalinovac – Hrastova greda 1 – 3. Na osnovi njegove analize izveden je model mehanizma formiranja, fizionomije i položaja ležišta u Podravini te je povedena rasprava o metodama eksploatacije kao i potencijanim prostorima pojave ležišta u odnosu na položaje arheoloških lokaliteta s tragovima proizvodnje željeza. U svrhu analize tehnološke iskoristivosti ruda sličnih svojstava iz arheološkoga konteksta, provedeno je eksperimentalno taljenje kalinovačke rude. Na osnovi rezultata objašnjavaju se čimbenici koji su mogli onemogućiti proizvodnju spužvastoga željeza. Potonje istraživanje ukazuje i na tehnološku prilagodbu u prošlosti, preradu ruda uvjetovanu prirodnim preduvjetima, prvenstveno promjenjivim svojstvima močvarnih željeznih ruda i karakterom ležišta. Pri analizi se koriste podaci dobiveni površinskim terenskim pregledom, geoarheološkim sondiranjem, geoprostornim analizama, eksperimentalnim testiranjem i mineraloškim (XRD) te kemijskim analizama (ICP – AES) uzoraka razvojnih faza rude i zgure dobivene kroz postupak eksperimentalnoga taljenja.The fundamental raw material used for iron production in the Podravina region during late antiquity and the early Middle Ages was the bog iron ore. Analysis of ore properties and deposits can contribute to the understanding of natural mechanisms that conditioned the exploitation and use of ores in the past. However, locating the deposits is challenging, due to the possibility of full exploitation, degradation and inhibited regeneration or development caused primarily by human activities and impact on the environment. In the modern landscape of Podravina, the Kalinovac – Hrastova Greda 1 – 3 position had the highest potential for ore development and the only, partially destroyed ore deposit. Based on its analysis, a model of the formation mechanism, physiognomy and deposit positioning in Podravina is proposed and methods of exploitation and the potential area of the deposit occurrence in relation to the positions of archaeological sites with iron production remains are discussed. To analyse the technological usability of ore samples with similar properties from the archaeological context, experimental testing of the smelting process was performed with the Kalinovac ore. Based on the results, the factors that could inhibit the production of iron blooms are explained. The latter research also implies a past technological adaptation, ore dressing conditioned by natural preconditions, primarily the variable properties of bog iron ores and the nature of the deposits. Data from surface field survey, geoarchaeological probing, geospatial analysis, experimental testing and mineralogical (XRD) and chemical analysis (ICP – AES) of samples of ore development stages and slag obtained through experimental smelting are used in the analysis
Distribution possibilities and transport infrastructure in northern Dalmatia’s pottery workshops: evidence and interpretations
No full textTransport infrastructure has been recognised as a fundamental feature in the choice of location for setup of craft activities. In
fact, as part of the production cycle it allows resources to be brought in and products to be dispatched to the market. Thus, it
was a key feature in the establishment of Roman pottery and ceramics workshops as well, securing, at least in rural settings,
communication within the wider estate. This paper draws on results of recent research on pottery production sites in coastal and insular settings of the Roman province of Dalmatia with the aim to discuss availability and typology of transport infrastructure and better understand the mechanism of raw materials sourcing, production organisation and products marketing. On the bases of various evidence, including actual remains as well as other indirect data, and analogies with similar sites of the Roman world, the role of transport infrastructure and its features can shed light on not only on craft activities, but also on rural properties organisation and their role in the regional economy
Miniature Iron Age vessels from the shrine in Vilina Cave
Get PDFRad obrađuje minijaturne votivne posude iz ilirskoga svetišta u Vilinoj špilji iznad izvora Omble kod Dubrovnika. Istraživanjima Dubrovačkih muzeja iz 2014. i 2015. godine sveukupno je pronađeno najmanje 45 minijaturnih posuda u barem 6 različitih oblika. Svima je zajedničko da pripadaju lokalnoj, rukom rađenoj prapovijesnoj keramici. Uglavnom je riječ o keramici lošije kvalitete, grublje fakture, s dosta primjesa kalcita i vapnenca. Pojedine od minijaturnih posuda oblikom i ukrasom oponašaju izvorne posude, normalne veličine, što nam u tim slučajevima omogućuje datiranje na osnovi njihovih tipološko-oblikovnih karakteristika. No, u većini slučajeva minijaturne posude su krajnje jednostavnoga oblika, neukrašene i tada je datiranje moguće samo indirektno, promatrajući ih u kontekstu svetišta, gdje se i svi ostali nalazi datiraju u kraj 5. i kroz cijelo 4. st. pr. Kr. Usporedba ovdje obrađenih minijaturnih posuda moguća je s ostalim lokalitetima sličnoga konteksta i funkcije, prije svega svetištima željeznoga doba u široj okolici te Grčkoj i na italskome poluotoku.The paper examines the miniature votive vessels from the Illyrian shrine in Vilina Cave above the source of the Ombla near Dubrovnik. The excavations done by Dubrovnik Museums in 2014 and 2015 found a total of at least 45 miniature vessels of at least six different shapes. They all belong to local, hand-made prehistoric pottery. They are mostly low quality pottery, with coarse fabric and abundant inclusions of calcite and limestone. The shapes and decorations of some miniature vessels imitate the original normal-sized vessels, making it possible to date them on the basis of their typological and formal characteristics. However, most miniature vessels have very simple shapes and no decorations, so they can be dated only indirectly, by considering them in the context of the shrine, where all the other finds have been dated to the end of the 5th and the entire 4th century BC. The miniature vessels examined in this paper can be compared to other sites with a similar context and function, primarily the Iron Age shrines in the wider area, Greece, and the Italian peninsula
Excavations at the under the tumuli in Dolina near Nova Gradiška in 2021
Get PDFArheološka istraživanja groblja pod tumulima u Dolini kod Nove Gradiške nastavljena su u 2021. godini u okviru istraživačkoga projekta Djetinjstvo u protopovijesti na jugu Karpatske kotline ARHKIDS (IP-2019-04-2520). Tom prilikom istražen je manji tumul 14 koji je u potpunosti bio snižen obradom zemljišta. Ispod zemljanoga nasipa otkriven je paljevinski grob bez priloga. Sličan ukop zabilježen je prilikom istraživanja tumula 9 2013. godine.The archaeological excavations at the cemetery under the tumuli in Dolina near Nova Gradiška continued in 2021 as part of the research project Childhood in protohistory in the southern Carpathian Basin ARHKIDS (IP-2019-04-2520). Small tumulus 14, excavated on that occasion, had been completely reduced by land cultivation. Cremation grave was discovered under the earth embankment without any grave goods. Tumulus 9, excavated in 2013, contained a similar burial
