All Round: Workflow for the Identification of Neolithic Enclosure Sites of the Sopot Culture in Eastern Slavonia (Croatia)
Get PDFMany sites of the Neolithic Sopot culture (about 5, 000 BC) have been identified in Slavonia (eastern Croatia) over the last 30 years. A high density of these sites is found in the northern part of the Đakovo plain, north of the town of Đakovo in the Osijek-Baranja county. The sites are in various stages of investigation. At the sites of Gorjani–Topole and Gorjani–Kremenjača, Preslatinci–Ugljara, and Tomašanci–Dubrava i Gradina, aerial imagery was studied to observe structures ; a circular enclosure was identified at Gorjani–Topole. Ground surveys were carried out in order to establish chronology and a large-scale magnetic prospection was conducted with a multi- probe fluxgate gradiometer. The results of earlier research, as well as the newly observed features at selected sites were reevaluated, and new patterns were identified using an integrative approach

Ceramic cups from the medieval castle of Vrbovec in Klenovec Humski
Get PDFU radu se obrađuju nalazi keramičkih čaša s burga Vrbovca u Klenovcu Humskome. Život se na burgu odvijao od kraja 12. pa do kraja 15. stoljeća te potom početkom 16. stoljeća kada je na ruševnome burgu podignuta novovjekovna drvena kula u funkciji stražarnice, ali i svojevrsne plemićke kurije. Nalazi keramičkih čaša potječu iz stratigrafski istraženih arheoloških slojeva što nam uvelike pomaže pri određivanju njihove vremenske pripadnosti. Time materijal s burga Vrbovca predstavlja izuzetno značajnu komparativnu građu za proučavanje raznih segmenata arheologije kasnoga srednjeg vijeka na našem prostoru, ali i šire. U radu se donose i nove spoznaje o problematici određivanja radioničke pripadnosti pojedinih tipova i nalaza keramičkih čaša.This paper analyses the finds of ceramic cups from the medieval castle of Vrbovec in Klenovec Humski. The castle was inhabited from the end of the 12th to the end of the 15th century, and at the beginning of the 16th century, when a modern period wooden tower with the function of a watchtower, but also a sort of an aristocratic manor house, was erected on top of the dilapidated castle. Finds of ceramic cups originate from the stratigraphically excavated archaeological layers, enabling us to ascertain the period they belong in. The finds from the Vrbovec castle represent an extremely significant comparative material for the study of various segments of medieval archaeology in this area, but also beyond. The paper also presents new insights into the problem of ascertaining which workshop certain types and finds of ceramic cups originated from
Falke-group stoneware from the palace of the dukes of Ilok in Ilok
No full textU članku se predstavlja nalaz visoke cilindrične čaše iz Iloka (Újlak) koji pripada Falke-skupini kamenjače, proizvedenoj u 15. stoljeću na krajnjem istoku Saske, na području povijesnih Lužica. Čaša iz Iloka predstavlja europski najjužniji nalaz Falke-skupine kamenjače. Nakon pregleda dosadašnjih spoznaja o Falke-skupini kamenjače, o njenoj dataciji i podrijetlu radionice, iločki nalaz uspoređuje se s ostalim europskim nalazima. Čaša je, svakako, bila inventarom viteške dvorane vojvode Lovre Iločkoga, a vjerojatno je pripadala još njegovu ocu Nikoli, graditelju palače Iločkih (Újlaki) u Iloku. Postavlja se pitanje jesu li ovaj luksuzni nalaz stolne keramike vojvode Iločki naslijedili još od svojih predaka.The article presents the find of a tall cylindrical beaker from Ilok (Újlak) belonging to the Falke group of stoneware, produced in the 15th century in the far east of Saxony, in the area of historical Lusatia. It represents the southernmost known example of Falke-group stoneware in Europe. After a review of previous knowledge of Falke- group stoneware, its dating and the origin of the workshop, the Ilok find is compared with other European finds. The beaker was certainly in the inventory of the knight’s hall of Duke Lawrence of Ilok, and it had probably already belonged to his father, Nicholas of Ilok, the builder of the Újlaki palace in Ilok. The question arises as to whether the Dukes of Ilok inherited this luxurious specimen of table stoneware from their ancestors
Living Danube Limes; EU Danube Transnational Programme
No full textU srpnju 2020. godine započeo je projekt Living Danube Limes u kojem Institut za arheologiju sudjeluje kao projektni partner u konzorciju kojeg čini 19 projektnih partnera iz 10 europskih država. Glavni cilj projekta je povezivanje čitave dunavske regije kroz njezino zajedničko rimsko nasljeđe, Dunavski limes. Projektom će biti obuhvaćeno osam pilot lokacija od kojih će jedna biti u Hrvatskoj. Na ovim lokacijama provest će se niz mjera interpretacije, prezentacije i popularizacije arheološke baštine vezane za rimski dunavski limes. Kao glavni povezujući faktor projekt planira izgraditi repliku rimskog broda tipa Mainz – Lusoria. Ovaj brod zaplovit će Dunavom i fizički spojiti navedene pilot lokacije po završetku projekta.In July 2020, the Living Danube Limes project began, in which the Institute of Archeology participates as a project partner in a consortium consisting of 19 project partners from 10 European countries. The main goal of the project is to connect the entire Danube region through its common Roman heritage, the Danube Limes. The project will cover 8 pilot locations, one of which will be in Croatia. A number of activities regarding the interpretation, presentation, and popularization of the archeological heritage related to the Roman Danube Limes will be carried out at these locations. As the main connecting factor, the project plans to build a replica of a Roman ship of the Mainz - Lusoria type. This ship will sail on the Danube and physically connect the mentioned pilot locations upon completion of the project
Rural Roman settlement of Lug near Bjelovar
No full textBrojni slučajni nalazi u okolici grada Bjelovara, ali i na prostoru samog grada upućivali su na postojanje rimskodobnih arheoloških lokaliteta. Potvrda je stigla u vidu zaštitnih arheoloških istraživanja prilikom gradnje istočne obilaznice grada Bjelovara 2017. godine, kada je lokalitet otkriven na položaju Lug. Utvrđeno je da je riječ o većem jednoslojnom antičkom ruralnom naselju, koji se prema pronađenim nalazima datira u period od 2. do 4. stoljeća.Numerous accidental finds in the vicinity of the town of Bjelovar, and also in the area of the town itself, indicated the existence of Roman archaeological sites. The confirmation for this arrived in the form of rescue archaeological research during the construction of the eastern bypass road around the city of Bjelovar in 2017, when the site was discovered at the position called Lug. It was ascertained that this is a larger roman rural settlement, which according to the findings, dates between the 1st and 4th century AD
Villa rustica at Novo Selo Bunje site, island of Brač
No full textNa sjeveroistočnom dijelu otoka Brača nalazi se lokalitet Novo Selo Bunje gdje je na južnom obronku brežuljka Gračišće u 1. st. po. Kr. podignut manji gospodarski objekt. Svrha njegova podizanja bila je, pretpostavlja se, proučavanje isplativosti ulaganja u ovaj brežuljkasti otok, na spomenutoj lokaciji. Podizanje ovakvih ranih gospodarskih objekata na neki način obilježava dolazak Rimljana na otok. Plodno polje Vejak i padine Gračišća pokazala su sjajan potencijal i vila velikih dimenzija je podignuta u 2. st. po. Kr. Poštujući konfiguraciju terena, podignuta je vila na više nivoa s pars urbana gdje su se nalazile manje privatne terme s mozaicima te prostorije ukrašene freskama. U pars rustica dijelu vile nalazili su se bazeni (za ulje i vino) prekriveni bijelim mozaicima i/ili hidrauličkom žbukom, mlin i tijesak. Mlin i tijesak su velikih dimenzija što govori o preradi velike količine maslina. Proizvodnja se prvenstveno odnosila na maslinovo ulje, ali se u manjoj mjeri proizvodilo i vino. Kasnije u 4. st. po. Kr. na vili se događa velika rekonstrukcija te dogradnja, posebno na južnoj terasi. U okviru ove faze sagrađena je nova prostorija za preradu prvenstveno ulja, ali i vina u sjeveroistočnom dijelu lokaliteta gdje smo otkrili cijelu prostoriju prekrivenu hidrauličkom žbukom s tijeskom, kanalima i bazenom za prikupljanje tekućine. Neki kasnoantički zidovi pokazuju različitost u načinu gradnje što nam govori o pregradnjama i u tom razdoblju, ali bez većih građevinskih zahvata kao što je to bilo u 2. i 4. st. Sa svih tijesaka, kanala, bazena i mlina uzeti su uzorci te je napravljena kemijska analiza koja je potvrdila korištenje svih tih struktura za proizvodnju i ulja i vina, sa znatno većim naglaskom na ulje. Na lokalitetu su pronađeni kasnoantički grobovi datirani od kraja 5. st. do početka 7. st. inhumacijski grob, grob u amfori i sarkofag

Results of the anthropological analysis of the osteological material from 2020 excavations of Mukoše site near Goriš
Get PDFU radu1 su predstavljeni preliminarni rezultati antropološke analize koštanih ostataka iz šest novovjekovnih grobova otkrivenih tijekom arheoloških istraživanja lokaliteta Mukoše kraj Goriša 2020. godine. Pronađeno je šest ljudskih kostura: tri kostura muškaraca starije životne dobi (40 do 65 godina), tri dječja kostura starosti do deset godina te dodatna lubanja starijeg muškarca pronađena van konteksta u grobu 1. Na kosturima muškaraca su prisutne promjene koje se povezuju s težim životnim uvjetima i duljim životnim vijekom (degenerativni osteoartritis, Schmorlovi defekti). S obzirom na veću životnu dob u ovom uzorku, navedene promjene su vjerojatnije povezane s duljim životnim vijekom. Na dječjem kosturu iz groba 3 prisutni su pokazatelji subadultnog stresa (cribra orbitalia). Promjene koje upućuju na zarazu leprom uočene su na lubanji muškarca i dodatnoj lubanji pronađenima u grobu 1. Zbog nedovoljno podataka potrebne su dodatne analize (DNA analiza prisutnosti patogena) kako bi se zaraza potvrdila (ili opovrgnula).This paper presents preliminary results of an anthropological analysis of the osteological material from six burials discovered during the excavations of Mukoše site near Goriš in 2020. Altogether six skeletons were found: 3 adult males (40 to 65 years of age) and 3 subadults up to the age of 10. Pathological changes found in the male skeletons are related to harsh living conditions and longer life span (degenerative osteoarthritis, Schmorl’s nodes). Given the greater age-at-death in the sample, the latter interpretation is more probable. In the subadult skeleton from grave 3 healed cribra orbitalia was observed. The male skull from grave 1, as well as the additional skull found in the same grave, show possible leprotic changes, but additional analysis (pathogen DNA analysis) is needed to confirm (or dismiss) the infection with certainty
Freshwater bivalve from the prehistoric layers at the site of Ilok – Dvor knezova Iločkih
No full textNalazi slatkovodne i kopnene malakofaune na arheološkim lokalitetima mogu pružiti vrijedne podatke o paleookolišu, prehrani i korištenju mekušaca kao sirovine za izradu predmeta različite namjene. U radu su predstavljeni rezultati arheomalakološke analize slatkovodnih školjkaša iz roda Unio pronađenih u prapovijesnim slojevima na lokalitetu Ilok – Dvor knezova Iločkih u istočnoj Hrvatskoj. Analiza je obuhvatila 35 fragmenata školjkaša koji potječu iz deset stratigrafskih jedinica. Prema morfologiji određene su vrste Unio crassus, Unio pictorum i Unio tumidus. Jedan primjerak ima perforaciju na umbu, što može upućivati na uporabu predmeta kao privjeska. Tafonomske promjene na školjkašima ukazuju na ekstrakciju sirovog mesa, dok skroman skup nalaza pretpostavlja sporadično korištenje.Finds of freshwater and terrestrial malacofauna at archaeological sites can provide valuable information on the paleoenvironment, nutrition and use of mollusks as raw materials for the manufacture of objects for various purposes. The paper presents the results of archeomalacological analysis of freshwater shellfish of the genus Unio found in prehistoric strata at the site Ilok – Dvor knezova Iločkih in eastern Croatia. The analysis included 35 shell fragments originating from ten stratigraphic units. According to morphology, the species Unio crassus, Unio pictorum and Unio tumidus were determined. One specimen has a perforation on the umbo, which may indicate the use of the object as a pendant. Taphonomic changes in shellfish indicate extraction of raw meat, while a modest set of findings suggests sporadic use
