Dolina na Savi: Excavations of the settlement in 2019 and an overview of the use of landscape along the River Sava in the Late Bronze Age
Get PDFKasnobrončanodobno naselje u Dolini na položaju Babine grede locirano je na dvije uzdignute grede koje su položene usporedno s tokom rijeke Save u smjeru zapad – istok. Naselje je poznato na osnovi od ranije prikupljenih površinskih nalaza keramičkih ulomaka te je potvrđeno geomagnetskim snimanjem koje je provedeno 2014. godine. Tijekom 2015. i 2016. godine istražena je sonda 1 koja je smještena na istočnome dijelu zapadne grede. Arheološkim istraživanjem 2018. godine na položaju Babine Grede – Tukovi utvrdila se djelomična istovremenost naselja na istočnoj gredi tijekom Ha A2, odnosno tijekom prve polovice 11. st. pr. Kr. U sondi 2 otkriveni su i mlađi horizonti od onih zabilježenih u sondi 1. U istraživanjima koja su provedena u proljeće 2019. godine otvorena je manja sonda 3 na zapadnome dijelu istočne grede. Sonda 3 nalazi se južno od naselja na zapadnoj gredi. Ova sonda istraživana je s ciljem ubikacije ravnoga groblja, ali je lociran periferni dio naselja s većim ukopanim objektom. Novim rezultatima istraživanja dopunjene su spoznaje o granicama naselja i smjerovima njegova širenja, kao i pretpostavke o položaju ravnoga groblja. Činjenica da se na drugoj strani rijeke nalazi brončanodobno naselje Donja Dolina koje je, sudeći prema objavljenim nalazima, bar jednim dijelom bilo istovremeno s naseljem na položaju Babine grede, otvara niz novih pitanja o specifičnome načinu korištenja krajolika uz rijeku Savu tijekom kasnoga brončanog doba, osobito tijekom mlađe faze kulture polja sa žarama.The Late Bronze Age settlement in Dolina at the location of Babine Grede stands on two elevated ridges lying along the course of the River Sava in the direction of west – east. The settlement is known on the basis of previously collected surface finds of potsherds and was confirmed by a geomagnetic survey conducted in 2014. Trench 1, located in the eastern part of the western ridge, was excavated in 2015 and 2016. The archaeological excavations of the location of Babine Grede – Tukovi in 2018 determined that the settlement on the east ridge was partly contemporary in Ha A2, i.e. in the first half of the 11th cent. BC. Trench 2 included younger horizons than those recorded in Trench 1. The excavations conducted in the spring of 2019 opened Trench 3, which is a smaller trench on the western part of the eastern ridge. Trench 3 is located south of the settlement on the western ridge. This trench was excavated with the aim of locating a flat cemetery, but it located a peripheral part of the settlement with a large buried structure. The new excavation results have supplemented the findings about the borders of the settlement and the directions of its expansion, as well as the assumptions about the position of the flat cemetery. According to the published findings, the Bronze Age settlement of Donja Dolina on the other side of the river was at least partly contemporary with the settlement at Babine Grede, and this fact raises a number of new questions about the specific use of landscape along the River Sava in the Late Bronze Age, especially during the younger phase of the Urnfield culture
IRON-AGE-DANUBE INTERREG DTP 2019 in Jalžabet: From research and preservation to the presentation and sustainable use of archaeological monuments, sites, and landscapes
Get PDFU rujnu 2017. godine, tijekom provedbe međunarodnoga projekta „Monumentalni krajolici starijega željeznog doba Podunavlja” (“Iron-Age-Danube” Interreg DTP) u kojemu, uz partnere iz pet srednjoeuropskih zemalja, sudjeluje i Institut za arheologiju iz Zagreba, arheološka ekipa Instituta za arheologiju utvrdila je kako je jedan od najpoznatijih prapovijesnih spomenika na tlu Republike Hrvatske i jedan od rijetkih gigantskih neistraženih prapovijesnih grobnih humaka srednje Europe opljačkan i prilikom pljačke teško oštećen. Već tijekom zime 2017. godine započela su hitna zaštitna istraživanja Gomile u Jalžabetu te su se nastavila i u 2018. i 2019. godini. Takve okolnosti Institut za arheologiju nisu niti tijekom 2019. godine omele u provedbi obaveza nastalih uključenjem u projekt Iron-Age-Danube Interreg DTP. Uz intenzivnu uporabu neinvazivnih analitičkih metoda, pribavljen je niz novih informacija o arheološkome krajoliku u Jalžabetu, ali i drugim arheološkim lokalitetima i spomenicima u cijeloj mikroregiji. U okviru projekta, tijekom 2019. godine uz potok Bistričak je postavljena i arheološko-turistička staza s dvojezičnim natpisima.During activities within “Monumentalized Early Iron Age Landscapes in the Danube river basin” (“Iron-Age-Danube” Interreg DTP), an international project involving the Institute of Archaeology from Zagreb along with partners from five Central European countries, the archaeological team of the Institute of Archaeology determined that one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in Croatia and one of the few giant unexplored prehistoric burial mounds in Central Europe had been robbed and severely damaged during the robbery. In winter 2017 already, Gomila in Jalžabet was the subject of emergency rescue excavations, which continued in 2018 and 2019. Such circumstances did not hinder the Institute of Archaeology in 2019 from implementing the obligations arising from the inclusion in the Iron-Age-Danube Interreg DTP project. The intense use of non-invasive analytical methods obtained much new information on the archaeological landscape in Jalžabet, but also on other archaeological sites and monuments throughout the micro-region. Within the project, an archaeological/tourist trail with bilingual inscriptions was set up along the Bistričak stream in 2019
Research results in Lovas (Western Syrmia) in 2019 – The Late Hallstatt and the Early La Tène cemetery
Get PDFTijekom ljeta 2019. godine, u okviru projekta FEMINE, proveden je nastavak probnih istraživanja kasnohalštatskoga i ranolatenskoga groblja u Lovasu u zapadnome Srijemu. Groblje je smješteno u samome središtu naselja, na blagome uzvišenju koje je položeno uz istočni rub lesne uzvisine, a otkriveno je tijekom izgradnje vodovoda sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća kada su pronađeni kosturni grobovi koji su datirani u mlađu fazu starijega željeznog doba. U pokusnim istraživanjima provedenim 2018. godine otkriveno je biritualno groblje s kraja starijega te početka mlađega željeznog doba. U nastavku istraživanja otkrivene su grobne cjeline koje potvrđuju datiranje i rasprostranjenost groblja, pri čemu se izdvajaju predmetima nošnje i nakita bogato opremljeni kosturni grobovi žena. Isto tako, izniman nalaz predstavlja otkriće ukopa konja sa željeznim žvalama kakve se nalaze na prostoru Donjega Podunavlja. Pokusna istraživanja provedena u Lovasu u okviru projekta FEMINE potvrdila su pretpostavke kako se radi o izuzetno važnome nalazištu s prijelaza starijega u mlađe željezno doba, pri čemu je od posebne važnosti otkriće zatvorenih grobnih cjelina s nalazima predmeta ženske nošnje i nakita te pripadajućim antropološkim uzorkom koji će omogućiti provedbu interdisciplinarnih bioarheoloških analiza.During the summer of 2019, within the FEMINE project, trial excavations were continued in the Late Hallstatt and the Early La Tene cemetery in Lovas in western Syrmia. The cemetery is located in the very centre of the village, on a gentle elevation lying along the eastern edge of the loess plateau. It was discovered during the construction of the waterworks in the 1970s, when inhumation graves were found and dated to the younger phase of the Early Iron Age. The trial excavations conduced in 2018 discovered a biritual cemetery from the end of the Early Iron Age and the beginning of the Late Iron Age. When the excavations continued, they found more funerary complexes confirming the dates and layout of the cemetery. What particularly stood out were women’s inhumation graves richly furnished with items of costume and jewellery. Also, there was an exceptional find – the burial of a horse with iron bit of the form found in the area of the Lower Danube. The trial excavations in Lovas within the FEMINE project have confirmed the hypothesis that this is an exceptionally important site from the transition from the Early to Late Iron Age. Particular importance has been attached to the discovery of closed funerary complexes with female costume and jewellery items and the associated anthropological sample that will enable interdisciplinary bioarchaeological analyses
Clavi coctiles from Cibalae (Vinkovci)
Get PDFManjim zaštitnim arheološkim istraživanjima koja su provedena 1990. godine u Vinkovcima na položaju Šokadija, otkriven je dio antičkoga stambenog objekta sa sustavom za grijanje. Detaljnom obradom arheološkoga materijala pronađenoga u ovome objektu indentificirano je, između ostalih nalaza, i više fragmenata šupljih kratkih keramičkih stožaca grublje izrade. Ovi predmeti se dovode u vezu s elementima jednoga specifičnog načina konstrukcije zidnoga dijela hypocausta, tj. zidnoga grijanja. Naime, riječ je o više fragmenata predmeta koji se nazivaju clavi coctiles, u hrvatskoj literaturi manje poznatih tipova keramičkih odstojnika korištenih u termalnim kompleksima diljem Rimskoga carstva.Minor rescue archaeological excavations were conducted in 1990 in the area of the town of Vinkovci, on the position Šokadija, a part of an ancient residential building where a heating system was discovered. Detailed processing of the archaeological material found in this building revealed, among other finds, several fragments of hollow short ceramic cones of coarser quality. These objects are related to the elements of a specific way of construction of the wall part of the hypocaust, i.e. wall heating. Namely, there are several fragments of objects called clavi coctiles, which in Croatian literature are described as lesser-known types of ceramic spacers, used in thermal complexes throughout the Roman Empire

STOBREČ – BEDEMI: PREGLED KERAMIČKIH NALAZA S ISTRAŽIVANJA 2012. GODINE
Get PDFU radu se donosi pregled keramičkih nalaza, koji su otkriveni tijekom arheoloških iskopavanja obavljenih prilikom izrade dokumentacije postojećeg stanja helenističkog bedema na sjevernoj strani antičkog Epetija, današnjeg Stobreča. Analizirane su stilsko-morfološke i tipološko-funkcionalne karakteristike dokumentiranih ulomaka temeljem kojih se keramički nalazi predstavljaju prema kronologiji, keramičkih vrstama i funkcionalnim grupama posuđa. To nam omogućava određeni uvid u arheološku materijalnu kulturu s prostora Stobreča, koja je sagledana u kontekstu cirkulacije keramike, ali i drugih dobara u Dalmaciji
Rab island settlement typology and organisation through a diachronic approach – First data from a multidisciplinary research
No full textTijekom šest kampanja terenskih pregleda, geofizičkih mjerenja i probnih sondiranja, prikupljen je široki spektar podataka o obrascima naseljavanja otoka Raba koji omogućava definiciju preciznije slike otočnih naselja od bročanogaa doba do ranoga novog vijeka. Ti su podaci korišteni za daljnje analize koje ukazuju na mogućnost podrobnijega definiranja pojedinih naselja s aspekta njihove tipologije i interne organizacije. Stoga su se tijekom 2019. godine istraživanja u sklopu projekta Arheološka topografija otoka Raba koncentrirala na dva loparska lokaliteta: poluotok Kaštelinu i uvalu Podšilo. Paralelno, provedeni su dodatni terenski pregledi i geofizičke prospekcije kako na području Lopara, tako i na području grada Raba, s ciljem bolje definicije obuhvata pojedinih lokaliteta i njihovih značajki, što omogućava komparativne analize otočne naseljenosti kroz pojedina razdoblja. Pilot kampanja geofizičkih mjerenja u povijesnoj gradskoj jezgri Raba omogućila je procjenu potencijala ovih metoda unutar intenzivno korištenoga prostora urbanoga središta, kao i prikupljanje podataka o dijakroniji razvoja grada unutar širih gradskih područja. Ti će podaci također biti ključni za razumijevanje odnosa između naselja i cjelokupne organizacije naseljenosti otoka kroz vrijeme. U radu se donosi pregled preliminarnih rezultata istraživanja triju naseobinskih lokaliteta otoka Raba, željeznodobne gradine, rimskoga ruralnog naselja i urbanoga središta, a koji su, s obzirom na svoje reprezentativne značajke, indikativni za prijedlog razvoja naseljavanja otoka.The collection of a wide range of data related to the settlement pattern of the island of Rab, carried out through six years of reconnaissance, geophysical prospection and trial trenching campaigns, allowed the definition of a clearer picture of the island’s settling from the Bronze age to early Modern times. This data set, used as basis for further analysis, indicated the need to further explore selected settlement sites in order to better define both their typology and their internal organisation. Consequently, during the 2019 campaign of the Archaeological topography of the island of Rab project, research intensified on two sites on the Lopar peninsula: Kaštelina cape and Podšilo bay. In parallel, further reconnaissance and geophysical prospecting was carried out both on Lopar and within Rab municipality, aiding in the definition of settled area spread and their features, which will help comparative period-specific analysis of the island’s settling. A pilot prospecting campaign carried out within the historic centre of Rab town allowed assessing the methods’ potential within the urban fabric of such a long-settled zone, but also gaining first wide-area data on its diachronic developments. Such data will also prove essential in understanding the inter-settlement relationships and the overall organisation of the island’s settlement pattern through time. Within the paper preliminary results of the research carried out at three sites is presented, i.e. an Iron Age hillfort, a Roman rural settlement and within the urban centre, which are, due to their representative features, indicative for proposing the development of settling on the island
A change of perspective on early Roman migrations in the Mediterranean. The case of the eastern Adriatic
Get PDFMigracije ljudi neizostavan su dio ljudske povijesti. One mogu biti i uzrok i posljedica, ali isto tako i katalizator društvenih promjena na nekome području. Migracije u doba rimskih osvajanja donedavno su u znanstvenoj raspravi bile slabo zastupljene u odnosu na izvještaje i komentare ratova i ostalih političkih zbivanja i aktera. Isto vrijedi i za sukobe na istočnoj jadranskoj obali. Zbog toga je cilj ovoga rada istražiti tragove i prirodu migracija koje su se događale uslijed ilirskih ratova i postupnoga nametanja Rima kao vladara ovog područja od 3. st. pr. Kr. pa do sredine 1. st. pr. Kr.Human migrations are an integral part of human history. They can be both a cause and a consequence, but also a catalyst for social change in an area. Until recently, migrations during the Roman conquests were poorly represented in the scientific discussion in relation to reports and comments on wars and other political events and figures. The same applies to conflicts on the eastern Adriatic coast. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the traces and nature of migrations that occurred as a result of the Illyrian wars and the gradual imposition of Rome as the ruler of this area from the 3rd cent. BC until the middle of the 1st cent. BC
A contribution to the understanding of the topography of Sotin (Cornacum) in Roman period
Get PDFSotin je mjesto na visokoj lesnoj zaravni uz Dunav i prva rimska vojna utvrda nizvodno od Teutoburgiuma (Dalj) na dunavskome limesu. Tragovi rimskoga Sotina poznati su još od 19. st. kada su prvi nalazi počeli pristizati u muzeje, prije svega u Arheološki muzej u Zagrebu, tada Narodni muzej. Desetljećima su prikupljani brojni nalazi pri zemljanim radovima i terenskim pregledima. Zaštitna istraživanja, najčešće pri infrastrukturnim radovima, obavljali su djelatnici Gradskoga muzej Vukovar, a u razdoblju od 2008. do 2018. Institut za arheologiju provodio je ciljana istraživanja na području Sotina s ciljem lociranja groblja iz brončanoga i željeznoga doba. Tijekom višegodišnjih istraživanja na sedam različitih položaja otkriveni su, između ostaloga, i tragovi antičkoga Sotina te su preliminarne topografske spoznaje o Sotinu u rimsko doba predstavljene u ovome radu.Sotin is a site on a high loess plateau along the Danube and the first Roman military fort downstream from Teutoburgium (Dalj) on the Danube limes. Traces of Roman Sotin have been known since the 19th century, when the first finds began to arrive in museums, primarily in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, then the National Museum. Numerous finds from excavations and field surveys were collected over the decades. Rescue excavations, usually during infrastructure works, were performed by the employees of Vukovar Municipal Museum. From 2008 to 2018, the Institute of Archaeology undertook targeted excavations in the area of Sotin to locate a Bronze and Iron Age cemetery. Over a period of several years, excavations on seven different locations uncovered the traces of ancient Sotin and other finds. This paper presents the preliminary topographic findings on Sotin in Roman times
