No full textTraces of children’s play during the Late Bronze Age in the southern Carpathian Basin
Full text linkIgra je svevremenska aktivnost. U proučavanju djetinjstva u prošlosti nezaobilazan izvor predstavljaju igračke, od kojih su se sačuvale samo one izrađene od trajnijih materijala. Rekonstrukcija igre u kasno brončano doba predstavlja složen proces – od proučavanja predmeta u dječjim grobovima, do dokumentiranja tragova igre u brojnim istraživanim naseljima. U radu se pokušavaju prikazati tragovi igre djece tijekom kasnoga brončanog doba na jugu Karpatske kotline prema prikupljenim materijalnim dokazima te interpretacijama zatvorenih konteksta i slučajnih nalaza. Proučavani konteksti i nalazi datiraju se od 14. do kraja 9. st. pr. Kr., a potječu iz istraživanih groblja i naselja na području kontinentalne Hrvatske, istočne Slovenije te sjeverozapadne Srbije. Zadatak se činio lagan prema količini istražene i prikupljene građe, no bio je prilično izazovan s obzirom na višeznačne interpretacije predmeta koji su služili kao igračke predstavljene do sada u literaturi. Materijalni tragovi interpretirani su kroz kaleidoskop djetinjstva i djeteta u igri tijekom kasnoga brončanog doba na jugu Karpatske kotline.Play is a timeless activity. Toys are an indispensable source for the study of childhood in the past, but only those made of more durable materials have survived. Reconstructing play in the Late Bronze Age is a complex process – from studying objects in child graves to documenting traces of play in numerous excavated settlements. The paper tries to present traces of children’s play during the Late Bronze Age in the southern Carpathian Basin on the basis of collected material evidence and interpretations of closed contexts and chance finds. The studied contexts and finds date from the 14th to the end of the 9th century BC and come from excavated cemeteries and settlements in continental Croatia, eastern Slovenia, and northwestern Serbia. The task seemed easy, given the amount of excavated and collected material, but it was quite challenging due to the ambiguous interpretations of objects that have been presented as toys in the literature. Material traces have been interpreted through the prism of childhood and child’s play during the Late Bronze Age in the southern Carpathian Basin
Archaological finds from the site at Mile Magdića Street 8 in Senj and new insights into the topography of late Roman and medieval Senj
No full textU ovome radu obrađuje se skup keramičkih i staklenih nalaza koji su prikupljeni tijekom nestručnih iskopa provedenih u prizemlju građevine na adresi ulica Mile Magdića 8 (k.č. 584) u Senju 1989. godine. Keramički nalazi uključuju brojne ulomke amfora i manju količinu stolne keramike, dominantno iz kasnoantičkoga razdoblja. Znatno kasnijemu razdoblju 15. – 17. stoljeća može se pripisati dio otkrivenih nalaza, među kojima je zastupljena kuhinjska i stolna glazirana keramika, kao i jedna staklena čaša na nozi. Iako su informacije o stratigrafskome kontekstu nalaza nepotpune, pronađeni nalazi vrlo su značajni jer pružaju nove topografske podatke korisne za razumijevanje arheološke stratigrafije i topografije južnoga dijela senjske gradske jezgre, kao i za poznavanje trgovačkih kontakata i cirkulacije predmeta u zastupljenim razdobljima.This paper examines a collection of pottery and glass finds recovered during non-professional excavations conducted in 1989 on the ground floor of a building at Mile Magdića Street 8 (c.p. 584) in Senj. The pottery consists primarily of numerous fragments of amphorae and a smaller quantity of tableware, predominantly from the late antique period. Some of the finds, however, can be attributed to the significantly later period of the 15th-17th centuries, including kitchen and glazed tableware, as well as a single glass goblet. Although information on the stratigraphic context of the finds is incomplete, the finds are very significant because they provide new topographic data that enhance our understanding of the archaeological stratigraphy and topography of the southern part of Senj's historic core. Moreover, they shed light on trade contacts and the circulation of objects during the represented periods
Living Danube Limes Interreg project
No full textIn this paper we present major results and activities of the project Interreg Living Danube limes. The project consortium comprises 19 universities, private and public companies from 10 Danube countries, and 27 associated strategic partners. Various research gaps were closed by applying modern non-invasive archaeological geo-prospection at chosen pilot sites. A Living Danube Limes app was created to host a comprehensive and easyto-access archaeological and historical catalogue of the Danube region. Virtual and augmented reality reconstructions of the original Roman limes infrastructure was created from the data of the geophysical prosecutions at the project pilot sites and are now hosted on the Living Danube Limes app. The Institute of Archaeology from Zagreb (Croatia) and the Institute of archaeology from Belgrade (Serbia) were project partners in the consortium, and in this paper, we will present the results achieved during the project duration
Greek ceramic loom weights from Pharos on the island of Hvar
No full textTekstil se rijetko sačuva u arheološkim kontekstima te se češće koriste indirektni dokazi kako bi se utvrdile relevantne informacije o raširenosti i opsegu proizvodnje, ali i društvenim, gospodarskim i drugim kulturnim implikacijama koje se mogu iščitati iz predmeta korištenih za izradu tekstila. Jedni od najbrojnijih pokazatelja proizvodnje različitih vrsta tekstila su keramički utezi za vertikalni tkalački stan. Ovom prilikom, predstavit će se ukupno 48 grčkih utega prikupljenih prilikom zaštitnih istraživanja 1989. godine na poziciji Vukovarska 2 u Starome Gradu na otoku Hvaru. Utezi su otkriveni unutar grčke strukture, te se na temelju ostalih pronađenih pokretnih nalaza mogu datirati u kraj 4., odnosno početak 3. st. pr. Kr. Zastupljeni su piramidalni, konični, trapezoidni i diskoidni oblici, a posebno se ističe veliki postotak oznaka na njima u vidu otisaka gema i ureza simbola ili slova. Keramički utezi iz Vukovarske 2 pružaju vrijedne informacije o tkalačkom zanatu, kao i mogućnost sagledavanja njegovih najranijih faza razvoja u kontekstu grčkog grada Fara.Textiles are rarely preserved in archaeological contexts, so indirect evidence is often used to establish relevant information about the distribution and extent of production, as well as the social, economic, and other cultural implications that can be inferred from the objects used to manufacture textiles. Some of the most abundant indicators of textile production are ceramic weights for vertical looms. This paper discusses 48 Greek loom weights discovered during rescue excavations in 1989 at the site of Vukovarska 2 in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar. These loom weights were found within a Greek structure and, based on associated artifacts, are dated to the late 4th or early 3rd century BC. The loom weights are of pyramidal, conical, trapezoidal, and discoid shapes, with a significant number of markings, including gem impressions and engraved symbols or letters. These findings offer valuable insights into ancient weaving techniques and provide an opportunity to analyse the early stages of textile production in the Greek city of Pharos
The castle of Dubovac in the Late-Middle and Early-Modern Ages
Full text linkNa osnovi sagledavanja rezultata arheoloških istraživanja, analize
stratigrafije slojeva i nalaza iz arheoloških konteksta, kao i
poznatih povijesnih podataka, u radu se donose nove spoznaje
o starome gradu Dubovcu u kasnome srednjem vijeku i u ranome
novom vijeku. Ustanovljeno je da je ranorenesansni kaštel s
kraja 15./početka 16. stoljeća podignut za vrijeme obitelji Frankopan,
na ostatcima starije, vjerojatno drvene utvrde okružene
obrambenim jarkom. Ta starija utvrda podignuta je početkom 15.
stoljeća za vrijeme plemićke obitelji Zudar na mjestu na kojemu
je vjerojatno još u 13. stoljeću postojala utvrda, možda tipa romaničkoga
donjona, a kojoj se pripisuju ostatci kamene strukture
kružnoga tlocrta. O načinu života i opremi dubovačkoga grada
u ranome novom vijeku, u vrijeme Frankopana i Zrinskih, svjedoče
ulomci kuhinjskoga posuđa i drugih predmeta, a posebno stolnoga
majoličkog posuđa te reprezentativnih kaljevih peći.On the basis of an overview of the results of archaeological research,
analysis of stratigraphy of layers and finds from archaeological
contexts, as well as known historical data, the paper provides
new knowledge about the castle of Dubovac in the Late
Middle Ages and Early Modern Age. It has been found that the
early-Renaissance castle, built at the turn of the 16th century, during
the time of the Frankopan family, was built on older remains,
probably of a wooden fortress surrounded by a ditch. This older
castle was built at the beginning of the 15th century during the
time of the noble family Zudar, on a site where there was probably
a fort in the 13th century, perhaps in the style of a Romanesque
castle, and to which the remains of a stone structure with
a circular ground-plan are attributed. Fragments of kitchenware
and other objects, especially majolica tableware and noteworthy
clay stoves, testify to the way of life and equipment of the castle
of Dubovac in the early Modern Age, at the time of the Frankopan
and Zrinski families
The Late La Tène bronze vessels in the south-eastern Carpathian Basin
No full textThe appearance of Late Republican bronze vessels in rich Late La Tène graves or prominent settlements in the south‑eastern Carpathian Basin is usually associated with concepts such as status symbols, feasting and rituals and associated with prominent members of the society. Considered “luxury” items obtained and usually used primarily by the elite, vessels such as Pescate type simpula, Aylesford type pans or strainers have been largely used in chronological discussions or contemplations on contacts between the Romans and the locals, in the case of the lower Sava and middle Danube valleys the Scordiscan communities. Trade contacts, changing identities and convivial practices mentioned in such discussions relied on a limited number of finds, among which grave assemblages featured prominently. While such finds are expected on fortified settlements, considered as prominent centres of the Late La Tène communities, new data shows a significant increase of bronze vessel finds on lowland, rural sites. Previously unpublished finds show the appearance of more commonly found types such as the aforementioned pans or simpula, but also fragments of rarer types such as jugs, a cauldron and a situla. Furthermore, the concentration of findspots in a geographically limited area of the eastern Slavonia and western Syrmia suggests a much wider availability of such objects, allowing to approach the concept of bronze vessels distribution in Scordiscan territory from a fresh perspective
Results of LiDAR and field surveys of the Prigorje area
No full textProjekt TRANS RIVERS, financiran od strane Hrvatske zaklade za znanost, bavi se proučavanjem prapovijesnih lokaliteta i komunikacijskih putova uz rijeke Savu, Sutlu i Krapinu na području Prigorja. Spomenuti prostor predstavlja izazovan krajolik za arheološka istraživanja zbog prirodnih čimbenika (poplava i erozija), ali i onih uzrokovanih čovjekom (kamenolomi i urbanizacija). Jedan od glavnih ciljeva projekta je ubiciranje novih lokaliteta na području Marijagoričkog pribrežja te obronaka Medvednice koji nisu bili pod utjecajem ranije navedenih destruktivnih procesa. LiDAR-sko snimanje najbolje je odgovaralo ovim istraživačkim problemima. U okviru ovog istraživanja upotrijebljeni su podaci s tri različita projekta laserskog skeniranja iz zraka kako bi se osigurala odgovarajuća pokrivenost područja istraživanja. U ovom radu predstavljeni su preliminarni rezultati prvih provedenih terenskih istraživanja i interpretacije LiDAR-skih podataka s posebnim osvrtom na prapovijesne lokalitete koji su u fokusu projekta.The TRANS RIVERS project, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation, deals with the study of prehistoric sites and communication routes along the Sava, Sutla, and Krapina rivers in the Croatian region of Prigorje. The area presents a challenging landscape for archaeological study due to factors that can be natural (flooding and erosion) or man-made (quarrying and urbanization). One of the main goals of the project is identifying new sites in the area of Marija Gorica hills and the slopes of Medvednica Mountain, which have not been influenced by the above-mentioned destructive processes. LiDAR imaging was best suited to these research problems. Within the scope of the project, we utilized data from three different airborne laser scanning surveys to ensure proper coverage of the research area. This paper presents the preliminary results of our first field surveys and LiDAR data interpretations, with particular regard to the prehistoric sites that are in the focus of the TRANS RIVERS project
Vidljivost rustičnih vila na otoku Korčuli u BAZI antičkih lokaliteta Republike Hrvatske
No full textDominantni oblik naseljavanja jadranskih otoka su svakako bile rustične vile od samih početaka rimske okupacije jadranskog prostora pa sve do kasnoantičkih vremena. Dinamika podizanja, širenja, pregrađivanja te kasnoantičke transformacije vila prisutna je na cijelom jadranskom prostoru. Dosadašnja pretežno topografska istraživanja otoka Korčule od strane brojnih stručnjaka i znanstvenika te arheološka sustavna i zaštitna istraživanja omogućila su prikupljanje znatne količine podataka koji su okupljeni, uz ostale brojne podatke i značajnu opsežnu bibliografiju, u BAZI antičkih lokaliteta Republike Hrvatske. Pretraživanjem različitih upita u tražilici BAZE moguće je doći do raznovrsnih podataka koji mogu biti temelj pri istraživanju problematike rustičnih vila i stanju istraženosti na Korčuli te prikupiti objedinjenu bibliografiju za ovu temu čija važnost prelazi lokalni karakter
