Kalnik – Igrišče – results of archaeological excavations in 2017 and 2018
Get PDFTijekom 2017. i 2018. godine Institut za arheologiju nastavio je sa sustavnim arheološkim iskopavanjem na lokalitetu Kalnik – Igrišče. Ispod arheoloških zapisa koji ukazuju da se na tom prostoru, tijekom kasnog Ha B stupnja prema relativnoj kronologiji, odvijala metalurška aktivnost, otkriveno je višeslojno urušenje starijeg objekta stambeno-radnog karaktera koji se također datira u Ha B stupanj. Osim toga, istraženi su i ostaci objekta iz prijelaza Ha A u Ha B stupanj koji je dijelom oštećen graditeljskim intervencijama iz mlađe faze kulture polja sa žarama. Arheološki je ustanovljen snažan kontinuitet života tijekom kasnog brončanog doba, a karakter nalaza kao i promjene u načinu korištenja prostora pokazatelj su dinamičnih drušveno-gospodarskih promjena.In 2017 and 2018, the Institute of Archaeology continued the systematic archaeological excavations on the Kalnik – Igrišče site. Under the archaeological records indicating metallurgical activities in the area during the late Ha B phase according to relative chronology, the excavations uncovered a collapsed multi-layered older structure of a residential/work nature, which has been dated also to the Ha B phase. Moreover, the research revealed the remains of a structure from the transition phase of Ha A to Ha B phase, which was largely damaged by building interventions from the earlier phase of the Urnfield culture. From the archaeological aspect, a strong continuity of life in the Late Bronze Age has been identified; the character of the finds and the changes in the mode of the site usage indicate dynamic social/economic changes
Results of the rescue excavation on the Late Avar cemetery on the site Šarengrad – Klopare in 2017
Get PDFDruga sezona zaštitnih istraživanja kasnoavarodobnoga groblja na redove Šarengrad – Klopare potvrdila je te obogatila dosadašnje spoznaje o razdoblju 8. stoljeća u Hrvatskome Podunavlju. Istraživanja su bila usmjerena na površinu groblja koja se pruža u nastavku sonde I prema istoku te su rezultirala otkrićem novih redova groblja s izuzetno bogato opremljenim grobovima, pri čemu se izdvaja otkriće drvene grobne arhitekture u nekoliko grobova. U iznimno duboko ukopanim grobnim rakama pronađeni su pokopi konjanika s konjima te grob ratnika s palašem i pojasnom garniturom, dok su u grobovima žena zabilježeni predmeti nakita od kojih se izdvajaju srebrne lunulaste naušnice sa zvjezdolikim privjeskom. Pronađeno je i nekoliko dječjih ukopa za koje su karakteristične pliće ukopane grobne rake. Istraživanjima je definiran smjer pružanja groblja koje za sada predstavlja prvo arheološki istraživano kasnovarodobno groblje u Hrvatskome Podunavlju.The second season of the rescue archaeological excavation of the Late Avar period cemetery on the Šarengrad – Klopare site confirmed and enriched the knowledge of period of the 8th century in the Croatian Danube Region. The research was focused on the area of the cemetery stretching to the east, resulting in the discovery of new rows of burials (Fig. 1–2) with extremely richly equipped graves (Fig. 3–5), highlighting the discovery of grave wooden architecture in several graves (Fig. 6). The deceased were laid in very deep grave pits (Fig. 3). The most prominent are burials of horsemen with horses and their equipment (Figs. 4–5) and a grave of warrior with a single-edge curved sword and belt set were found (Fig. 9; 12). Females are accompanied by objects of costume and jewellery as well as items for everyday use. Outstanding are silver lunulus earrings (Fig. 11). Several children’s burials were also found, characterized by shallow buried grave pits. Ceramic vessels and remains of animal bones testify to the funeral ritual (Fig. 7). The research has defined the direction of the spreading of the cemetery, which for the time being is the first archeologically investigated Late Avar cemetery dated to the 8th century in the Croatian Danube Region
Nove spoznaje o kronologiji groblja Batina – Sredno na početku starijega željeznog doba
No full textBatina (Kiskőszeg) is one of the most significant sites in the southern Carpathian Basin from the end of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age. For more than a century, Batina has been the source of many exceptional finds, now stored in the collections of several European museums, which are considered to originate from destroyed funerary complexes and which helped define the chronology of the development of the Dalj Group. A systematic field survey was done to determine the location of the Dalj Group cemetery in Batina. Its results indicated that the cemetery could have been located in Sredno, a site south of the contemporary settlement on Gradac. This was followed by archaeological excavations in Sredno, which revealed many cremation graves of the Dalj Group from the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age. The graves contained ceramic, metal and glass finds, confirming the earlier hypotheses about the great significance of Batina as an important southern Pannonian centre from the end of the 2nd millennium BC and the first centuries of the 1st millennium BC, which stood on an important communication line along the Danube.Jedno od najznačajnijih nalazišta na jugu Karpatske kotline za kraj kasnoga brončanog i početak starijega željeznog doba predstavlja Batina (Kiskőszeg). Iz Batine je već više od stoljeća poznat niz iznimnih nalaza, danas pohranjenih u nekoliko europskih muzejskih zbirki, za koje se pretpostavlja kako potječu iz uništenih grobnih cjelina, a poslužili su u kronološkom definiranju razvoja daljske grupe. S ciljem određivanja položaja groblja daljske grupe u Batini, proveden je sustavni terenski pregled čiji su rezultati ukazali na mogući položaj groblja na položaju Sredno južno od istovremenoga naselja na Gracu. Potom je uslijedila provedba arheoloških iskopavanja na Srednom u kojima su otkriveni brojni paljevinski grobovi daljske grupe iz kasnoga brončanog i s početka starijega željeznog doba. U grobovima su pronađeni keramički, metalni i stakleni nalazi koji su potvrdili dosadašnje pretpostavke o iznimnoj važnosti Batine kao istaknutoga južnopanonskog centra s kraja 2. i prvih stoljeća 1. tis. pr. Kr. smještenoga na važnoj komunikaciji koja je slijedila tok Dunava
Slavonski Brod – Galovo, archaeological research in 2017
No full textTijekom srpnja 2017. godine Institut za arheologiju iz Zagreba proveo je nastavak sustavnih arheoloških istraživanja na zemljištu Galovo u sjeveroistočnom dijelu Slavonskog Broda. Tom je prilikom istražena površina od 55 m2 na jugozapadnom rubnom dijelu dosadašnjeg iskopa koja se uglavnom poklapa s površinom snimljenom geofizičkim metodama 2016. godine. Djelomično su istražena dva veća jamska objekta i definiran veći broj ostataka drvenih stupova različitih dimenzija. Ustanovljeno je da su ova dva veća objekta znatno pliće ukopana od ostalih istraženih jamskih objekata na ovom nalazištu, a prema pokretnoj građi da je riječ o najmlađoj fazi naselja. Arheološka istraživanja su također potvrdila rezultate geofizičkih istraživanja provedenih 2016. godine.Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb continued systematic archaeological excavations at Galovo site near Slavonski Brod in July 2017. The area of 55 m2 on the southwestern edge of the previously excavated part of the settlement was explored. This area mostly coincides with the surface surveyed by geophysical methods in 2016 (Botić 2017a: 144, Fig. 3). Two larger pit features (Figs. 1–3) were partially investigated and a large number of wooden posts of different dimensions were defined. Those two larger features are considerably shallowly dug in than the rest of the pit features from this site indicating younger phase of the settlement. This phase, defined for the first time during this year’s excavation, can be determined as the youngest according to ceramic finds which partly, instead of chaff tempering, exhibit sand tempering or tempering with admixtures of stone and chipped stone debris (Fig. 6)
Continuation of archaeological and conservation works on the keep of the Vrbovec Castle in Klenovec Humski in 2017
Get PDFObavljena je treća sezona konzervatorskih radova na arheološki otkrivenoj kuli burga Vrbovca u Klenovcu Humskome. Svi veći zidarski radovi na kuli zgotovljeni su, a postavljanjem drenažne cijevi izvedeni su i pripremni radovi za odvod oborinskih voda s vrha kule i iz njezine unutrašnjosti u kojoj su očuvani ostaci dviju izvornih podnica.The Institute of Archaeology continued the conservation works on the masonry walls of the Vrbovec Castle in Klenovec Humski in 2017. The main approach was to fix and consolidate the preserved architectural remains of the castle, without any reconstruction or upgrading. However, some reconstruction work was inevitable, especially on the inner walls of the keep, on its very top. The original building technique was respected as much as possible.
All major masonry conservation work on the keep in this season is finalized, and the preparatory works for the drainage of rainwater from the top of the tower and from its interior have also been carried out. The inner part of the tower with preserved remains of the original flooring is planned to be conserved in the next season, so that the entire surface is going to be covered by the filling of sterile clay and sealed with a layer of flooring imitation
First archaeological excavations of the Stari Grad site in Pakrac in 2017
Get PDFTijekom lipnja i srpnja 2017. godine provedeno je arheološko istraživanje na lokalitetu Pakrac – Stari grad u samom centru grada Pakraca. Na temelju georadarskih istraživanja određene su tri sonde. Sve su istražene sonde dale zanimljive rezultate, premda ne uvijek i u skladu s očekivanjima. Otkriveni su 4 m debeli zidovi jedne od pakračkih kula (sonda 3), zidovi čvrste i dobro građene građevine – možda ostaci gotičke ivanovačke crkve u dvorištu njihova grada (sonda 1) te brojni zidovi ali i pokretni nalazi koji uglavnom potječu iz vremena kada su Pakracom vladale Osmanlije (sonda 2).During June and July 2017 an archaeological research of the Pakrac – Stari Grad site was carried out. Based on georadar research, three probes were established. All three yielded interesting results, although not always such as were expected. Four meters wide walls of one of the Pakrac towers were discovered (Probe 3), as well as the walls of a solid and well-built structure – possible remains of the gothic Hospitaller Church in the backyard of the city (Probe 1) and numerous walls and movable finds, mainly dating to the times of the Ottoman rule over the town (Probe 2)
Probe archaeological excavations around the Zrinski Tower and Patačić Palace in the central town park in Vrbovec in 2017
No full textSondažna arheološka istraživanja provedena su oko Dvora Patačić i tzv. Kule Zrinskih u Vrbovcu radi uvida u stanje i strukturu temelja objekata, utvrđivanja arheoloških slojeva i struktura. Dodatni cilj otvorenih sondi oko Kule Zrinskih bio je pokušati definirati tragove i dispoziciju kaštela Patačićevih, od kojega je danas jedini nadzemni trag upravo navedena kula, te ispitati eventualni kontinuitet slojevitosti ovog platoa u kasnom srednjem vijeku. Pronađeni su ostaci plitko temeljenih struktura zidanih od opeke ili kamena i opeke, a preliminarno možemo zaključiti da je riječ o više faza graditeljskih aktivnosti kroz novovjekovno razdoblje.In the fall 2017 probe archaeological investigations around the Dvor Patačić (Patačić Palace) and the so-called Kula Zrinski (Zrinski Tower) in Vrbovec were conducted in order to gain the insight into the state and structure of the foundations of the buildings, archaeological layers and other structures. An additional goal of the opened trenches around Kula Zrinski was to try to define the remains and the disposition of the Patačić Castle, from which the only preserved part is just mentioned tower, and to examine the possible continuity of the location from the late Middle Ages. The remains of shallow-founded structures of masonry brickwork or shallow foundations made of stone with brick have been found, and preliminary considerations point to the fact that there have been several phases of building activities through the Modern Era period
Archaeological research of the St. Martin’s Church in Prozorje in 2017
Get PDFTijekom rujna i listopada 2017. godine nastavljena su – nakon osmogodišnje pauze – arheološka istraživanja crkve Sv. Martina na lokalitetu Prozorje (Martin-Breg) u Dugom Selu. Istraživana je jedna sonda (sonda VI) koja se prostirala cijelom površinom broda crkve. Ispod humusnog sloja nastaloga nakon napuštanja crkve, otkrivena su pojedina popločenja ali i druge strukture poput grobnica, kripte, baza stupova koji su držali kor i slično. Istraženo je 19 grobova, u većini grobova pronađeni su „posebni nalazi“, a u čak 47% njih pronađeni su nabožni predmeti. Uglavnom se radi o medaljicama, križevima, cijelim krunicama ili pojedinim njihovim zrnima. Još više posebnih nalaza prikupljeno je u izmiješanom sloju, tu su uz navedene kategorije nalaženi i brojni novci, gumbi, ulomci keramike i stakla, a osobito se ističe nalaz brončanog brevara. Razlog tako velikom broju moglo bi biti često prekopavanje i ponovno ukapanje unutar broda crkve, pri čemu su mnogi grobovi bili uništeni, a slično nam govori i velika količina ljudskih kostiju pronađena u izmiješanom sloju.During September and October 2017, after an eight-year break, archaeological research of the church of St. Martin at the site Prozorje (Martin-Breg) in Dugo Selo, continued. One probe (Probe 6) was explored, covering the entire surface of the church’s aisle. Below the humus layer that accumulated after the church went out of use, some paving and other structures, such as tombs, crypts, columns that held the choir and like, were discovered. Nineteen graves in total were explored and in most of them ‘special finds’ were discovered. In 47 % of them religious objects were found. They are mostly medallions, crucifixes, rosaries or parts of rosaries. Even more special finds was collected in the mixed layers. Among the abovementioned categories of finds there were also numerous coins, buttons, fragments of pottery and glass and the, especially outstanding, bronze breviary. The reason for such a large number of finds could lay in frequent digging and re-burying within the church’s aisle during which many graves were destroyed. A large number of human bones found in the mixed layer support this theory
Pottery Production, Landscape and Economy of Roman Dalmatia. Interdisciplinary approaches
No full textPottery Production, Landscape and Economy of Roman Dalmatia: Interdisciplinary approaches offers results of work on RED - Roman Economy in Dalmatia: production, distribution and demand in the light of pottery workshops (IP-11-2013-3973) project. It presents interdisciplinary research carried out on the Roman sites of pottery workshops active within the coastal area of the province of Dalmatia as well as on material recovered during the excavations. The presentation revolves around three thematic units: workshops and their products together with their role in the local provincial economy, location of workshops within the landscape, and archaeometric research which connects the two. These combined approaches contribute to the study of ceramic production in the area whereas new methodological approaches to the subject allow for the placement of pottery workshops in the broader context of Roman economy and landscape and natural resources of the eastern Adriatic
Ljubljana i Cetina: lončarski stilovi 3. tisućljeća prije Krista na prostoru istočnoga Jadrana
Get PDFThis contribution provides a new synthetic overview of the eastern Adriatic pottery styles of the third millennium BC, based on 146 sites from which characteristic pottery has been published. Parting with the traditional concepts of archaeological cultures and periods, it first seeks clear definitions of Ljubljana-Adriatic and Cetina pottery styles. It follows with a critical reexamination of the evidence that, up to the present, has been used for the dating of those styles: stratigraphic information from stratified sites and the association of characteristic pottery with objects made of metal. This is followed by a pioneering attempt to date the same styles by using the available radiocarbon dates. In conclusion, Ljubljana-Adriatic and Cetina styles are placed in their wider spatial and temporal context.Ovaj rad nudi nov sintetički pregled lončarskih stilova trećega tisućljeća prije Krista na prostoru istočnoga Jadrana, temeljen na 146 nalazišta s objavljenom karakterističnom lončarijom. Odmičući se od tradicionalnih koncepata arheoloških kultura i razdoblja, najprije se nastoji jasno definirati ljubljansko-jadranski i cetinski lončarski stil. Potom se kritički preispituje građa koja je dosad bila korištena za datiranje tih stilova: stratigrafski podaci iz višeslojnih nalazišta i asocijacije karakteristične lončarije s metalnim nalazima. Slijedi prvi pokušaj približnoga datiranja spomenutih stilova putem raspoloživih radiokarbonskih datuma. U zaključku rada, ljubljansko-jadranski i cetinski stil smještaju se na temelju svega iznesenog u svoj širi prostorni i vremenski kontekst
