Pokrovnik – An Example of an Enclosed Neolithic Settlement
Get PDFU članku se iznose rezultati istraživanja provedenih od 2010. do 2011. i 2013. na neolitičkom nalazištu impresokeramičke i danilske kulture Pokrovnik kod Drniša, na kojem su već prethodno iskopavanja vodila dva druga istraživača: Z. Brusić 1979. i A. M. T. Moore 2006. Uz osnovne podatke o stratigrafskim odnosima i općoj kulturološkoj slici te ostatcima različitih vrsta nastambi, izlaganje je posebno koncentrirano na otkriće masivnih kamenih struktura čije postojanje nije ustanovljeno samo arheološkim iskopavanjem nego je geofizičkim istraživanjima potvrđeno na čitavoj površini nalazišta. Masivnost i broj tih struktura upućuju na postojanje složenog sustava ograđivanja naselja istovrsnim kamenim strukturama.The paper presents results of the excavations conducted from 2010 to 2011, and in 2013, in Pokrovnik near Drniš, the Neolithic site with phases of the Impressed Ware and Danilo cultures. The site had already been excavated by two other researchers: Z. Brusić in 1979 and A. M. T. Moore in 2006. In addition to presentation of stratigraphic relations and general culturological image, special attention is paid to recovery of massive stone structures whose existence was not only attested in the archaeological excavations but it was also confirmed by geophysical surveys in the entire area of the site. Massiveness and number of these structures indicate to presence of a complex enclosure system of the settlement with identical stone structures
On Burial Practices in the Southern Carpathian Basin in the 11th Century BC (Case Study: Cemetery in Slatina)
Get PDFVrijeme 11. st. pr. Kr. na jugu Karpatske kotline obilježila je kultura polja sa žarama. Kasnobrončanodobno groblje u Slatini, istraženo 2009. godine, prema tipološko-kronološkoj analizi prikupljenih keramičkih i metalnih nalaza datira se u Ha A2 stupanj prema H. Müller-Karpeu. Apsolutni radiokarbonski datumi iz grobova u Slatini upućuju na vrijeme 11. st. pr. Kr. Istraženih 38 grobova nudi mogućnost rekonstrukcije pogrebnih običaja u središnjem dijelu Podravine, a geografski položaj Slatine omogućuje povezivanje dokumentiranih pogrebnih običaja sa širom komunikacijskom mrežom istovremenih istraženih groblja na širem prostoru južnog dijela Karpatske kotline.The 11th cent. BC in the southern Carpathian Basin was marked by the Urnfield culture. The typological and chronological analysis of the ceramic and metal finds collected in the Late Bronze Age cemetery in Slatina, excavated in 2009, date the cemetery to the Ha A2 phase according to the periodization of H. Müller-Karpe. Absolute radiocarbon dating from the Slatina graves suggests the period of the 11th cent. BC. The analyzed 38 graves give the opportunity to reconstruct the burial practices on the central Drava, while the geographic location of Slatina makes it possible to relate the observed burial practices with the wider communication network of the researched contemporary cemeteries in the wider area of the southern Carpathian Basin
Results of the Archaeological topography of the Island of Rab project in 2015: field surveys, processing of archaeological finds, popularization of science
Get PDFTijekom treće kampanje terenskih pregleda otoka Raba koji se provode u sklopu projekta „Arheološka topografija otoka Raba“ (Institut za arheologiju u suradnji s Konzervatorskim odjelom u Rijeci), pregledana su područja MO Kampor (poluotok Kalifront), MO Supertarska draga (okolica Fruge), MO Banjol i MO Barbat, te su provjerene pojedine lokacije u općini Lopar. Zahvaljujući podršci Grada Raba naknadno je organiziran podmorski pregled podmorja ispred lokaliteta Mirine i Valmartina koji su identificirani tijekom istraživanja 2014. g., a koji je proveo Odjel za arheologiju Sveučilišta u Zadru. Osim toga u sklopu projekta pokrenuto je katalogiziranje Arheološke zbirke samostana Sv. Bernardina Sijenskog u Kamporu te uključivanje u manifestaciju Noć Muzeja.As part of the Archaeological topography of the Island of Rab project, field surveys were carried out in October 2015 in the territory of the City of Rab municipality. The research is carried out in collaboration with the Conservation Department in Rijeka, financed by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Rab.
The recorded sites and positions were georeferenced, photographs were taken on site and data was recorded in previously designed forms. All data will be entered into the GIS designed specifically for the project. The sites included in the survey relate to all time periods, with significantly numerous sacral and medieval ones. Apart from those already mentioned in the literature, the research located a previously unknown prehistoric site. The results of the underwater survey in Barbatski Channel are ex¬tremely relevant because they confirmed underwater docking structures in front of Mirine site, previously identified during the project's seurveys. In collaboration with the company Novena, aerial footage of chosen sites was taken, and thanks to the data gathered while preparing the catalogue of the archaeological collection of the St. Bernardino of Siena Monastery in Kampor, the project also participated at the Night of Museums manifestation
Graves from the Certosa Phase in Early Iron Age Barrow 48 at Stična
No full textU svojoj studiji o halštatskim tumulima iz Stične objavljenoj u monografiji Stična II/2 (Ljubljana 2010), Stane Gabrovec na slici 21 predstavio je tablicu i na slici 23 plan s tipičnim grobovima četiriju kronoloških faza u tumulu 48. Četvrtoj fazi koja bi trebala odgovarati certoškom stupnju dolenjske halštatske skupine, pripisao je samo dvanaest grobova, koji su svi osim jednoga pripadali ženama. Međutim, četiri od tih grobova zapravo su stariji. S druge strane, barem dvadeset osam drugih grobova certoškoga stupnja u tumulu 48, kako ženskih tako i muških, trebalo bi pridodati broju od osam ispravno datiranih grobova četvrte faze. Neki od tih grobova vrlo su bogati te pružaju velike mogućnosti za novu tipološku i kronološku analizu ovoga stupnja.In his study on the Hallstatt barrows from Stična published in the monograph Stična II/2 (Ljubljana 2010), Stane Gabrovec presented in Figure 21 a table and in Figure 23 a ground plan with typical graves from four chronological phases in barrow 48. He assigned only twelve graves, all but one female, to the fourth phase, which should correspond to the Certosa phase of the Dolenjska group of the Hallstatt culture. Four of these, however, are in reality earlier. On the other hand, at least twenty-eight other Certosa phase graves from barrow 48, both female and male, should be added to the eight correctly dated graves from the fourth phase. Some of them are very rich, and have high potential for a new typological and chronological analysis of this phase
Rezultati terenskih pregleda na području podvelebitskog Primorja i neposrednog zaleđa
No full textThe first field survey season carried out in October 2015 by the Institute of Archaeology in collaboration with the Conservation Department in Gospić in the territory of the City of Senj and local boards of Sv. Juraj, Krivi Put, Krasno polje, Vratnik and Starigrad senjski settlement, was aimed to revise, pinpoint, document (preliminary) and georeference archaeological sites dating to all periods. Documentation methodology for the sites and positions included registration of the GPS coordinates, recording of main features of locations and finds using appropriate forms, photodocumentation and collection of representative small finds. Data collected in this way will be entered into the GIS with a relational database, which will help with further analysis.
Out of 10 sites and 8 positions traced during the revision, six can be attributed to prehistory, with two Antique and Medieval sites, respectively. Most of the prehistoric sites are hillforts, most notably LOK 9 - Starigrad senjski (south slopes). LOK 10 - Vratnik is particularly interesting for the Antique period where a large quantity of pottery and glass finds from the Antique/Late Antique period was found west of St. Michael's (Sv. Mihovil) church.U sklopu “Programa kulturnog razvitka 2015. g.” Ministarstva kulture, Konzervatorski odjel u Gospiću i Institut za arhe¬ologiju pokrenuli su projekt arheološke topografije Ličko-senjske županije. Glavni cilj projekta jest unaprijediti spoznaje o arheološkoj baštini Ličko-senjske županije, a 2015. g. pristupilo se sjevernom podvelebitskom području. U tu su svrhu ream-bulirani lokaliteti i područja poznata iz literature ili o čijem su postojanju izvijestili kolege i kazivači. Ukupno je tijekom prve kampanje terenskih pregleda podvelebitskog primorja između Krivog puta i Starigrada senjskog, te na području Krasnog Polja i Vratnika, zabilježeno 10 lokaliteta i 8 pozicija
Roman pottery production complex in Crikvenica – conclusive research in 2015
Get PDFU tekstu se donose rezultati posljednje sezone sustavnih arheoloških istraživanja antičkog keramičarskog kompleksa u Crikvenici koja je Institut za arheologiju provodio u razdoblju od 2006. do 2015. godine. Poseban naglasak ovogodišnjih istraživanja bio je usmjeren na definiranje pojedinih, do sada dvojbenih faza, oblikovanja i korištenja radioničkog prostora s ciljem oblikovanja završnih znanstvenih zaključaka.The research at the "Igralište" site in Crikvenica (within the Ad Turres Roman settlement) carried out from 2006 to 2015 has resulted in extremely valuable scientific data about the regional pottery production complex of Sextus Metilius Maximus. The research into the surrounding landscape, which was an integral part of our project, pointed out that the choice of location for establishing a workshop was important because of the quantity and availability of natural resources (clay, wood, water), a nearby communication network, both on land and sea, vicinity of urban centres and good climate.
This year, the research was carried out within the RED project of the Croatian Science Foundation (IP-11-2013-3973), and three phases of spatial organization were defined for the so-called northern production sector. For the first and earliest phase, a sequence of rooms partitioned by walls whose lower layers were built of tegulas was uncovered. Different types of flooring suggest differences in the usage of these rooms. During the next two phases, the initial layout of the workshop had been considerably expanded destroying some of the boundary walls from the previous phase. A tendency to unify smaller separate spatial units within a purposefully organized space is noticeable. Numerous upgrades, adaptations and leveling of the floors point out the need for reorganization of the workshop and adaptation to increasing demand which can be traced back from the mid-1st century to the early 2nd century, when the peak of production at Crikvenica's pottery complex had been reached
Project Late Mousterian in the eastern Adriatic – towards understanding of late Neanderthals’ identity and Their Demise: Summary of the 2nd and 3rd years of research
Get PDFČlanak donosi pregled aktivnosti i preliminarne rezultate arheoloških istraživanja srednjopaleolitičkih nalazišta u Dalmaciji te geoloških istraživanja u okviru kojih su provedena bušenja potencijalnih nalazišta. Aktivnosti su ostvarene provedbom druge i treće godine projekta Kasni musterijen na istočnom Jadranu – temelj za razumijevanje identiteta kasnih neandertalaca i njihovog nestanka Hrvatske zaklade za znanost. Terenski je rad najvećim dijelom bio usmjeren na nastavak istraživanja Velike pećine u Kličevici i podvodnoga paleolitičkog nalazišta Kaštel Štafilić – Resnik. Provedeno je također probno istraživanje jednog nalazišta u zaleđu Kaštela (Giljanovići/Karanušići) i geološka bušenja.The paper reports on the activities and preliminary results of archaeological research of Middle Palaeolithic sites in Dalmatia and geological research consisting of drilling at potential sites. The activities were carried out within the framework of the second and third years of the research project Late Mousterian in the Eastern Adriatic – towards understanding of late Neanderthals’ identity and their demise, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. The fieldwork mostly focused on the continuation of excavation at Velika pećina in Kličevica and research at underwater Palaeolithic site of Kaštel Štafilić – Resnik, in addition to the test excavation of a site in the hinterland of Kaštela (Giljanovići/Karanušići) and geological drillings
Towards Methodological Principles for Experience Textile Archaeology. Experimental Approach to the Aegean Bronze Age Textile Techniques in the Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw
Get PDFEksperimentalna arheologija često se koristi u istraživanju tekstila i tekstilne proizvodnje u pretpovijesti s ciljem da se objasne operativni aspekti proizvodnje tekstila i funkcionalnosti alatki za obradu tekstila, za proučavanje procesa oštećenja i propadanja tkanine, kao i za rekonstrukciju drevnih tekstila i odjeće. „Iskustvena tekstilna arheologija” jest termin kojim se opisuju ispitivanja i pokušaji eksperimentalnog karaktera koje provode osobe koje nisu vješti obrtnici kako bi se kroz vlastitu praksu upoznali s tehnikama proizvodnje tekstila. Iako je važnost iskustvene arheologije kao pedagoškog alata već prije prepoznata, iskustveni pristup rijetko stvara analogije koje bi se mogle dalje koristiti u akademskoj raspravi. Međutim, prema mišljenju autorice, iskustveni testovi i pokusi, ako su dobro pripremljeni, zabilježeni i provedeni kroz dulje razdoblje, također mogu doprinijeti povećanju znanja o tekstilnom obrtu prošlih društava. Autorica je predstavila metodološke principe koji se preporučuju za iskustvene aktivnosti, a odnose se na ispitivanja provedena uz pomoć studenata arheologije Sveučilišta u Varšavi.Experimental archaeology is commonly employed in the research on textiles and textile production in prehistory, in order to explain the operational aspects of textile manufacturing and the functionality of textile tools, to investigate fabric wear and decomposition processes, and to reconstruct ancient textiles and costumes. ‘Experience textile archaeology’ is a term which describes tests and trials of experiential character performed by actors who are not skilled craftspeople in order to get them acquainted with textile production techniques through practice. Although the importance of experience archaeology as a pedagogical tool has already been acknowledged, the experience approach rarely generates analogies that could be further exploited in the academic discourse. However, in the author’s opinion, experiential tests and trials, if well scheduled, documented and conducted over a longer period of time, may also contribute to improving the knowledge of textile craft of societies of the past. The methodological principles henceforth suggested for experience activities have been introduced by the author and concern tests conducted with students of archaeology at the University of Warsaw
A loom from Virje
No full textPodravski lokalitet Virje sa svoja dva položaja, Volarskim bregom i Sušinama, poznat je kao arheološko nalazište već više desetljeća, a zaštitna su se iskopavanja provodila od 2008. do 2014. godine. U višegodišnjim istraživanjima koja je proveo Institut za arheologiju pronađeni su ostaci talioničke radionice, ali i naseobinski ostaci iz ranoga i razvijenoga srednjeg vijeka te kasne antike, dok su u onima provedenim od strane Muzeja grada Koprivnice (2010. g.) pronađeni tragovi naselja iz starijeg i mlađega željeznog doba. Tijekom proljeća 2014. g. na položaju Sušine, blagom uzvišenju uz kanal Čivičevac, provedena su geofizička istraživanja na temelju čijih rezultata je odabrana pozicija za zaštitna arheološka iskopavanja koja su se odvijala početkom studenoga iste godine. Ciljano odabrana sonda, pozicionirana na mjestu pretpostavljenog objekta, dala je vrijedne rezultate. Pronađen je veći ukopan objekt pravokutnog oblika tlocrta. U njegovom sjevernom dijelu bio je smješten tkalački stan, čiji su ostaci pronađeni in situ u vidu tridesetak većih cjelovito očuvanih glinenih utega. Nakon uklanjanja utega, uz okomite stjenke objekta, uočena je sivkasta tvorevina za koju se pretpostavlja da je trag istrunule pravilne drvene grede koja je činila sastavni dio tkalačkog stana. Na istočnom i zapadnom dijelu ukopa objekta pronađena su dva željezna predmeta čiju namjenu nije moguće sa sigurnošću utvrditi. Razlike u oblikovanju i težini utega te njihov položaj unutar istražene cjeline kao i tragovi uporabe na pojedinim od njih, potakli su autorice na eksperimentalni pristup sagledavanja izgleda pronađenog tkalačkog stana. Na temelju provedenih eksperimenata zaključuje se o mogućem načinu korištenja utega, odnosno tkalačkog stana, vrsti i debljini pređe te izgledu tkanja i tkanine. O vremenu korištenja tkalačkog stana zaključuje se na temelju prikupljenih keramičkih ulomaka iz objekta koji se vežu uz latensko razdoblje.Virje, a site in the Podravina region, with its two positions – Volarski breg and Sušine – has been known as an archaeological site for several decades. Salvage excavations were carried out there between 2008 and 2014. The several-year-long excavations by the Institute of Archaeology yielded the remains of a smelting workshop, in addition to the habitation remains from the Early and High Middle Ages and Late Antiquity, while the 2010 excavations, carried out by the Koprivnica Municipal Museum, revealed traces of a settlement from the Early and Late Iron Ages. Based on the results of a geophysical research carried out in spring 2014 at Sušine, a gentle elevation next to the Čivičevac canal, a position was selected for subsequent salvage archaeological excavations, which were carried out in November the same year. The trench, carefully positioned at the place of a supposed structure, yielded valuable results: a large sunken structure of rectangular plan. Its northern part had accommodated a loom, with in situ remains consisting of around thirty completely preserved clay weights. After the weights had been removed, a greyish feature was observed by the edge of the structure, presumably the remains of a decayed straight wooden beam that formed part of the loom. The function of the two iron objects found in the eastern and western parts of the trench cannot be ascertained. Differences in the shape and mass of the weights, in addition to their position in the excavated context, as well as the usewear traces on some weights, inspired the authors to adopt an experimental approach in the interpretation of the appearance of the loom. Based on the conducted experiments, conclusions are put forward regarding the possible way the weights and loom were used, the type and thickness of the thread and the appearance of the weaving and the fabric. The conclusion about the date in which the loom was used is based on the collected pottery fragments from the structure, which belong to the La Tene period
Tipologija rimske keramike iz Vinkovaca
No full textOvom prilikom obrađuju se keramički nalazi s četiri lokaliteta u Vinkovcima koji su istraženi u različitim razdobljima pod vodstvom Gradskog muzeja Vinkovci i njegovih djelatnika (Vinkovci – Šokadija, Vinkovci – Varteks, Vinkovci – Muzej i Vinkovci – Komercijalna banka). Glavni cilj rada je predstaviti tipologiju keramičkog posuđa koja bi mogla pomoći stvaranju buduće baze kojom bi se omogućilo lakše savladavanje vinkovačkog keramičkog materijala koja ne samo da je zahtjevna količinom, nego i tipološkom raznolikošću. Postavljanjem osnovne baze moći ćemo i posložiti i predložiti pitanja koja ćemo postavljati u daljnjim analizama bilo da je riječ o arheometrijskom ili tradicionalnom arheološkom pristupu
