A grave of the Barice-Gređani cultural group from Malinovac near Našice
Get PDFTijekom 2009. i 2010. godine proveden je niz zaštitnih arheoloških istraživanja na trasi magistralnog plinovoda Slobodnica – Donji Miholjac. Na jednom od istraženih nalazišta, označenom kao AN 39 Malinovac – Blata 1, pronađen je žarni grob kulturne grupe Barice-Gređani iz vremena kasnog brončanog doba. Grob se sastojao od manjeg kružnog ukopa u kojemu se nalazila keramička posuda okrenuta dnom prema gore. Ispod posude nalazile su se spaljene kosti odrasle pokojnice, a iznad sloj gareži izmiješan s ulomcima dviju keramičkih posuda i ostacima ukrasne brončane igle. Važnost nalaza je u tome što je to dosad najsjeverniji pronađeni grob kulturne grupe Barice-Gređani, čije se matično područje nalazi južnije u Posavini. Nedaleko od mjesta pronalaska groba otkriveni su i ostaci naselja iz kasnog brončanog doba.In 2009 and 2010 a series of rescue archaeological excavations were carried out on the route of the main pipeline Slobodnica – Donji Miholjac. One of the excavated sites (AN 39 Malinovac–Blata 1) yielded an urn grave of the Barice-Gređani cultural group, dated to the Late Bronze Age. The burial pit contained a ceramic urn, with the bottom turned upwards, covered with a layer of soot mixed with fragments of two ceramic vessels and the head of a bronze pin. The urn contained cremated remains of an adult female. The importance of this site is in the fact that it is the northernmost grave of the Barice-Gređani cultural group, which was widespread in the Posavina region. Near the grave a contemporary, Late Bronze Age, settlement was detected
Archaeological and conservation research of the Stancija Blek site near Tar in 2011
Get PDFArheološko istraživanje Stancije Blek nastavak je radova iz 2008. i 2010. godine. Radovi su provedeni na području prostorije 8 koja je sačuvala najviše slojeva unutar ovoga viševremenskog građevnog sklopa. Nastavilo se sa skidanjem recentno prebačenih slojeva i kasnosrednjevjekovnog sloja urušenja. Skidanjem tih slojeva došlo se do: popločenja od pločastog kamena, paljevinskih slojeva crvene i tamne boje, zidova srednjovjekovne i antičke faze te većih vrata sa sačuvanim pragom i donjim dijelom dovratnika. U paljevinskim slojevima su uz antičke nalaze prisutni i srednjovjekovni nalazi majolike, kuhinjske keramike te stakla.The site Stancija Blek is strategically located on the left side of the river Mirna, on the fertile land that was, during the Roman period, incorporated in the ager of Poreč and linked to the marine communications, i.e. with the Tar Bay. The Tar Bay is the position at which the road communication Poreč - Novigrad intersects the one that passes through the Mirna river valley and goes toward the central Istria.
Archaeological and historical knowledge are primarily brought to us by Gaetano Benčić (Benčić 2006, 324). The first mention of the site Stancija Blek in the medieval sources was the one in the chart of Otto II from 983, which mentions praedium (...) Turrim quae est supra piscatione None (Benčić 2006, 324). Archaeological and architectural study of the site is given in Progetto Torre. Relazione Preliminare della Campagna di Rilievo in 2006 (Benčić 2006; Cuscito, Riavez 2008) and in the works about researches carried out in 2008 and 2010 (Šiljeg 2009; Šiljeg et al: 2011).
At the site St Blek there was initially a villa rustica recognized as the earliest form of settlement. It is situated in the densely populated part of the ager of Poreč (Šonje 1982: 100, n. 1; Matijašić 1988: 66, 84-5). The first phase of the villa architecture is visible in parts of the walls of the tower being built in opus quadratum technique. Traces of wine and oil production are preserved in the ruins of presses and millstones. Many small ceramics, glass and metal finds on the wider area of the site testify the intensive life lead in a small town or a larger complex villa. The life during the Middle Ages is witnessed by the find of the pre-Romanesque interlace, window pillars in the Romanesque style, as well as the coins, glass and pottery from the 13th and 14th century (Šonje 1982; Benčić 2006; Cuscito, Riavez 2008; Šiljeg 2009; 2011).
The works carried out in 2011 included further stripping of the layers in the room 8 (Quadrant F/H/I-29/30/31). Late medieval layer of the debris (SU 064) in places thick nearly two meters (max 75.18 m and min 73.31 m) provided the usual material such as more or less cut stone and ceramic building materials: tegulae and tubules (Fig. 1).
Removal of the layer of the debris revealed the structures and layers of the walls of the medieval and ancient phase and larger doors with preserved threshold and the lower part of the jamb, the tessellation of flat stone and the layer of burning; ranging from red to black in colour (Fig. 1).
The wall consists of two faces (SU 054 and 056) and a fill (SU 055) between which the outer wall of a large cistern, from earlier phases of Roman occupation of this area, is located. After discovering the cistern it became clear why the quite regular opus quadratum is preserved on this part of the construction assembly. The wall thickness of 1 m with two faces built in opus quadratum and bound with opus caementicium managed to resist the weather and abundant alterations. Opus quadratum is clearly visible in the interior of the room 1 (Cuscito, Riavez 2008: Tav. 1). The interior of the cistern is coated with insulating plaster. It can be said that the cistern dates to another period or phase, different from the one that was excavated northeast of the construction assembly. In fact, the cistern discovered earlier (Cuscito, Riavez 2008: Tav. 1) was not build in opus quadratum and the insulating plaster was applied in three layers. Newly discovered cistern is filled with small debris.
On the west side, the wall was discovered, which extends in the north-south direction, and continues to the western wall of the room 2. It was at the height of 74.28 m that the threshold of the larger double door was found (SU 070). The threshold is made of one face (side) of the sarcophagus (Fig. 1 and 2). It is interesting to note that in this location, only slightly higher, the window columns were found (Šonje 1968: 437-438; Benčić 2006: 327). In front of the threshold three walls are preserved, most likely dating to the earlier stage. They enclose a smaller room covered with slabs of stone as is the most of the northern higher part of the explored area.
A layer of stone slabs (SU 062, 067 and 069) which naturally flake was probably used as a levelling and the insulating layer before the construction of the floor. A similar phenomenon was noticed in the room 5 during the research in 2008 (Fig. 2).
Beneath stone slabs cremation layers in various shades of red, gray and black appeared (SU 073, 074, 076, 077, 079, 080) (Fig. 2 and 3). Within them sporadic finds of ceramics, glass and metal (usually nails) appeared.
In the southern part of the explored area, below the first layers of the burning, the remains of three walls began to show. They differ from other walls in their structure. Perhaps the reason for this is in the fact that they were perhaps the foundations or the wall from some other phase of life on the site. Since we have only discovered the walls by lowering surrounding layers, we will get a clearer picture of the correlation of this wall with walls of the cistern.
In the incineration layers, alongside the Roman finds, medieval Majolica pottery, coarse pottery and glass is present as well. During the excavations carried out this year a fragment of pottery, probably Majolica with multicoloured painted decoration on a glazed surface (maiolica policroma), was found in room 5 and in the collapses layer (SU 064). All layers, except the cistern, can therefore be ascribed to the medieval period
The Spatial Analysis of Finds from Mousterian Levels D2, E1, E2 and E3 at Mujina pećina
Get PDFČlanak po prvi put donosi rezultate prostorne analize donjih razina (kompleks E3 i slojevi E2 i E1) nalazišta musterijenske kulture Mujina pećina. Prostorna horizontalna distribucija nalaza iz sloja D2 ponovno je objavljena zbog posebne važnosti te razine koja sadrži nalaze dvaju musteri¬jenskih vatrišta te usporedbe s donjim razinama. Pojedini odsječci vertikalne distribucije nalaza prikazani su za sve slojeve čime se povećala mogućnost komparacije svih razina.This paper presents the results of the spatial analysis of finds from the lower levels (complex E3 and levels E2 and E1) at the Mousterian site of Mujina pećina, Croatia. The horizontal spatial distribution of finds from level D2 is also included here since it contains the remains of two Mousterian hearths, which makes this level significant for the comparison with the lower levels. To increase the possibility of comparison of all levels at the site, particular segments of vertical dispersal of finds are also presented in the paper
Vojvodine – Migalovci: A necropolis dating to the beginning of the Urnfield culture
No full textZaštitnim istraživanjima na lokalitetu Vojvodine–Migalovci istražena je nekropola s 27 žarnih grobova iz razdoblja početka kulture polja sa žarama. Riječ je o iznimno kompleksnom nalazištu na kojem su utvrđeni kulturni elementi četiriju različitih kulturnih grupa. Nekropola je datirana u razdoblje Ha A1 ili okvirno u 12. st. pr. Kr.Rescue excavations at the site of Vojvodine–Migalovci revealed a necropolis with 27 urn graves that date to the beginning of the Urnfield Culture. At this highly complex site cultural elements from four separate cultural groups were identified. The necropolis was dated to the Ha A1 period (approximately 12th century BC)
Second Avar Khaganate Sabre or Pallos Cross-guard from Nin
Get PDFU članku je riječ o ranosrednjovjekovnoj križnici sablje ili paloša iz Nina. Autori ju pripisuju Drugom avarskom kaganatu, kojem pripada još desetak nalaza takve vrste oružja s prostora kontinentalne Hrvatske. Križnica iz starohrvatske prijestolnice za sada je jedinstven nalaz u Dalmaciji. Otkrivena je 2000. godine u arheološkim istraživanjima ispred pročelja župne crkve sv. Anselma, nekadašnje ninske katedrale.The article discusses an early mediaeval sabre or pallos cross-guard from Nin. The authors have assigned the cross-guard to the Second Avar Khaganate, to which a dozen finds of this sort of weapon from the territory of continental Croatia also belong. The cross-guard from the ancient Croatian capital represents a unique find in Dalmatia. It was unearthed in 2000 in archaeological excavations in front of the façade of Saint Anselm’s parish church, which once was Nin Cathedral

Sodolek – just another site from the Middle/Late Bronze Age boundry
Get PDFOpsežna arheološka istraživanja poduzeta posljednjih godina omogućavaju nam nove spoznaje o unutrašnjoj strukturi i dinamici razvoja brončanodobnih nalazišta. Precizni programi datiranja pokazuju kako su gotovo sva nalazišta imala najmanje dvije faze djelatnosti. Jedno od, u tom smislu, najzanimljivijih nalazišta, Sodolek u istočnoj Sloveniji, prikazuje razvoj naselja na prijelazu iz srednje u kasno brončano doba. Datiranje njegovih pojedinih struktura omogućuje stvaranje pretpostavke o početku i drugih, nedatiranih, nalazišta, a time i o apsolutnom datiranju početka kulture polja sa žarama u široj regiji.Large scale archaeological excavations conducted in recent years enabled us to get the information about the internal structure of the Bronze Age settlements and the dynamics of their development. Detailed dating programs demonstrated that almost all the settlements had at least two phases of activities. Among the most interesting ones is Sodolek from eastern Slovenia demonstrating the development of the settlement from the Middle to the Late Bronze Age. The dating of individual structures containing finds enabled us to formulate hypotheses about the beginning of other, undated, sites as well as to propose an absolute date for the beginning of the Urnfield Culture in the region
Neuere Betrachtungen über bestimmte Aspekte der Sopot-Kultur in Nordkroatien
No full textU tekstu se obrađuju dva pitanja sopotske kulture u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj. Ražište-tip sopotske kulture u kasnom neolitiku rasprostire se oko Našica u Slavoniji, no u novije vrijeme dokazan je u Golincima kod Donjeg Miholjca, gdje je datiran u vrijeme nešto iznad 5000. god. pr. Kr. Neki njegovi elementi uočeni su i u Novim Perkovcima kod Đakova te na Slavči kod Nove Gradiške i Vidovcima kod Požege, no ova dva lokaliteta se ne mogu pribrojiti Ražište-tipu.
Sopotska kultura na početku ranog eneolitika dokazana je Seče-tipom u Podravini i kalničko-bilogorskoj regiji, te istovremenim stupnjem 4 klasične sopotske kulture oko Đakova i Nove Gradiške, no vjerojatno i na Sopotu kod Vinkovaca i Hermanovu vinogradu u Osijeku, o čemu svjedoče i kalibrirani radiokarbonski datumi, koji ih svrstavaju u kraj 5. i, možda, početak 4. tisućljeća pr. Kr.Der Text beschäftigt sich mit zwei Aspekten der Sopot-Kultur in Nordkroatien. Der Ražište-Typ der Sopot-Kultur verbreitet sich im Spätneolithikum um Našice in Slawonien, wurde aber in jüngerer Zeit in Golinci bei Donji Miholjac bestätigt, wo er in die Zeit kurz vor 5000 v. Chr. datiert wurde. Manche Elemente dieses Typs wurden auch in Novi Perkovci bei Đakovo sowie auf Slavča bei Nova Gradiška und Vidovci bei Požega festgestellt, allerdings lassen sich die letzeren zwei Standorte nicht dem Ražište-Typ zurechnen.
Die Sopot-Kultur ist am Anfang des Frühäneolithikums durch den Seče-Typ in der Podravina und der Kalnik-Bilogora Region belegt und die gleichzeitige Stufe 4 der klassischen Sopot-Kultur um Đakovo und Nova Gradiška, aber wahrscheinlich auch auf Sopot bei Vinkovci und in Hermanov vinograd [Hermans Weinberg] in Osijek, wovon auch die kalibrierten Radiokarbondaten zeugen, die sie an das Ende des 5. und vielleicht den Anfang des 4. Jahrtausends v. Chr. datieren
Roman villa in the Soline cove on the Island of St. Clement near Hvar Preliminary analysis of the architecture according to geophysical investigations and sondages
Get PDFU uvali Soline na otoku Sv. Klement kod Hvara vršena su arheološka istraživanja od kolovoza 2007. do srpnja 2012. godine. Istraživani su ostaci rimske vile, smještene uz plodno polje i more, koja bi se prema položaju i funkciji u krajoliku i akvatoriju mogla smatrati maritimnom vilom. Razdoblje je aktivnosti i naseljavanja datirano po nađenom pokretnom i građevnom materijalu te teksturi zidova od ranog carstva do kasne antike. Vidljivi ostaci vile pretežno su iz kasnoantičkog razdoblja. Vila je građena u dvije ili više faza. Kasnoantička nadogradnja je reupotrijebila mnoge elemente ranije vile. Različite spolije nalazimo ugrađene u kasnoantičke zidove i ispod kasnoantičkih podnica, kao npr. pragove ulaza u prostorije, dijelove hipokausta terma, obrađeno kamenje iz zidova koje je kombinirano s grubo pritesanim kamenom upotrijebljenim u kasnoj antici. Kasnoantičke preinake, vjerojatno, su vezane uz solane u uvali Soline. Kompletni areal vile nije ni približno definiran, kao ni svi sadržaji iz tih razdoblja koji su se nalazili na otoku Sv. Klement. Nakon šest godina arheoloških istraživanja proširena su saznanja o lokalitetu čija su istraživanja započela 1956. i 1957. godine. Preliminarni rezultati daju znatan doprinos općem saznanju o ruralnim naseljima na srednjodalmatinskim otocima i njihovoj povijesnoj ulozi u privredi i navigaciji u Jadranu. Pojedinačni nalazi pokazuju raspon od 2. st. pr. Kr. do 6. st. U istraživanjima su korištene neinvazivne metode očitavanja zračnih snimaka i elektromagnetske detekcije te istraživanje arhitekture na terenu i otvaranje manjih probnih sonda koje se, nakon završene kampanje, zatrpavaju.In the Soline cove on the island of St. Clement near Hvar, archaeological excavations were conducted from August 2007 to July 2012. The object of the investigation were the remains of a Roman villa located next to a fertile plain and close to the sea and its position and function in the landscape and the maritime zone indicate that it may have been a maritime villa. According to the movable material, building material and texture of the walls, its period of activity and habitation was dated to the Early Imperial period until Late Antiquity. The visible remains of the villa are mostly from Late Antiquity. It was built in two or more stages. The annex from Late Antiquity reused many elements of the earlier villa. We find different spolia built into walls from Late Antiquity and under floors from Late Antiquity, such as doorsteps on entrances to rooms, parts of the hypocaust of baths, dressed stone blocks from the walls combined with rough-hewn stone blocks used in Late Antiquity. The reconstructions from Late Antiquity were probably linked to the salt works in the Soline cove. The complete area of the villa is not even roughly defined, as is also the case with all the structures from those times located in the island of St. Clement. Six years of archaeological investigations have enriched our knowledge about this location where investigations began in 1956 and 1957. The preliminary results are a significant contribution to the general knowledge on rural settlements on the central Dalmatian islands and their historic role in the economy and navigation in the Adriatic. Individual finds show a range from the 2nd century BC to the 6th century. The investigations employed non-invasive methods of aerial imagery and electromagnetic detection, as well as architectural field investigations and opening of small-scale sondages which are then filled up again with earth after the end of the campaign
Prilog poznavanju najstarijeg optjecaja novca na prostoru južnog Velebita
No full textThe article gives an analysis of the first numismatic finds from the seaward slopes of Southern Velebit: 33 coins collected from the Sveta Trojica site near Starigrad Paklenica, one coin from the Dračevac hill fort in Jasenice and one coin from the Cvituša hill fort near Lovinac. The finds comprise coins of Hispanic, Greek-Illyrian and North African origin (Numidia, Carthage, Egypt), Roman Republican coins, a Venetian gazzetta and one unidentified piece (aes rude?). Collected during field surveys, the coins contribute to the study of the circulation of the oldest coins in the Velebit area, i.e. in the border area of pre-Roman Liburnia. Considering the location of the sites in question, the authors also list the routes through which the coins circulated in Lika.Članak obrađuje prve numizmatičke nalaze s prostora primorske padine južnog Velebita. Obrađena su 33 primjerka novca koji potječu s lokaliteta Sveta Trojica kod Starigrada Paklenice, jedan primjerak s gradine Dračevac u Jasenicama te jedan primjerak s gradine Cvituša kod Lovinca. Zastupljen je hispanski, grčko-ilirski, sjevernoafrički novac (Egipat, Kartaga, Numidija), rimski republikanski novci, venecijanska gazzetta i jedan nedefiniran komad (aes rude?). Novac je prikupljen površinskim pregledom terena, te predstavlja doprinos proučavanju problematike najstarijeg opticaja novca na prostoru velebitskog masiva odnosno graničnom području predrimske Liburnije. S obzirom na položaje spomenutih lokaliteta autorice donose trase putova kojima je taj novac cirkulirao u Lici
