O horizontu ratničkih grobova 5. stoljeća pr. Kr. na prostoru istočne obale Jadrana i njezina zaleđa: primjer novog nalaza iz Vranjeva Sela kod Neuma
No full textWhen archaeological supervision was set up to monitor the widening of the road from Neum to Stolac, in 2006, a rescue excavation was carried out on the site of Vidića guvno in Vranjevo Selo near Neum. Research confirmed the presence of a burial tumulus with, most probably, multiple warrior inhumations, which continued to be used as burial ground in the medieval period, when a cemetery was created under monumental medieval tombstones. A subsequent rebuilding of the site into a threshing floor damaged the cultural layers, but the valuable finds of the Iron Age material culture remained preserved.
The inventory of the so-called Illyrian warrior grave fits perfectly into the already known cultural image of the Neum region and the broader southern Dalmatian territory in the 5th century BC. It consists of a full set of offensive and defensive weaponry, a jewelry set and an exceptionally rich ceramic symposiastic set. The typological determination of these finds demonstrates strong connections with the Glasinac cultural area and the Central Balkans horizon of princely graves, but, on the other hand, the imports demonstrate also a connection to the classical Greek and Macedonian sphere, thus confirming the presumption that a well-stratified warrior aristocracy existed in this area. Illyrian helmets of the superregional III A2–a type, as well as individual elements of jewelry and attire, demonstrate the special consideration and importance given to local products originating from the production centers on the costal area of the central and southern Adriatic. The association of such finds in individual graves is not only a reflection of the status of the deceased and their economic importance, but also a demonstration of the military and political authority of these local aristocracies which balanced between the complex relations of the regional societies, the ever stronger Macedonian influences and the penetration of the Italic and Greek colonies located on the eastern Adriatic. It was actually through their mediation that the custom of adding rich sets of drinking vessels and military equipment in the graves, generally interpreted as the dominant fashion of that period, was transferred and adapted to the needs of the cultural groups located on the shores of the eastern Adriatic.Pri arheološkom nadzoru za proširenje trase magistralne ceste Neum – Stolac 2006. godine obavljeno je zaštitno istraživanje na nalazištu Vidića guvno u Vranjevom Selu kod Neuma. Istraživanja su pokazala da je riječ o grobnom tumulu s ratničkim, vjerojatno višekratnim ukopima, na kojem se potom u kasnom srednjem vijeku nastavilo sahranjivanje pod stećcima. Kulturni su slojevi naknadnom izgradnjom guvna, nažalost, u znatnoj mjeri oštećeni, no ipak sačuvali su se posebno vrijedni nalazi materijalne kulture iz razdoblja željeznoga doba.
Repertoar nalaza iz tzv. ilirskog ratničkog groba uklapa se u već poznatu kulturološku sliku neumskog užeg, ali i šireg južnodalmatinskog područja iz vremena 5. st. pr. Kr. Riječ je o vojnoj opremi navalnog i obrambenog karaktera, o nakitnoj garnituri nošnje te o priloženom bogatom simpozijastičkom keramičkom servisu. Tipološka odredljivost tih predmeta, koji s jedne strane odražavaju snažnu povezanost s glasinačkim te srednjobalkanskim horizontom kneževskih grobova, a s druge strane svjedoče o izrazitim importima iz klasičnog grčkog i makedonskog miljea, samo još jednom potvrđuju tezu o dobro strukturiranoj ratničkoj aristokraciji toga područja. Ilirske kacige nadregionalnog III A2–a tipa, kao i pojedini elementi nošnje i nakita, ukazuju na znatnu pažnju i važnost proizvoda iz domaćih, na obalama srednjeg i južnog Jadrana smještenih proizvodnih središta. Asocijacija takvih nalaza materijalne kulture u pojedinim grobovima nije odraz samo statusnog ili gospodarskog značaja, nego i vojno-političkog autoriteta mjesnih aristokracija koje su balansirale između kompleksnih odnosa regionalnih zajednica, sve snažnijih makedonskih utjecaja i penetracije italskih i grčkih kolonija na istočnome Jadranu. Zapravo, njihovim su se posredništvom običaji prilaganja u grobove raskošnih garnitura za piće i vojne opreme, uobičajeno tumačenih u sklopu prevladavajućeg modnog trenda onoga vremena, prenijeli i u znatnoj mjeri prilagodili potrebama kulturnih zajednica i na obalama istočnoga Jadrana
Roman tombstone from the Stari grad site in Ivanec
Get PDFU arheološkim istraživanjima koje Institut za arheologiju od 1998. provodi na Starome gradu u središtu Ivanca, utvrđena je dugotrajna naseljenost tog lokaliteta od prapovijesnog i rimskog razdoblja do polovine 20. stoljeća. U dvorištu tamošnjeg renesansno-baroknog kaštela istražene su, između ostalog, romanička i gotička crkva s kontinuitetom ukapanja do u 17. stoljeće. U kampanji 1998., u zidovima gotičke crkve kao spolij je zatečen ulomak rimskog grobnog spomenika načinjenog od lokalnog vapnenca, ukrašenog reljefnim ljudskim likovima na prednjoj i bočnoj plohi. U ovome radu taj se nalaz objavljuje po prvi put i obrađuje cjelovito s obzirom na ikonografiju i formalnu tipologiju te datiranje i društvene okolnosti nastanka. S obzirom na necjelovitost, izvorni izgled spomenika ostaje nepoznat, ali se on pretpostavljeno rekonstruira kao ugaoni blok grobne građevine ili tzv. grobnog stupa (Grabpfeiler) te se datira u 3. stoljeće. Zajedno s drugim predmetima (keramika, opeka, kost, staklo), taj je nalaz prvo svjedočanstvo o rimskodobnom naselju na području Ivanca.Archaeological excavations, carried out since 1998 by the Institute of Archaeology in Stari Grad in the centre of Ivanec, have established long-term human presence at the site, from prehistoric and Roman times to the middle of the 20th century. Among other things excavated in the courtyard of the local Renaissance and Baroque fort were a Romanesque and a Gothic church where burials continued into the 17th century. During the 1998 campaign, a fragment of a Roman tombstone, made from local limestone and decorated with human figures carved in relief on the front and side surfaces, was found as a spolium in the walls of the Gothic church. This text publishes the find for the first time and provides a comprehensive analysis of its iconography, formal typology, dating and the social circumstances in which it came into being. Although, due to its incompleteness, the original appearance of the tombstone remains unknown, we presume it was a corner stone of a tomb or a so-called grave pillar (Grabpfeiler), and date it back to the 3rd century. Along with other items (ceramics, brick, bone, glass), this find provides our first evidence of a Roman settlement on the territory of Ivanec
2010 Archaeological-Conservation Research of the Stancija Blek Site near Tar
Get PDFArheološko-konzervatorska istraživanja lokaliteta Stancije Blek nastavila su se na radove iz 2008. godine. Radovi su nastavljeni u prostoriji 5 koja je prepoznata kao srednjovjekovna dogradnja unutar ovoga građevnog sklopa. Skidanjem srednjovjekovnog sloja u kome se 2008. godine pronašao veći broj staklenih predmeta došlo se do kasnoantičkih i antičkih slojeva te na jednom dijelu i do zdravice. Unutar antičkih slojeva pronađeno je keramičkih, staklenih i metalnih predmeta uglavnom kasnoantičkih odlika.Historical and earlier archaeological works have already been published (Benčić 2006; Cuscito, Riavez 2008). This year we continued the work from 2008 in room 5 (Šiljeg 2009).
After cleaning the probe, we continued removing the layers, but for the sake of the vertical stratigraphy, this time we left a control profile in the north-eastern part of the room (Fig. 1). The entire surface was covered by a layer of rubble SU 020. Under the 20-cm-thick layer of rubble, there was an extraordinarily dark layer of soot SU 021. In the layers beneath, there were exclusively late antiquity finds (coarse pottery with a wavy line and plastic decoration). Of particular significance is a pot with a plastic band (Fig. 4), which is characteristic of the 5th and 6th centuries in the region (Juroš-Monfardin 1986: T. III: 1; Marušić 1986: 83, Fig. 6: 1; Ruffieux 2010: 251–252, 254, 266, Fig. 6). The room’s northern wall ends on a layer of soot and the remains of a wall familiar from earlier excavations (Cuscito, Riavez 2008: Tal. 2. US 023).
The remains of wall SU 027 (038), oriented north-south, and passing under SU 009, testify to the affluence of life in classical antiquity. The remains of two floors directly above sterile soil are also associated with this wall. Alongside the northern wall, the remains of a smaller wall SU 042 enclosing a smaller basin were found. The basin was covered by hydraulic mortar opus signinum SU 040 (Fig. 2).
In room 5a, the removal of the 14th-century layer, in which there was still glass of the same shapes as in the 2008 excavations (Šiljeg 2009: 114–115), continued. Within the same layer, two small, almost entirely preserved ceramic bowls were unearthed (SF 75 and 79) (Fig. 3), decorated with engobe, over which a green coloured glaze had been coated. Their manufacture is associated with the Italian region of Veneto, and they are particularly widely distributed in north-eastern Italy. They can be dated to the 14th and 15th centuries. (Bradara 2006: 19–21, Gusar 2007: 178). From the same layer, there is also a pottery fragment, probably of the majolica type with multicoloured decoration on the outside and a maiolica policroma glaze on the inside (SF 77), also dating from the period of the Late Middle Ages.
The excavations inside room 5 have enabled the relationship between the walls found there to be determined. The latest wall is southern wall SU 034, which divided the largest room into two: rooms 2 and 5 (Cuscito, Riavez 2008: Tav. 1). Older than this wall are walls SU 006 and SU 009, which were partly utilised in the structure of wall SU 034. Walls SU 036, 037 and SU 035 are mediaeval. Wall SU 027 (038), the smaller wall SU 042 and the wall below wall SU 034 belong to the classical antiquity stage.
The numerous walls and layers discovered and defined in 2010 confirm assumptions concerning the affluence of life on the Stancija Blek site in classical antiquity and the Middle Ages
