    No full text
    Među mnogobrojnim vukovarskim arheološkim nalazištima najznamenitije je nalazište na Lijevoj Bari jer je prostorno najveće, većim dijelom je arheološki istraženo (3050 m2), a zbog višeslojnosti i obilja nalaza od velike je znanstvene i kulturno- povijesne vrijednosti. Jedan od arheološki najzanimljivijih slojeva ovog poznatog nalazišta zaposjelo je groblje lokalne zajednice nosilaca ranosrednjovjekovne bjelobrdske kulture. U monografiji se analizira i obrađuje baš taj posljednji ranosrednjovjekovni arheološki sloj koji i danas slovi za najveće dosad otkriveno groblje bjelobrdske kulture kontinentalne Hrvatske. Vukovarsko groblje tipično je groblje na redove s vodoravnom stratigrafijom, s pokojnicima položenima uglavnom na leđima u jednostavne grobne jame orijentirane u smjeru zapad-istok. Ono što je pri tome predmetom temeljnog znanstvenog interesa pogrebni su običaji i grobni nalazi — podaci i predmeti kojih je na Lijevoj Bari bilo poprilično te su prikupljeni u velikome broju. Ovo kao i činjenica da je tijekom iskopavanja 50-ih godina 20. stoljeća napravljena relativno solidna, danas još uvijek upotrebljiva i korisna dokumentacija omogućili su da se ovo bjelobrdsko nalazište i njegovi nalazi temeljito prouče, analiziraju, usporede i znanstveno obrade na nov i suvremen način. Svi podaci o grobu i grobnim nalazima, osim što su znanstveno proučeni i uspoređeni s podacima iz nama susjednih zemalja, popisani su i kataloški opisani, a sav arheološki i osteološki materijal iscrtan je i fotografiran te je u monografiji predstavljen u formi grobnih zapisnika, tabli i tipoloških tabela. Potrebno je naglasiti da je arheološka građa koju je autor imao na raspolaganju obimna i raznovrsna a kako pripada najranijim razdobljima bjelobrdske kulture od osobitog je interesa i važnosti, posebice za hrvatsku ranosrednjovjekovnu arheologiju koja zasad ne poznaje bjelobrdsko groblje kronološki ranije i veće od groblja na Lijevoj Bari

    The sixth volume of the publication series Catalogues and Monographs of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb: Early medieval cemetery of the Bijelo Brdo culture: Vukovar - Lijeva Bara (10th-11th centuries). The monograph by Željko Demo brings together the rich archaeological material of the Bijelo Brdo culture from the Vukovar - Lijeva Bara site stored in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb. Due to its wide scope, the publication is divided into two parts. The content of these two books provides a thorough synthesis of the problems of the Vukovar necropolis and the early medieval Bijelo Brdo culture. The first part presents the site and the excavation of the early medieval cemetery, while the second part elaborates in detail the grave rite and items of the grave inventory. In the end, other finds and the cultural and historical circumstances of the cemetery's origin are presented, as well as lists of finds, appendices, pictures, tables and plates

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Some Examples of Court Mint Mobility of Western Roman Rulers (Valentinian III and Julius Nepos)

    Mobilnost kasnocarske dvorske kovnice te njen rad i djelovanje numizmatička je tema prepoznata davno. Iako zanimljiva i važna zbog neprihvaćanja u numizmatičkim krugovima izvan nekadašnje „bečke“ numizmatičke škole u kojoj je ponikla s vremenom je pala u zaborav te bila i ostala uglavnom neistraživana, ali ipak i ponegdje sramežljivo ili kradimice spominjana. U vrijeme kad je taj oblik kovničkog djelovanja izrijekom naznačen numizmatička građa i mogućnosti njenog istraživanja bile su u usporedbi s današnjima kudikamo skromnije. Stoga je tu temu vrijedilo ponovno staviti na stol i na nekim novim osnovama započeti s propitivanjem i istraživanjima. Za tu prigodu mobilnost je jednim dijelom morala biti pojmovno redefinirana te faktografski i izravno povezana (kada je moguće) sa znanim i s neznanim carskim itinerarima i okolnostima koje su do toga dovodili. Tome su ovdje poslužila dva nasumice odabrana primjera mobilnog djelovanja zapadnorimske dvorske kovnice: prvi, temeljen na poznatim itinerarima iz vremena dugotrajne vladavine cara Valentinijana III. (425.-455.) i numizmatičkoj građi nastaloj tijekom njegova boravka izvan rezidencijalnog sjedišta i drugi, temeljen na numizmatičkoj građi iz vremena kratkotrajne vladavine cara Julija Nepota (474.-475.) čija su obilježja pripisana mobilnosti dvorske kovnice pripomogla detektiranju carevih itinerara nezabilježenih u povijesnim vrelima.The mobility of the late imperial court mint and its work and activities is a numismatic theme recognized long ago. Although interesting and important, due to a lack of acceptance in numismatic circles outside the former “Viennese” numismatic school in which it originated, it eventually fell into oblivion and was (and remains) largely unexplored, but is still here or there timidly or stealthily mentioned. In the period when this aspect of mint activities was explicitly noted, the available numismatic material and possibilities of research were much more modest in comparison to the present day. Therefore, it seemed worth placing this topic back on the table and beginning with questioning and investigating on a new basis. For this occasion, mobility in one part had to be conceptually redefined and factually and directly connected (when possible) with both known and unknown imperial itineraries and the circumstances that led to it. Two randomly chosen examples of the mobile activities of the Western Roman court mints aided in this: the first, based on the known itineraries from the lengthy reign of the emperor Valentinian III (425-455) and the numismatic material created during his stays outside of his residential seat, and the second, based on the numismatic material from the brief reign of the emperor Julius Nepos (474-475), where features attributed to the mobility of the court mint aided in detecting imperial itineraries unrecorded in the historical sources

    rilikom rekonstrukcije i uređenja Ulice Opatovina 2002. godine pred zapadnim ulazom u crkvu sv. Franje stručnjaci Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu otkrili su ostatke kasnosrednjovjekovnog groblja i proveli arheološko iskopavanje. Osim tragova prvog savezničkog bombardiranja Zagreba 1944. godine na koje se najprije naišlo, tijekom iskopavanja otkriven je manji dio nepoznatog zagrebačkog kasnosrednjovjekovnoga groblja a ispod i između grobova tragovi ranosrednjovjekovnog naselja ? nalazi o kojima se dosada također ama baš ništa nije znalo. O naselju koje je postojalo od VIII. ili IX. pa sve do u XIII. stoljeće svjedoče brojni ulomci keramičkih posuda, a njegovom ranijem razdoblju pripada zasad jedini hrvatski nalaz kamene peći (ognjišta), karakteristične sastavnice slavenske poluzemunice onog vremena. O naseobinskom karakteru nalazišta govore i nalazi životinjskih kostiju, zgure, grafita i inoga, a o njegovu trajanju u kasnijem razdoblju, osim već spomenute keramike, i nalazi novca XII. i XIII. stoljeća. Naselje je tijekom XIII. stoljeća zamijenio samostan uz koji je potkraj XIII. stoljeća sagrađena crkva. Ne istovremeno s crkvom nego tek koje desetljeće kasnije, u crkvenom dvorištu razvilo se groblje koje se također nalazilo zapadno i sjeverno od crkve i samostana. Među nalazima osobito su brojni čavali (ostaci lijesa) a u kudikamo manjem broju pojavljuje se nakit za glavu i ruke (parta, igla-pribadača, prsteni), dijelovi gornje nošnje (obujmice vezica, dugme-privjesci, okovi rukava, dvodijelne dvopetljaste kopče s kukom i ušicom, ukrasne kopče) te dijelovi i ukrasi pojasa (pređice, jezičci, okovi). Malobrojni su i oni za kronologiju groblja nezaobilazni i važni nalazi mađarskog, bavarskog i austrijskog srebrnog novca. Ukopi su prvoj polovini XIV. stoljeća bili su rijetki ali su u drugoj polovini XIV. stoljeća i tijekom XV. stoljeća postali česti pa čak i vrlo brojni. Početkom XVI. stoljeća broj ukopa naglo se smanjio a sredinom XVI. stoljeća pokapanje je i posve prestalo, pa su nakog toga i groblje i sjećanje na groblje pali u zaborav. U drugoj polovini XVII. stoljeća crkva je proširena u pravcu zapada te je njena tada novoizgrađena lađa zauvijek prekrila velik dio kasnosrednjovjekovnoga groblja

    An Early Medieval Winged/Lugged Spearhead from the Dugo Selo Vicinity in the Light of New Knowledge about this Type of Pole-Mounted Weapon

    U središtu znanstvene analize nalazi se vrijedna akvizicija Arheološkog muzej u Zagrebu – vrlo dobro očuvano ranosrednjovjekovno koplje s krilcima iz okolice Dugog Sela, grada dvadesetak kilometara istočno od Zagreba. Koplje je tipičan ranokarolinški proizvod koji prema starijim tipološko-kronološkim shemama pripada Petersenovu tipu B te bi shodno tomu pripadalo ranokarolinoškom razdoblju i vremenu oko 800. godine. Novija arheološka istraživanja i spoznaje do kojih se došlo u posljednjih dvadesetak godine drukčije promatraju i analiziraju predmete ove vrste pa je i koplje iz okolice Dugog Sela analizirano na temelju tih novih spoznaja (Solberg, Westphal). Analizi su osim toga podvrgnuti i svi dosad poznati primjerci kopalja s krilcima u muzejskim i drugim zbirkama u Hrvatskoj (11+1 kom.) i Bosni i Hercegovini (8 kom.), koji su za ovu prigodu podvrgnuti analizi mjera i proporcija kako bi i oni napokon bili uspoređeni i interpretirani u okviru morfoloških postavki i zaključaka do kojih je svojedobno došao njemački arheorestaurator H. Westphal. Istraživanja su pokazala postojanje nekoliko tipoloških skupina čije su predložene kronološke koordinate drukčije od onih u kojima su se dosad kretala istraživanja i interpretacije kopalja s krilcima u radovima naših arheologa. Mjerni pristup analizi hrvatskih nalaza potvrdio je postojanje primjerka koji pripada najranijoj tradiciji ranokarolinških koplja s krilcima te uputio na još nekoliko kopalja čija morfološka obilježja upućuju na prvu polovinu 8. stoljeća. Preostala koplja pripadaju uglavnom dvjema glavnim tipološkim skupinama, tj. vremenu od druge polovine 8. do u drugu polovinu 9. stoljeća.This scientific analysis starts from a valuable acquisition of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb – a very well preserved early medieval winged spear from the vicinity of Dugo Selo, a town twenty kilometers to the east of Zagreb. The spear purchased for the Archaeological Museum in 2007 is of high quality and almost entirely preserved, with damage only on one side of the lower part of the socket (length 473.4 mm; weight 508 g). The spear is characterized by a broad blade, with a visible but not prominent rib, and the greatest span in the middle of the blade (54.4 mm). On both sides of the blade, more on one and less on the other, there are visible traces of double banded spirally twisted damascening with a rosette pattern of the Rosendamast (Rosetendamast) type. The socket of the spear is short (104.4 mm), with a hexagonal section above and a circular section below (28 mm), with a deep (94 mm) but not particularly wide insertion area (23.4 mm). The holes for the nails are located below the low placed wings or lugs, straight on top, and concavely curved below (span 71.8 mm). The ends of the wings are bent horizontally in the shape of the letter L. Each main side of the socket has a pair of elongated grooved bands (90 x 5.3 mm), while each lateral side above the wings has a pair of short grooved bands joined upwards into a point. The spear was brought to the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb and offered for sale by a resident of Dugo Selo, a small town twenty some kilometers east of Zagreb, who noted that it had been found twenty or more years ago on the northern slopes of the hill of Martin Breg during renovation of a nearby vineyard and the lane in the immediate vicinity, next to which the spear was found and handed over to its later owner (perhaps during widening and gravelling of the lane). Hence the location of the find is not certain, and it can be hypothesized, judging from the very good state of preservation, that the spear was actually an aquatic find, and that it came from a riverbed, sand bank, or gravel pit in the vicinity of Dugo Selo (which is near the Sava River). The spear is a typical early Carolingian product, which according to earlier typological-chronological systems would belong to Petersen type B, Paulsen winged spears of the finished type, and Szemeit type A, and accordingly would belong to the early Carolingian period and be dated to the period around AD 800. More recent archaeological research and knowledge acquired in the past twenty years has led to a different consideration and analysis of objects of this type, and the spear from the Dugo Selo vicinity has been analyzed on the basis of this new knowledge (Solberg, Westphal). The analysis was also extended to cover all of the known examples of winged spears in museums and other collections in Croatia (11+1 ex.) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (8 ex.), which for this occasion were subjected to an analysis of their dimensions and proportions, so that they would finally be compared and interpreted in the framework of the morphological postulates and conclusions previously reached by the German archaeologist-restorer H. Westphal. Analysis has shown the existence of several typological groups whose proposed chronological coordinates differ from those parameters used to the present for the investigation and the interpretation of winged spears in the works of Croatian archaeologists. This metrological approach to the analysis of the Croatian finds has confirmed the existence of examples that belong to the earliest tradition of early Carolingian winged spears and has identified several other spears whose morphological characteristics indicate the first half of the 8th century. The remaining spears mainly belong to two main typological groups (Westphal types II and III), i.e. to the period from the second half of the 8th century to within the second half of the 9th century
