The hill-fort of Sutilija: new knowledge based on archaeological finds collected by non-invasive research
Get PDFGradinsko utvrđenje na brdu Sutilija koje sa sjeverozapadne
strane nadvisuje trogirsko Malo polje, jedno je od najznačajnijih
lokaliteta za poznavanje prapovijesti i protopovijesti trogirsko-
kaštelanskog područja. To se najbolje ogleda u masivnosti
osipine bedema, kompleksnosti vidljivih struktura i visokoj
koncentraciji površinskih nalaza, uključujući i importirane keramike.
Unatoč tome, ali i zbog devastacije koju je lokalitet
doživio tijekom moderne eksploatacije tehničko-građevnog
kamena, njegova je materijalna baština gotovo u potpunosti
nepoznata. U radu se donosi pregled dosadašnjih istraživanja
nedestruktivnim metodama na brdu Sutilija koje su za cilj
imale dokumentiranje zatečenog stanja te proširivanje znanstvenih
spoznaja o značajkama i značenju nalazišta. Poseban
je naglasak stavljen na analizu različitih kategorija površinskih
nalaza, od prapovijesne lokalne lončarije, amfora i ostalih keramičkih
importa do drugih nalaza osobne, odnosno praktične
uporabe. Prethodno nepoznati nalazi sugeriraju s jedne strane
širu dinamiku antropogene aktivnosti na ovom lokalitetu, a s druge gospodarsko-kulturne promjene koje ovo nesumnjivo
značajno željeznodobno središte doživljava u 4. st. pr. n. e.
Rezultat je to sve aktivnije regionalne trgovine i multikulturalne
interakcije, koja se odvijala u kontekstu protopovijesne
preobrazbe srednjodalmatinskih željeznodobnih zajednica.The hill-fort on the Sutilija hill, towering over Trogir’s
Malo polje from the north-west, is one of the most important
sites for understanding the prehistory and protohistory of the
Trogir-Kaštela area. This is best reflected in the huge volumes
of collapsed ramparts, the complexity of visible structures
and the high concentration of surface finds, including imported
pottery. Despite this, but also due to the devastation of
the site during the modern exploitation of technical-building
stone, its material heritage is almost completely unknown.
The paper provides an overview of previous research using
non-destructive methods on the Sutilija hill, which aimed to
document the present state and expand scientific knowledge
about the properties and significance of the site. Particular
emphasis is given to analysis of various categories of surface
finds, from prehistoric local pottery, amphorae and other
pottery imports to other finds for personal and/or practical
use. Previously unknown finds suggest a broader dynamics
of anthropogenic activity at this site, as well as economic and cultural changes that this undoubtedly significant Iron
Age centre experienced in the fourth century BCE. It was the
result of increasingly active regional trade and multicultural
interaction, which took place in the context of protohistoric
transformation of Central Dalmatian Iron Age communities

New findings of Neanderthal artefacts in Croatia: the lithic assemblage from Malo polje-Krban, Trogir
Get PDFČlanak donosi rezultate litičke analize materijala s nalazišta
Malo polje – Krban kod Trogira. Među približno šest tisuća litičkih
nalaza prevladavaju geofakti, ali prisutni su i artefakti koji
su podrobnije analizirani. Artefakti uglavnom potječu iz razdoblja
srednjeg paleolitika (centripetalne jezgre, strugala), dok su
oni potencijalno datirani u gornji paleolitik rijetki. S obzirom na
ostale nalaze i nalazišta srednjega paleolitika u bližoj i daljoj
okolici, ovaj lokalitet dodatno potvrđuje prisutnost neandertalaca
na širem prostoru Trogira i Kaštela, što je i značajka širega
jadranskog prostora.The article provides the results of lithic analysis of the material
from the site of Malo polje-Krban, near Trogir. Among the approximately
six thousand lithic finds, geofacts predominate, but artefacts,
which have been studied in more detail, are also present.
The artefacts date mostly to the Middle Palaeolithic (centripetal
cores, scrapers), while those potentially dated to the Upper Palaeolithic
are rare. With regard to the other Middle Palaeolithic
finds and sites in the immediate and distant surroundings, this
site confirms the presence of Neanderthals in the vicinity of Trogir
and Kaštela, which is also the case in the wider Adriatic area
Archaeometry of Bronze-Age ceramics from the area of Trogir
Get PDFU radu se donose rezultati arheometrijske analize lončarije s nekoliko
brončanodobnih nalazišta na području srednje Dalmacije.
Provedena je mineraloško-petrografska analiza 38 tankih izbrusaka
keramike metodom optičke mikroskopije, dok je na manjem
broju uzoraka mineralni sastav određen metodom rendgenske
difrakcije na prahu. Analizom rezultata dobivene su informacije
o karakteristikama glinovite sirovine, podaci o vrsti i udjelu neplastičnih
primjesa, namjerno dodavanih glini, ali i informacije o
tehnikama izrade i temperaturama pečenja keramike. Istraživanje
je pokazalo da su brončanodobni lončari vjerojatno koristili
lokalnu, lako dostupnu glinu i da su joj dodavali neplastične primjese:
kalcit, sedimentne stijene i grog. Razmatranjem tehnoloških
izbora uočene su promjene u lončarskim praksama između
prve i posljednje faze brončanog doba. Također, razvidna je dugotrajna
tradicija upotrebe kalcita koji u posljednjoj fazi brončanog
doba postaje dominantna primjesa. S druge strane, od ranoga
brončanog doba lončari smjesi dodaju i grog, samostalno ili u
kombinaciji s kalcitom te rjeđe usitnjenim sedimentnim stijenama,
a takva se praksa postupno napušta od kasnoga brončanog
doba. Stoga, rezultati ukazuju na vezu između odabira primjesa i
kronoloških obrazaca, odnosno takva praksa mogla je biti povezana
s periodičnim utjecajima različitih društvenih faktora.The paper presents the results of archaeometric analysis of pottery
from several Bronze Age sites in the area of central Dalmatia.
A mineralogico-petrographic analysis of 38 thin sections of pottery
was carried out using the method of optical microscopy, while the
mineral composition of a smaller number of samples was determined
using the X-ray powder diffraction method. The research
provided data on the characteristics of the clay raw material, the
type and proportion of non-plastic tempers intentionally added to
the clay, and information on the production techniques and firing
temperatures. The research showed that Bronze Age potters very
likely used local, easily available clay and non-plastic tempering
material: calcite, sedimentary rocks and grog. Through consideration
of technological choices, changes in pottery practices between
the first and last phases of the Bronze Age were observed.
The long-term tradition of using calcite, which becomes a dominant
tempering material in the last phase of the Bronze Age, is evident.
On the other hand, from the Early Bronze Age, potters used
grog, either alone or in combination with calcite and, more rarely,
crushed sedimentary rocks, and this practice seems to have been
slowly abandoned after the Late Bronze Age. The results therefore
indicate a correlation between selection of tempering material
and chronological patterns, that is, such a practice could have
been related to the periodic influences of various social factors
