ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AT THE OLD CASTLE OF DUBOVAC IN 2001

U radu su objavljeni rezultati probnog sondiranja srednjovjekovne utvrde Dubovac kod Karlovca. Naglasak je postavljen na obradu prapovijesnog materijala, koji većinom datira iz prve polovice 1. tis. pr. Kr. te manjim dijelom iz 4. tis. pr. Kr. Predstavljena je stratigrafija nalazišta te tipološka i statistička analiza lončarije. Istraženi dio nalazišta smješten je na koničnu humku, koji je prirodnoga porijekla, ali je dobrim dijelom oblikovan ljudskim djelovanjem. Objekti iz prapovijesnog razdoblja naseobinske su naravi. Pronađena je i jedna starija, zidana faza utvrde, koja nije pouzdano datirana. U keramičkom materijalu utvrđene su stilske analogije sa širim krugom nalazišta završnoga stupnja brončanog doba i početka željeznog doba, naročito s Podunavljem i Podravljem. Temeljem statističke analize izdvojene su i neke tehnološke tradicije proizvodnje lončarije. Naročita pozornost posvećena je problemu prije laza brončanog u željezno doba na području Pokuplja s obzirom na pronađene nalaze.Th e results of test excavations conducted at the medieval Dubovac Castle near Karlovac are presented in this work. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the prehistoric material, which largely dates to the first half of the first millennium BC and, to a lesser extent, from the fourth millennium BC. The stratigraphy of the site is presented together with typological and statistical analysis of the pottery. Th e researched portion of the site is situated on a conical, naturally formed mound that was also considerably shaped by human activity. Th e structures from the prehistoric period are mostly traces of habitats. An older, stone-built phase of the castle was also discovered which has not been reliably dated. Among the ceramic material, stylistic analogies were ascertained with the wider sphere of sites of the fi nal phase of the Bronze Age and the onset of the Iron Age, particularly in the Danube and Drava River zones. Based on the statistical analysis, certain technological traditions of pottery production have been distinguished. Particular attention was dedicated to the problem of the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age in the Kupa river zone, given the discovered artefacts

Methods of surface archaeological research and their application in Bujština, Istria (Part 1)

Masters thesis on systematic field survey in archaeology (Part 1 : theory and method

Methodology of Field Survey – Case Study from Western Bujština (Istria)

U radu se analizira metodologija sustavnog terenskog pregleda na primjeru istraživanja u sjeverozapadnoj Istri. Predstavljene su metode pregleda na otvorenom te topografskog snimanja gradinskih nalazišta. Razmotren je uspjeh u detekciji nalazišta, problem slabije zastupljenih povijesnih razdoblja i tumačenje nalaza izvan nalazišta. Također je razmotren potencijal rezultata za razumijevanje složenijih povijesnih procesa. U zaključku je dan osvrt na širi metodološki kontekst istraživanja.This paper analyzes the methodology of systematic field survey on the case study of northwestern Istria. The field research methodology was based upon intensive field survey and topographic survey of hillfort sites. The analysis of the obtained results is focused on estimation of the success in detecting different types of sites while the problem of under-representation of historical periods and the interpretation of offsite finds are also discussed. The resulting potential for understanding complex historical processes is also considered. The conclusion provides an overview of the wider research context and the applicability of the survey methodology

Antički krajolik Bujštine: Primjena sustavnoga terenskog pregleda i pokušaj prostorne analize

Predstavljeni su rezultati sustavnog terenskog pregleda na prostoru Bujštine te potom njihova prostorna analiza u kontekstu istraženog područja. Prije analize razmotreni su problemi nastanka površinskog arheološkog zapisa, odnosno dobivenog skupa podataka. Na temelju jednostavne tipologije nalazišta (dva tipa) provjerena je njihova prostorna korelacija i raspored. Također su razmotrene mogućnosti rekonstrukcije pružanja jedne lokalne prometnice te teritorijalnih odnosa dokumentiranih naseobina. Pozornost je posvećena i nalazima izvan nalazišta

De l’analyse de visibilité à la culture visuelle : un apport des systèmes d’information géographique (SIG) à l’archéologie sociale

International audienceDans cette contribution, nous présenterons l’étude de la nécropole de Crveni Vrh (Monterosso) près de Savudrija (Croatie), et notamment son insertion dans le paysage culturel au niveau visuel. Une analyse de visibilité est mise en place, qui s’appuie sur un calcul de la taille apparente (angulaire). Ensuite, une lecture des résultats de l’analyse est proposée, reposant sur les notions de stratégies d’exposition ou de dissimulation de différents sites ou structures dans le paysage
