Late Antique oil lamps from the Archaeological Museum in Split
U radu su kataloÅ”ki obraÄene 123 kasnoantiÄke svjetiljke iz depoa
Rimsko-provincijalne zbirke ArheoloŔkog muzeja u Splitu.* Svjetiljke
su saÄuvane u cijelosti ili u ulomcima. NajviÅ”e primjeraka potjeÄe
iz Salone, jedan iz Sutomora u Crnoj Gori, a ostali primjerci su s
razliÄitih lokaliteta srednje Dalmacije. Provedena tipoloÅ”ka analiza
temelji se na podjeli kasnoantiÄkih svjetiljaka koju je izvrÅ”io J.
W. Hayes. Muzejski primjerci uglavnom pripadaju standardnom
repertoaru sjevernoafriÄkih svjetiljaka, a datiraju se od poÄetka
4. st. do oko godine 550. Najzastupljeniji su tipovi Hayes IB (47
primjeraka) i Hayes IIA (34 primjerka). Analiza je pokazala da u zbirci
osim standardnih tipova postoji 18 kasnoantiÄkih svjetiljaka koje se
ne mogu uvrstiti u klasiÄnu Hayesovu podjelu. Za njih se može reÄi
da su imitacije nastale u za sada neutvrÄenim radionicama.This work constitutes a catalogue treatment of 123 Late Antique oillamps
from the storage depot of the Roman Provincial Collection of the
Archaeological Museum in Split.* The oil lamps have been preserved
either entirely or in pieces. Most of them originated in Salona, one is
from Sutomore in Montenegro, while the remaining examples are
from various sites in central Dalmatia. A typological analysis is based on
the classification of Late Antique oil lamps devised by J. W. Hayes. The
museum examples are generally standard North African oil lamp types,
dated from the early fourth century to roughly the year 550. The most
common types are Hayes IB (47 examples) and Hayes IIA (34 examples).
Besides the standard types, the analysis has shown that the collection
contains 18 Late Antique lamps which are not encompassed by Hayesā
classic classification. These may be characterized as imitations which
emerged in thus-far indeterminate workshops
Typology and topography of late antique graves in the archaeological landscape of central Dalmatia
Ova doktorska disertacija ima dva cilja. Prvi cilj je definirati tipove kasnoantiÄkih
grobova na podruÄju danaÅ”nje srednje Dalmacije. Oblik pokopavanja koji prevladava Å”irom
Rimskog Carstva od druge polovice treÄeg stoljeÄa je inhumacija. I dok je grobna raka u kojoj
se sahranjuje pokojnik, ili njegovi spaljeni ostaci, uvijek ukopana u zdravicu ili zemljanu
podlogu, promjenom naÄina pokopavanja iz incineracije u inhumaciju mijenjaju se tipovi
grobnih konstrukcija. Iz prikupljenog materijala s podruÄja srednje Dalmacije formirali smo
osnovnu podjelu na temelju postojanja grobne konstrukcije. Tako se grobovi dijele na one
najjednostavnije koji ne sadrže nikakvu konstrukciju, Å”to znaÄi da je tijelo položeno u grobnu
raku u zemlji ili zdravici; zatim na one koji sadrže neki element grobne konstrukcije, u Ŕto se
ubrajaju drveni lijesovi, jednostavni grobovi omeÄeni kamenom, grobovi koji kao
konstrukcijski element koriste zidane kamene strukture, te grobovi obloženi, pokriveni ili
poploÄeni razliÄitim priruÄnim materijalom; na kraju, najsloženija varijanta grobova je ona s
konkretnom konstrukcijom, u koju spadaju grobovi u amforama, grobovi od tegula i njihovi
podtipovi, kombinirani grobovi, zidani kameni grobovi te zidane kamene grobnice s
podtipovima. Nabrojeni tipovi nisu jedinstveni niti karakteristiÄni iskljuÄivo za analizirani
prostor, ali su po prvi put u okviru njega sintetizirani.
Drugi cilj ove doktorske disertacije je razmotriti razmjeŔtaj grobova u arheoloŔkom
krajoliku na podruÄju danaÅ”nje srednje Dalmacije i ustanoviti koliko su utjecali na
oblikovanje kasnoantiÄkog krajolika. To smo postigli metodama analize prostorne distribucije
kasnoantiÄkih grobova, sistematizacijom njihovih arhitektonskih oblika, kartiranjem grobova
u odnosu na prirodnu okolinu ili neku strateÅ”ku poziciju u prostoru. Na taj naÄin doÅ”li smo do
spoznaje da je kulturni krajolik ljudi koji su pokapali svoje pokojnike stvorio nove socijalne
prostore koji nam pružaju moguÄnosti za drugaÄiju percepciju kasnoantiÄkog krajolika.
Slijedom toga smo uz pomoÄ zraÄnih fotografija, topografskih podataka i crteža pokuÅ”ali
rekonstruirati, gdje je to bilo moguÄe, kasnoantiÄki izgled odreÄenog krajolika. Tako smo na
prostoru nekadaŔnjeg glavnog grada rimske provincije Dalmacije i njegovog okoliŔa mogli
odgovoriti na nekoliko pitanja. Primjerice, prate li kasnoantiÄki grobovi prirodnu
konfiguraciju terena; u kakvom su položaju u odnosu na kasnoantiÄki urbani i prigradski
prostor; kako su smjeŔteni u odnosu na komunikacijske pravce te u kakvom su odnosu s
obližnjom arhitekturom.This doctoral thesis has two objectives. The first one is to define the types of late antique
graves in the area of central Dalmatia. The form of burial that was prevalent in the second half
of the third century throughout the Roman Empire has been known as inhumation. While the
grave pit, in which the deceased was buried or burned, has usualy been in a sterile soil. By
changing the mode of burial from incineration to inhumation, the types of burial structures
have also been changed. Therefore we used the collected grave forms origing from the sites
all around the Central Dalmatia, and we formed the basic division relying on theirs grave
construction. Thus, the graves are divided into those which do not contain any construction
elements, which means that the body has been laid in a simple grave pit; then those that
contain an element of grave construction, which also include wooden caskets, simple grave
pits bordered by stone, graves that used masonry stone structures as a structural element, and
graves lined, covered or paved with various handy materials; in the end, the most complex
version of the grave is the one with the concrete structure, which includes amphora grave, tile
grave, mixed grave type, stone-built grave and stone-built tomb. The listed types are not
unique nor typical exclusively for the area of Central Dalmatia, but for the first time these
types will be analyzed and presented within this doctoral thesis.
The second objective of this PhD thesis is to consider the deployment of graves in the
archaeological landscape of the region of the central Dalmatia and determine how they affect
the formation of late Roman landscape. It was achieved with: analysis of spatial distribution
of late antiquity graves, systematization of grave architecture, charting graves in relation to
the landscape or a strategic position in it. In this way, we have learned that the cultural
landscape and people who buried their dead created new social spaces that provide
opportunities for different perception of late Roman landscape. Consequently with the help of
aerial photography, topographic data and drawings we tried to reconstruct, where it was
possible, late antique look at a certain landscape. In the area of the former capital of the
Roman province of Dalmatia and its landscape we were able to answer a few questions. For
example: we tried to establish whether the late the antique graves follow natural terrain
configuration; what is their position in relation to the late ancient urban and suburban areas;
where are they located in relation to communication routes and how they relate to the nearby
architecture
Late Antique oil-lamps with Early Christian images from the Archaeological Museum in Split
U ovom radu kataloÅ”ki je obraÄeno 114 svjetiljaka iz depoa
Rimskoprovincijalne zbirke te joŔ 20 iz stalnog postava ArheoloŔkog
muzeja u Splitu.1 RijeÄ je o kasnoantiÄkim svjetiljkama, saÄuvanima
u cijelosti ili u ulomcima, koje su na disku ukraŔene reljefnim
motivima s ranokrÅ”Äanskom simbolikom. NajÄeÅ”Äe se radi o
prikazima monograma, križa, lava, psa, zeca, ribe, pijetla, palme i
biblijskih scena. TipoloŔka klasifikacija postavljena u ovom radu
slijedi podjelu Johna W. Hayesa pa se prema tome svjetiljke datiraju
u rasponu od poÄ. 4. st. do oko godine 550.This work contains catalogue treatment of 114 oil-lamps from the storage
depot of the Roman Provincial Collection and 20 additional pieces from
the permanent exhibition of the Archaeological Museum in Split.1 These
are oil-lamps from Late Antiquity, preserved in whole or in fragments,
which have Early Christian symbolic motifs rendered in relief on the
discus. Most often these are monograms, crosses, lions, hounds, hares,
cockerels, palm fronds and biblical scenes. The typological classification
established in this paper adheres to the division done by John W. Hayes,
so in this regard the oil-lamps have been dated to a period ranging from
the beginning of the fourth century to the roughly the year 550
