Predstavljamo rezultate interdisciplinarnih raziskav na novoodkritem kolišču Verd na zahodnem robu Ljubljanskega barja. Za oceno starosti najdišča so bili ključni rezultati dendrokronoloških raziskav ...in radiokarbonskega datiranja lesa, podprtega z metodo wiggle-matching, ki posek lesa dveh pilotov z Verda postavljajo v obdobje 4674 ± 42 cal BC, kar je nekoliko starejše ali sočasno doslej najstarejšemu odkritemu kolišču Resnikov prekop pri Igu. Keramične najdbe so tipološko podobne tistim z Resnikovega prekopa. Arheozoološke raziskave ugotavljajo zastopanost izključno lovnih in odsotnost domačih živali. Arheobotanične raziskave kažejo, da je bilo naselje Verd umeščeno v dokaj naravno in vodnato okolje brez večjih vplivov človeka. Vse raziskave nakazujejo, da najdišče Verd z ostanki neolitskega kolišča iz 5. tisočletja pr. Kr., ne glede na majhnost izkopnega polja in razmeroma skromno število najdb, najverjetneje predstavlja eno najstarejših znanih koliščarskih poselitvenih točk na Ljubljanskem barju.
V prispevku so predstavljeni stratigrafski podatki in analiza arheoloških najdb, predvsem keramike, s kolišča Verd, odkritega leta 2022 na zahodnem robu Ljubljanskega barja. Rezultate preučevanja ...stratigrafskih podatkov in arheoloških najdb je v povezavi z izsledki arheozooloških, arheobotaničnih in dendrokronoloških analiz dodatno potrdilo radiokarbonsko datiranje, ki naselje okvirno postavlja v 47. stoletje pr. Kr., bržčas celo pred kolišče Resnikov prekop iz okolice Iga na drugem koncu bazena.
The archaeobotanical research of the Stare Gmajne pile-dwelling site included analyses of samples taken from moss remains and vessel contents, as well as wood anatomical analyses of several wooden ...artefacts and charcoal pieces.The moss of two forest species and other macroremains provide evidences of human diet and gathering as well as surrounding vegetation in the Eneolithic (3521−3366 cal BC). The results show the inhabitants collected wild plants and cultivated crops, with six cultivars identified. For the wooden artefacts, they show the bow was made of yew and the rings of hazel. They also reveal significant differences between the two excavated trenches and between different stratigraphic units. Further research of the systematically sampled sediments will address questions concerning the possibility of detecting changes in water levels and the location of the Eneolithic settlement. What is already clear is that the organic remains in the present-day Ljubljansko barje soil are highly endangered.
Na 16 koliščih na Ljubljanskem barju v Sloveniji je bilo med leti 1995 in 2021 z arheološkimi izkopavanji zbranih več kot 8.800 vzorcev z vodo napojenega arheološkega lesa. Večina vzorcev je bilo ...odvzetih iz pilotov, zabitih v zemljo, na katerih so bila zgrajena bivališča. Približno 20 % vzorcev je bilo iz lesa hrasta (Quercus sp.) in jesena (Fraxinus sp.), z več kot 45 branikami, ki jih je bilo mogoče vključiti v dendrokronološke analize in sestaviti kronologije širin branik za večino najdišč. Datiranje z uporabo dendrokronologije, radiokarbonskega datiranja in metode wiggle matching ter telekonekcije z nemško-švicarsko referenčno kronologijo so omogočili na leto natančno absolutno datiranje hrasta v časovnem okviru 3771–3330 pr. Kr. (kronologija BAR-3330), medtem ko so bili natančni radiokarbonski datumi pridobljeni za kronologije, ki pokrivajo obdobji 3285–3109 ± 14 kal. pr. Kr. (SG-VO) in 2659–2417 ± 18 kal. pr. Kr. (ZA-QUSP1). Potencial kronologij jesena, zlasti tistih iz 3. tisočletja pr. Kr., kjer ta vrsta prevladuje, še ni bil v celoti izkoriščen.
V prispevku obravnavamo najdiščne okoliščine ornamentiranega bronastega bodala s polkrožno zaključeno ročajno ploščo z Iga in zgodnjebronastodobno keramiko z Ljubljanskega barja. Postavljamo ...tezo, da je nekje na območju eneolitskih kolišč severno od Iga pričakovati tudi bronastodobno naselje in da bodalo lahko pripada temu naselju. Dejstvo, da je bilo bodalo najdeno na najdiščnem območju eneolitskega II. kolišča, je potemtakem zgolj posledica okoliščine, da se areala naselbin iz konca eneolitske in zgodnje bronaste dobe vsaj delno prekrivata. Pojasnitev, da bodalo najverjetneje ni ritualno odložena močvirska najdba, temveč je naselbinska najdba, odpira vprašanja o izvoru in pomenu več drugih arheoloških – predvsem kovinskih – najdb z Ljubljanskega barja.
Water isotope investigations are a powerful tool in water resources research as well as in understanding the impact that humans have on the water cycle. This paper reviews past hydrological ...investigations of the Ljubljansko polje and Ljubljansko barje aquifers that supply drinking water to the City of Ljubljana, with an emphasis on hydrogen, oxygen and carbon stable isotope ratios. Information about the methods used and results obtained are summarised, and the knowledge gaps identified. Overall, we identified 102 records published between 1976 and 2019. Among them, 41 reported stable isotope data of groundwater, surface water and precipitation and were further analysed. Isotope investigations of the Ljubljansko barje began in 1976, while groundwater and surface water investigations of the Ljubljansko polje and along the Sava River began as late as 1997. Isotope investigations of carbon started even later in 2003 in the Ljubljansko polje and in 2010 in the Ljubljansko barje. These investigations were performed predominantly in the frame of short-term groundwater research projects at five main wellfields and sites along the Sava River. Almost no large-scale, long-term stable isotope studies have been conducted. The exceptions include groundwater monitoring by the Union Brewery in Ljubljana (2003- 2014) and precipitation in Ljubljana since 1981. Since 2011, more detailed surveys of the Ljubljansko barje were performed, and in 2018, the first extensive investigation started at wellfields and objects that form part of the domestic water supply system. Given the number of available studies, we felt that publishing all the numerical data and appropriate metadata would allow for a better understanding of the short and long-term dynamics of water circulation in the urban environment. In the future, systematic long-term approaches, including the appropriate use of isotopic techniques, are needed.

Mejice so manj (pre)poznan element v kulturni pokrajini. V Sloveniji je v uradno evidenco vključenih 4522 mejic v skupni dolžini 458,5 km. Zaradi različnih dejavnikov se njihovo število in kakovost ...zmanjšujeta. Ker gre za pokrajinsko rastlinsko prvino, ki se v prostoru hitro spreminja, je za njeno ohranjanje in upravljanje pomembno ustrezno prepoznavanje in evidentiranje. Preverili smo več postopkov prepoznavanja mejic. Z uporabo lidarsko zajetih podatkov smo razvili dva pristopa in ju ovrednotili z vidika njune nadaljnje uporabnosti. Ugotovili smo, da je za učinkovito prepoznavanje in evidentiranje mejic pomembna ustrezna kombinacija metod, tudi geografsko terensko delo. Za ohranjanje mejic bodo, poleg metodološko ustreznega in ažurnega evidentiranja, odločilni medsektorsko usklajeni ukrepi ter ciljno ozaveščanje kmetov in širše javnosti o raznovrstnih funkcijah mejic v kulturni kmetijski pokrajini.
The contribution presents the results of a comprehensive study of the Late Copper Age Deschmann’s pile-dwelling sites near Ig in the Ljubljansko barje, central Slovenia. It opens with a history of ...research and goes on to tackle the main topics associated with the cultural attribution of the sites. A re-examination of the recovered pottery and available archival records, coupled with a new typological and chronological analysis of the small finds has enabled a cultural and chronological redefinition of the Ljubljana culture and its characteristic pottery. In addition to the typical vessel forms, usually decorated with whipped-cord impressions, the newly-defined Ljubljana culture includes common ware that reveals influences primarily from the Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture in the Carpathian Basin. Some of the vessels of the Ljubljana culture also follow the tradition of the Vučedol culture, while others reflect the influences and maybe contacts with the Corded Ware, Globular Amphora and Bell Beaker cultures.
In the 4th millennium cal BC the hinterlands of Ljubljansko barje basin were covered by beech-fir (Abies-Fagus) and mixed oak (Quercus) forests. People of several Eneolithic cultural groups were ...cutting/burning forests to open the landscape for fields and pastures. This paper focuses on high-resolution palynological analyses of pile-dwelling settlements Maharski prekop, Stare gmajne and Blatna Brezovica to investigate human impact on the vegetation, and to compare past economy and vegetation history in various parts of Ljubljansko barje. The results revealed that there were no major changes of vegetation throughout the 4th millennium cal. BC, neither were there any major differences between vegetation of the selected study sites. Cultural layers from archaeological sites (in larger quantities than off-site cores) contain pollen of plants that were brought to the settlement by people: cereals and other cultivars (Cereal t., Linum), weeds (Centaurea), grazing indicators (Plantago lanceolata, Campanula, Ranunculaceae), ruderal taxa (Chenopodiaceae, Artemisia), (gathered) shrubs (Corylus) and herbs. Traces of anthropogenic impacts from older settlements were detected in sediments below archaeological cultural layers at all study sites.
It is assumed that people practiced woodland management, i.e., coppicing and pollarding, in prehistory, but details are poorly known. This study aims for a better understanding of woodland ...exploitation through time in the wetland basin of the Ljubljansko barje, Slovenia, from 3700-2400 BCE (Before Common Era). To do so, uncarbonized, waterlogged wood from 16 Eneolithic pile dwellings situated in two geographical clusters that cover a time span of c. 1300 years were subjected to age/diameter analysis. It is the first time that age/diameter analysis has been applied to multiple sites from the same region. The investigated posts represent a wide range of taxa, but oak (
sp.) and ash (
sp.) represent 75% of the total, indicating selective use of wood for this purpose. Diameter selection of ash may have taken place as well. At both site clusters, the age/diameter data do not reveal any unequivocal evidence for woodland management. Only at the youngest sites do the data possibly show some gradually changing practices. The outcomes are discussed within the framework of recent discussions about woodland management in Europe.
