Ram’s head beads are well-known items of personal adornment in the Dolenjska Hallstatt cultural group. Recent analysis has demonstrated that they are the most common zoomorphic artefacts in this ...region with 187 currently known. This article updates the list of known beads and contextualizes their significance in the Dolenjska Hallstatt cultural group. It is argued that the sheep imagery of these beads and their distribution in female graves is related to local textile production. It is proposed that beads signalled aspects of personal and economic identity for Dolenjska Hallstatt women related to the production of high-quality textiles. In addition, the distribution of these beads demonstrates Iron Age community networks on the western frontier of Dolenjska, and perhaps even reflects the movement of women between communities.
We present data from six years (January 2016–December 2021) of monitoring the isotope composition of precipitation at the Sv. Urban station in Eastern Slovenia. The 68 precipitation samples were ...collected as a monthly composite. The complete dataset (193 data pints) includes information on the stable isotope composition of hydrogen (δ2H) and oxygen (δ18O) and tritium activity concentration (A), obtained using isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and liquid scintillation counting (LSC) following electrolytic enrichment (EE), respectively. The isotope data, together with meteorological data, are reported. Calculations of the deuterium excess (d-excess), monthly, seasonal, and annual unweighted and precipitation-weighted means and local meteoric water lines (LMWLs) were conducted. The mean values for δ2H, δ18O, d-excess, and A, weighted by precipitation, were −59.9‰, −8.81‰, 10.6‰, and 7.7 TU. The disparities between unweighted and precipitation-weighted δ2H, δ18O, d-excess, A, and LMWLs underscore the significance of non-uniformly distributed precipitation. Annual variations in slope and intercept of the LMWLs emphasize the importance of longer data records (48+ months) to capture consistent trends, while combining data over longer periods may distort accuracy due to distinct isotope differences between individual years related to the variability of climate conditions typical for Slovenia.
V prispevku predstavljamo sledove eneolitske poselitve in najdbe, ki jih je leta 1956 pri izkopavanju gomile iz srednje bronaste dobe na območju Podgraškove domačije v Brezju pod Brinjevo goro odkril ...Stanko Pahič. Gre za keramične fragmente in kamnita orodja. Lončenino lahko večinoma opredelimo v lasinjsko kulturo zgodnjega eneolitika oz. bakrene dobe.
The construction of the motorway network in Slove-nia uncovered an archaeological site at Rogoza, which became a case study for an Urnfield period settlement even before it ...was fully published. Potter y and radio-carbon dates, to some extent, indicate that the area was inhabited in other periods as well. It yielded finds from the Early Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age, the Late Iron Age and the Roman period.This paper introduces pottery, metal and stone finds from the Urnfield period and includes results of analyses of metal, stone finds, bones and plant remains. It also presents the development of the settlement at Rogoza and the Urnfield period settlement patterns in eastern Slovenia, knowledge of which has considerably increased during the last decade, marked by intense archaeological fieldwork.
The aim of the present study was to establish a reference site and its soil characteristics for use of fallout radionuclides in erosion studies in Slovenia. Prior to this study, no reference site and ...baseline data existed for Slovenia for this purpose. In the agricultural area of Goričko in East Slovenia, an undisturbed forest situated in Šalamenci (46°44’N, 16°7’E), was selected to establish the inventory value of fallout
137Cs and to establish a baseline level of multi-elemental fingerprint (major, minor, trace elements including heavy metals) and naturally occurring radionuclides in soils. A total of 20 soil profiles were collected at four 10 cm depth increments for evaluation of baseline level of
137Cs inventory. An exponential distribution for
137Cs was found and the baseline level inventory was established at 7300 ± 2500 Bq m
−2 with a coefficient of variation of 34%. Of this mean present-day inventory, approximately 45% is due to the Chernobyl contribution.
The physical degradation of soils through erosion is linked with biochemical degradation. This study introduces an approach to establishment of the naturally occurring radionuclide and elemental fingerprints baseline levels at a reference site which can provide comparative data to those from neighbouring agricultural fields for assessment of soil redistribution magnitude using fallout radionuclides. In addition, this information will be used to determine the impact of soil erosion processes and agricultural practices on soil quality and redistribution within agricultural landscapes in Slovenia.
Razvojne inicijative generiraju se u lokalnoj okolini. Ideje se mreže i taj proces uključuje politike različitih gospodarskih sektora na multi-institucionalnoj razini. Svijest i prepoznavanje ...lokalnih vrijednosti, ekoloških, kulturnih i društvenih, je glavni motivacijski faktor u lokalnim zajednicama prilikom postavljanja razvojnih projekata. Znanje je postalo presudno za regionalne, inovacijske i razvojne procese. Teorije endogenog rasta, kao i koncept četverostruke spirale naglašavaju ulogu institucija znanja, ne samo u stvaranju znanja i ideja, ali i u njihovom prijenosu u praktičnu primjenu. Znanstveno-istraživačke institucije, kao i obrazovne institucije imaju nezamjenjivu ulogu u doprinosu gospodarskom razvoju i tehnološkom napretku regija. U slučaju prijenosa znanja i znanstvenih spoznaja u praksu, potrebno je krenuti od cijelog kompleksa gospodarskih, socijalnih i ekoloških uvjeta za razvoj. Institucije znanja sudjeluju u rješavanju globalnih izazova i doprinosu ekonomskom i tehnološkom razvoju i društvenom napretku lokalnih zajednica i regija. Cilj Sveučilišta u Mariboru je razviti inovativni ekosustav, koji će stvoriti simbiozu između Sveučilišta, gospodarstva i lokalne zajednice kroz otvorene inovacije i tehnologije, te kroz stvaranje znanja za nova zanimanja. Kapacitet regija za potporu procesa učenja i inovacija ključni je izvor konkurentske prednosti. Ljudski kapital je osnovni pokretač regionalnih inovacija. Inovacije nisu samo o tehnologiji - riječ je o promjeni u ljudskom ponašanju.
Članek temelji na preučevanju terenskega gradiva o čarovništvu,
zbranega v ruralnem okolju vzhodne Slovenije v letih 2000-2002.
Avtorica poskuša pokazati na večplastnost verovanjskega sistema
...čarovništva - tj. na različne plasti in različne kategorije „čarovnic“
na tem območju. Te zahtevajo različne obrambne tehnike (včasih tudi
odhod k nasprotniku čarovnic), imajo različne funkcije v skupnosti,
ljudje imajo do njih različen odnos, jim pripisujejo različne izvore
njihovih (škodljivih) dejanj, različen pa je tudi diskurz.
