Ribe so gotovo pomenile vsaj majhen delež v prehrani ljudi, ki so prebivali na osrednjem slovenskem ozemlju. To dokazujejo tudi najdbe njihovih ostankov iz pleistocenskih in holocenskih (kvartarnih) ...plasti nekaterih arheoloških in paleontoloških najdišč. Zelo malo prispevkov obravnava kvartarne ostanke rib, še manj jih te tudi slikovno prikazuje in opredeljuje. V prispevku želimo prikazati najdbe, ki so shranjene v paleontoloških zbirkah Prirodoslovnega muzeja Slovenije in prihajajo z najdišč na Ljubljanskem barju (Opekarna pri Vrhniki, Breg pri Škofljici, Dežmanova kolišča pri Igu) in iz Križne jame na Notranjskem. Na osnovi ostankov smo iz pleistocenskih glin pri Vrhniki določili ostanke ščuke (Esox lucius). Z mezolitskega najdišča Breg pri Škofljici smo določili ostanke ščuke (Esox lucius), soma (Silurus glanis) in smuča (Sander lucioperca). Iz bakreno- in bronastodobnih (holocenskih) plasti na Ljubljanskem barju (Dežmanova kolišča pri Igu) smo določili ostanke ščuke (Esox lucius). Najbolj enigmatični pa so ostanki krapa (Cyprinus carpio) iz Križne jame, saj gre za nenavadno najdišče rib. Verjetno jih lahko povežemo z obiski ljudi v bronasti dobi ali še mlajših obdobjih.
U arheologiji je Ljubljansko barje poznato po sojenicama i stanovnicima koji su tamo obitavali, doduše s prekidima, negdje od polovine 5. tisućljeća do druge polovine 2. tisućljeća pr. Kr. Njihovi ...tragovi izniman su izvor informacija o životu u prapovijesti, ali jedino planska interdisciplinarna istraživanja omogućuju razmjerno pouzdan uvid u svakodnevicu vremena u kojem su živjeli.
Results of the survey of wintering Great Grey Shrikes Lanius excubitor at Ljubljansko barje in winters 2008/09, 2011/12 and 2012/13 are presented. The census was conducted by 30-60 volunteers of the ...Ljubljana branch of DOPPS - BirdLife Slovenia. The survey area was divided into 13-20 census plots. Locations of Great Grey Shrikes, types of structures on which the shrikes perched, and heights of their perches were recorded. The numbers of wintering Great Grey Shrikes at Ljubljansko barje were estimated at 57 (2008/09), 51 (2011/12) and 67 (2012/13) individuals. Crude densities in the census area were 4.2, 3.7 and 4.9 individuals/10 km
2
, whereas maximal local densities reached 15.0, 14.6 and 14.8 individuals/10 km
2
. The analysis of the actual land use revealed higher densities of Great Grey Shrikes in the areas with a higher proportion of grassland and a lower proportion of arable fields and gardens in winter 2008/09; there was no such gradient in the other two winters. Great Grey Shrikes were most often observed in treetops, on powerlines and bushes in winters 2011/12 and 2012/13, while in winter 2008/09 they were more often observed on herbaceous stems and less often on powerlines. Moreover, the heights of their perches were lower than in the other two winters.
The paper presents the results of lipid analyses of pottery samples from Ho≠evarica (Ljub- ljansko barje, Slovenia). Total lipid extracts were subjected to high temperature gas chromatography ...(HT-GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS). The results show that some vessels were used for prepar- ing ruminant meat and vegetable, but also the remains of aquatic food were identified. The processing of non-ruminant meat was detected in a few samples. A high number of pottery samples yielded the presence of beeswax lipids. The charred residual on pottery was AMS 14C dated.
Članek obravnava način okraševanja poznobakrenodobne in zgodnjebronastodobne keramike ljubljanske kulture ter pramenaste keramike. O okraševanju izdelkov ljubljanske kulture najdemo v literaturi ...različne razlage in poimenovanja. Natančna opredelitev tehnike okraševanja je pomembna tako kronološko kot kulturološko. Z eksperimenti smo poskušali dognati, s kakšnimi pripomočki bi bil lahko izdelan značilen okras odtisa niti. Ugotovili smo, da je bil najverjetneje vtisnjen s ploščatim orodjem, okrog katerega so bile navite niti živalskega ali rastlinskega izvora.
In this paper we show the results of a study concerning 42 axes, mainly discovered in the Copper Age pile dwellings of Ljubljansko barje (central Slovenia) and in the neighbouring areas of Caput ...Adriae. The studied shaft‐hole axes, characterized by homogeneous typology but slightly different raw materials, have been called ‘Ljubljana‐type’ axes (Lt). The raw materials show a common OIB‐like signature and metamorphic and spilitization features that recall oceanic conditions. The typological and geochemical characteristics and the very high percentage of Lt axes among the polished stone axe assemblages of Ljubljansko barje suggest that the raw material was probably gathered from one or more relatively small outcrops close to Ljubljansko barje. Similar igneous rock types outcrop in the presumably Palaeozoic diabase/shale complex (Eisenkappler Diabaszug), intruded by the northern Karawanken plutonic belt. A probable provenance from this area, particularly rich in copper ore deposit, would confirm the important role of Ljubljansko barje as a metallurgical district, as well as a strong relation between lithic raw materials and Cu cultivation districts during the Copper age.
The palaeoecological study, presented in this paper, investigates the biomorphic (phytoliths and other biological microfossils), loss-on-ignition and pollen records in the sedimentary sequence of the ...Blatna Brezovica Eneolithic settlement (Ljubljansko barje, Slovenia, ca.3100cal B.C.). At the beginning of the 4th millennium cal B.C., the study site was covered by a freshwater lake, surrounded by a broadleaved Quercus–Fagus forest. In subsequent centuries, people settled at the Blatna Brezovica location, albeit the hydrological conditions remained wet and the archaeological settlement was likely located in the vicinity of a river. People living at Blatna Brezovica constructed wooden houses, whereas Phragmites plants were likely used for roofs and/or bedding. Eventually, the landscape became more open due to agriculture (Hordeum cultivation) and grazing. After the abandonment of the settlement at the end of the 4th millennium cal B.C., hydrological conditions became drier, marsh formed at the study site, and predominantly Abies forest grew around the basin.
► We made a multidisciplinary palaeoecological research. ► The past environment and vegetation changes were studied. ► We reconstruct ‘lifestyle’ of Eneolithic settlement. ► Palaeoenvironmental reconstruction before, during and after prehistoric settlement was done.
This popular-science publication describes the pile-dwellings of the Ljubljansko barje, which were created in the first half of the 5th millennium BC. However, when the lake was completely overgrown ...with swamps and marshes (at the latest around the middle of the 2nd millennium), the construction of such settlements stopped. From then on, new settlements were built on the outskirts of the lake banks, where the fields were previously. There they also farmed livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. They were accompanied by dogs. Hunting and fishing were also important economic activities~they harvested fruits in the forests. They made pottery vessels. Findings of copper and metallurgical articles, however, prove that at least since the 4th millennium BC they were engaged in copper metallurgy. Logboats were used to navigate the lake and in the second half of the 4th millennium even for routes outside the Ljubljansko barje. In short, they were very resourceful and were able to adapt well to the environment in which they lived.Only in Slovenian
In this article, a new look at old material, pottery, is presented, as the technology and operational sequences of pottery from the Neolithic and Eneolithic in Slovenia is mostly understudied. Here, ...the focus is on 5th and 4th millennia BC artefacts from the eastern part of Ljubljansko barje and sites, such as Resnikov prekop, Maharski prekop and Breg near πkofljica. The pottery was studied with a hand lens and petrographically, using an optical polarising microscope. The results were then compared to analyses of locally gathered clays and sediments. Pottery traditions at Resnikov prekop and Breg were different from those at Maharski prekop, although the vessels from all three sites were produced locally and mostly made from local material, but with different recipes or fabrics. The selection of raw material, the shaping and decorating of pots, their firing and use were probably more related to different traditions and individual choices of potters at these sites than to purely technological choices.
