Članek se ukvarja z analizo grobov, izkopanih pri Župni cerkvi v Kranju, ki so bili na podlagi dosedanjih raziskav opredeljeni kot najstarejši na tem grobišču. Za takšne so bili do zdaj ...opredeljeni grobovi (večinoma) brez pridatkov, ki so bili globoko vkopani v prostorne in med seboj pravilno razmeščene grobne jame, obložene s kamni oz. lesom in orientirane proti vzhodu. Posamezne skupine takšnih grobov, izkopanih do leta 1984, so bile na podlagi arheoloških primerjav datirane v konec 7. in v 8. st.
Analiza stratigrafije grobov celotnega grobišča, v katero smo vključili tudi ugotovitve poznejših izkopavanj in pregled zgodovine raziskav, pokažejo, da pri grobovih, do zdaj opredeljenih kot najstarejših, ni šlo vselej za stratigrafsko najstarejše grobove in da so bile med nekaterimi tudi superpozicije.
V prispevku skušamo ugotoviti čas začetka pokopavanja na podlagi starih in novih kronoloških podatkov (relativna kronologija grobov in tipokronologija). Za izbrane stratigrafsko najstarejše grobove na tem grobišču prvič prinašamo radiokarbonske datacije (14C), ki smo jih časovno zožili z datacijami stratigrafsko mlajših grobov s predmeti. Obravnavani grobovi se po gradnji groba ločijo na dve skupini. Pokopavanje se je začelo najverjetneje v 8. st., pred letom 774/775 (14C) s prvo skupino, z možnim trajanjem vse do začetka pokopavanja druge skupine. Druga skupina grobov ni starejša od leta 774 in se je začela že pred začetkom 9. st. ali najpozneje takrat.
The evolution of the Slovenian Basin southern margin is currently interpreted based on the successions outcropping in the surroundings of Škofja Loka, on the Ponikve Plateau and in the foothills of ...the Julian Alps in western Slovenia, as well as from the valley of the Mirna River in south-eastern Slovenia. However, no extensive research on this paleogeographic unit has been carried out in the northern part of the Sava Folds region. Recent field observations permitted the recognition of Upper Triassic to lowermost Cretaceous successions of the Slovenian Basin, including the recently described Middle Jurassic Ponikve Breccia Member of the Tolmin Formation. Based on reambulation-type geological mapping, macroscopic facies observations supported by microfacies analysis and biostratigraphy, three stratigraphic columns were constructed showcasing Slovenian Basin formations on the northern flank of the Trojane Anticline (Sava Folds region). These newly described successions encompass Upper Triassic (Bača Dolomite Formation) and Jurassic–lowermost Cretaceous resedimented limestones and pelagic formations, while the attribution of the Pseudozilian Formation is complex. Based on facies characteristics these successions are similar to those preserved in the Podmelec Nappe (lowermost thrust unit of the Tolmin Nappe) in western Slovenia. The connection between the western and the eastern Slovenian Basin during the Late Triassic-Early Cretaceous interval could be thus recognised.
The uppermost Ladinian to Lower Jurassic Zatrnik Formation is the lithostratigraphic unit of the Mesozoic deeper marine Bled Basin. The uppermost part of the Zatrnik Formation and the transition into ...the overlying Ribnica Breccia was logged at the Zajamniki mountain pasture on the Pokljuka mountain plateau in the Julian Alps. The lowermost part the section belongs to the “classical” Zatrnik Formation and is dominated by beige micritic limestone and fine-grained calcarenite. Foraminifers Siphovalvulina, ?Everticyclammina, ?Mesoendothyra and ?Pseudopfenderina are present, indicating Early Jurassic age. The beige limestone is followed by light pink limestone of the uppermost Zatrnik Formation. Slumps are common in this interval, and crinoids are abundant. Alongside some species already present in beds lower in the succession, Meandrovoluta asiagoensis Fugagnoli & Rettori, Trocholina sp., Valvulinidae, small Textulariidae, Lagenida, and small ?Ophthalmidium also occur in this interval. Resedimented limestone predominates through the studied part of the Zatrnik Formation, indicating deposition on the slope or at the foot of the slope of the basin. The switch to crinoid-rich facies within the slumped interval of the Zatrnik Formation may reflect accelerated subsidence of the margins of the Julian Carbonate Platform in the Pliensbachian. The Zatrnik Formation is followed by the formation of the Pliensbachian (?) Ribnica Breccia. Impregnations of ferromanganese oxides, violet colour, and an increase in clay content are characteristic. The foraminiferal assemblage consists of Lenticulina, small elongated Lagenida, and epistominids. Individual beds of the Ribnica Breccia were deposited via debris flows. Enrichments in ferromanganese oxides point to slower sedimentation.
Kao povijesna velebitska prometnica Majstorska cesta uvrštena je na popis kulturnih dobara Republike Hrvatske 2007. godine, ponajprije stoga što je od izgradnje i puštanja u promet 1832. godine do ...danas očuvana u izvornoj trasi od Obrovca do lokaliteta Paljenik na sjeverozapadnome kraju mjesta Sveti Rok. Cesta leži na sedimentnim stijenama stratigrafskoga raspona od gornjega karbona do gornjega paleogena ili od 315 milijuna godina do oko 25 milijuna godina prije današnjice. To je raspon od 290 milijuna godina. Uglavnom su to izvrsno otkriveni vapnenci i dolomiti, a dijelom i klastične naslage. Spomenuti izdanci čine jedinstvenu reprezentativnu i znanstveno važnu prirodnu vrijednost u Hrvatskoj i na svjetskoj razini. Izgrađuju ne samo Velebit nego i sve karbonatne stijene krških Dinarida i kao takve jedinstven su prirodni geološki muzej važan kako za hrvatsko ozemlje, tako i za područja izgrađena od plitkomorskih karbonatnih stijena Sredozemlja u širemu geološkom smislu, tj. od Meksika i Kariba preko gorskih lanaca Atlasa, Pireneja, Alpa, Karpata, Dinarida, Helenida, Pontida, Taurida, Iranida do Himalaja. Najvažnija geološka znamenitost jest profil od prijevoja Mali Alan do Tulovih greda. Radi se o kontinuiranome profilu kroz jurske karbonatne stijene, tipskome za čitave krške Dinaride, u stratigrafskome rasponu od hetangija do sredine titona (raspon geološke starosti od 201,3 do oko 148 milijuna godina prije sadašnjosti), uključujući provodne fosile i kompletan stratigrafski slijed naslaga (stijena) te uvid u dodir jurskih sa starijim, trijaskim naslagama. Kao višedesetljetni istraživači Velebita (od 1962. godine do danas) željeli bismo upozoriti na potrebu zaštite spomenutih izdanaka stijena i jurske starosti. Geologija Majstorske ceste opisana je smjerom od Svetoga Roka prema Obrovcu.
U radu se razmatraju nedoumice i slabosti tradicionalne, kulturno-istorijske arheologije u interpretaciji neolitske tranzicije, tj. prelaza starčevačke u vinčansku kulturu. Ukazano je na njihove ...uzroke: oslanjanje na tipologiju keramičkih nalaza i uverenje da se procesi moraju registrovati cezurama u vertikalnoj stratigrafiji, kao i na potrebu za preispitivanjem tog problema, pre svega iz ugla tehnoloških tradicija, tj. stila, sa ciljem identifikacije grupnih identiteta.
Numerous Neolithic sites from the territory of modern Serbia and adjacent areas have traditionally been attributed, on the grounds of the archaeological finds, to two “cultures” – Starčevo and Vinča. ...Their definition and relativechronological demarcation have been based upon the extreme abundance of pottery finds; unsurprisingly, the issues of transition between “early” and “late” Neolithic have also been treated from the culture-historical point of view, above all according to the qualities of shards. Differing opinions concerning the role of the Central Balkans in the process of transition led to several different solutions to the problem. By the end of 1990s, the issue of the Neolithic transition has been totally neglected, in spite of the fact that extensive field research has been conducted since then and a number of new sites have been identified. On the other hand, the current archaeological approaches treating the variability of archaeological material (pottery) and interpretation based upon the analysis of technological style with the aim to identify social groups, i.e. group identities, would be highly appropriate for the study of transition processes. Pottery is still crucial, but not as a corpus of material with certain typological characteristics, but as a source of information on socially conditioned practices (techniques of production, ways of learning and transferring knowledge), as the consequences of specific traditions. The research into the problem of the Neolithic transition from this angle would offer answers to crucial, but yet unresolved questions.
The book Medieval Archaeology of Bled Island is presenting the results of a state-of-the-art archaeological analysis of data from archaeological excavations of the 1962 and 1964.
Approximately 200 meters to the southeast of the village of Garbina in the immediate vicinity of Porec, Croatia, the existence of a heretofore unknown cave was confirmed as a result of trial ...archaeological explorations in September and October of 2013. Eight probes yielded fragments from the early and late modern era, the period of antiquity, the Bronze Age, as well as Eneolithic and Neolithic pottery, flint utensils, and the remains of human and animal bones, seashells and snails. This paper is based on a typological study of the most characteristic fragments of prehistoric pottery. Publication Abstract
The text consists of two parts: the first one analysing the item called šaraga in the holdings of the Department of Culture and History of the Varaždin City Museum, and providing insight into its ...initial owners, members of the aristocratic family of Leitner, and the second one giving a comprehensive description of the complex restoration and conservation works conducted by the experts of the Restoration Department in Ludbreg within the Croatian Conservation Institute in Zagreb. In the collection of the Varaždin City Museum, an interesting, but severely damaged object was found, on which no museum records were detected. The research confirmed that the item was of significant artistic and cultural value and that it represented a part of a carriage in the former ownership of the Leitner family from Varaždin. Owing to the data collected and the evaluation of the item, it was enlisted in the conservation program of the Croatian Conservation Institute.
