Utrjena višinska naselbina na Sv. Pavlu nad Vrtovinom je znana že vse od leta 1866, a je bila dolgo razumljena zgolj kot prazgodovinsko gradišče. Sondiranja v letu 1966 so potrdila obstoj ...poznoantične utrjene naselbine in nakazala gosto poselitev v njenem severnem delu. Lidarsko skeniranje površja, terenski obhodi in različni zračni posnetki so v zadnjem času razkrili poleg številnih manjših enoprostornih hiš na severni polovici platoja še veliko različno oblikovanih bivalnih zgradb na južni polovici. Predstavljen je pregled na najdišču vidnih obrambnih in bivalnih struktur ter pod naselbino stoječega vodnega stolpa. Pod sedanjo cerkvijo Sv. Pavla se nakazuje večja dvojna zgodnjekrščanska cerkev z dobro prepoznavnima prezbiterijema, enoladijska cerkev z narteksom in baptisterijem pa je vidna tudi na južni strani naselbine. Bivalna, sakralna in obrambna arhitektura kaže na veliko semiurbano naselbino z osrednjimi upravno-religioznimi funkcijami. V drugi polovici 5. in 6. st. se je vanjo zateklo romansko prebivalstvo Vipavske doline.
In recent years, there has been a lively discussion that focuses, either partially or more integrally, on the claustra Alpium Iuliarum barrier system, its inclusion in the poorly understood tractus ...Italiae circa Alpes and the Late Roman defence of northern Italy in general. This contribution adds to the discussion and first tackles the different dating of the forts and fortlets of the claustra system and the late dating of the barrier walls by some authors. The contribution briefly deals with the identification of the forts of the tractus, which is understood as part of a broadly-based defence of Italy rather than a single sector of defence in the Julian Alps. It also tackles the chronology and character of the fortified hilltop sites that have, in a certain period and in certain places, a completely military character and point to a defence-in-depth of Italy
The review introduces a short characterization of the contents and terminology of the period. The development and implementation of the Late Antiquity in Slovenia is presented, in which intensive ...investigations carried out since the seventies and onwards shed light on the as of yet poorly known heterogeneity and density of the settlement pattern. Changes in the settlement structure are discussed in greater detail: the process of towns and other settlements in the lowlands perishing on the one hand, and the rise of a multitude of fortified hill-top settlements, especially in the more remote regions, on the other. Hill-top settlements can be well distinguished according to typology and chronology, they represent the most commonly investigated settlement phenomenon during the Late Antiquity in the eastern alpine region. Cemeteries serve to supplement the settlement picture; they are only partly well researched and likewise, so are the various types of fine material finds that are highly illustrative of the lives of the then population. The supplemented settlement picture of the current day Slovene region prior to the arrival of the Slavs is quite influential upon our understanding of the ethnogenesis of Slovenes.
The monograph presents the results of two-year excavations (1982 and 1983) on the late-antique fortified hilltop settlement Korinjski hrib above Veliki Korini in Suha Krajina, where the remains of ...five defence towers and an early Christian church were explored. The settlement was initially recognized as a military post and as such represented an exception in the Eastern Alpine area. Such a definition raised some doubts and dilemmas. These dilemmas are presented - in addition to geographical outline and research history - in the Introduction.The following set presents - in text and with abundant graphic material – field reports of excavations of towers, the church, and a small cemetery.All groups of finds (non-pottery, pottery and coins) and anthropological and archaeological studies are also presented.An extensive chapter is devoted to the interpretation of architectural remains (towers, church, the fort as a whole).The conclusion also discusses the prehistoric settlement, and the results of structural survey of the ruins of church of St George just below the fort.
One of the most important and largest Late Roman and Early Medieval sites in the eastern Alpine region is presented in this book. Two seasons of rescue excavations have illuminated the appearance of ...this densely inhabited settlement, which was occupied, perhaps only with minor breaks, from the 4th- 9th centuries AD. Seven partially destroyed wooden houses, a completely preserved stone cult structure, and part of a Late Roman child cemetery have enabled, along with the incorporation of information from earlier finds, the convincing reconstruction of existence in the settlement. Part of the dwellings at Tinje can be attributed to the period of the 7th-9th centuries. The excavations at Tinje have thus to a great extent broached the central problem of Slovenian ethnogenesis: the contact between the Romanized indigenous population and the immigrants Slavs. Coarse pottery predominates among the small finds, and it is presented in detail in the book. Material for comparative analysis was included from all more important Late Roman settlements in the eastern Alpine region, and this thus represents an introduction to the study of this most often found and highly indicative material. Tinje above Loka pri Žusmu has been confirmed with these results as an archaeological site of the highest category, of crucial importance for understanding the ethnogenesis of the Slovenians.
U članku će biti predstavljeni i preispitani neki primjeri kasnoantičkih gradnji od Mediteranskog Norika i Dalmacije, do Epira i Ahaje, koji su pripisani Justinijanovom vremenu. Pažnja će biti ...usmjerena na neke primjere linijskih obrambenih sustava, utvrđivanje bolje poznatih gradova te na gradnju i obnovu vojničkih utvrda. Za istočni Ilirik imamo dosta česte i katkad podrobne Prokopijeve opise, koje treba kritički pregledati kako bi se dobio realan pogled na obim Justinijanove djelatnosti. Za zapadni Ilirik ovakvih podataka, s nekolicinom manjih iznimki, nema, ali su arheološka istraživanja i terenski pregledi odlično sačuvane arhitekture u mediteranskom dijelu Ilirika omogućili dataciju gradnje i obnove brojnih objekata u Justinijanovo vrijeme.
This monograph presents the results of archaeological investigations of the Late Antique fortified hilltop settlement Tonovcov grad near Kobarid. This settlement is one of the best preserved Late ...Antique settlements in Slovenia and the southeastern Alpine area.In the first chapters, the geographical position and the research history are presented. Following are the overview of archaeological sites in the Soča River valley and the road network in Late Antiquity.
Kučar near Podzemelj represents one of the most significant archaeological sites not only in Slovenia but also in the wider southeastern alpine region. It is an extensive complex composed of an Iron ...Age and Late Roman settlement upon the hill Kučar, as well as numerous necropoli that are distributed throughout the villages of Podzemelj, Zemelj, Škrilje and Grm. The site is well-known all over the world for its elaborate material finds originating from the cemeteries there. The book presents the results from rescue excavations that were carried out between the years 1975 and 1979 on the northern top of Kučar by the Institute for Archaeology. Substantial remains of a settlement dating to the Early and Late Iron Ages (8th –1st centuries BC) were excavated, as well as the even more surprising discovery of an Early Christian building complex (5th century AD) incorporating two churches, a baptistery and a large building with an enclosing wall that was reinforced with two towers. This publication concerning the settlement on Kučar near Podzemelj is the third monograph regarding this site. The first two publications presented the material finds from the Iron Age necropolis, preserved at the National Museum in Ljubljana and at the Museum of Natural History in Vienna. This third publication includes a contribution by Metka Culiberg and Alojz Šercelj on the investigations of organic remains from Kučar.
V članku je predstavljen delno ohranjen marmorni spomenik, k i j e , vzidan v hišo, imel donedavna sekundarno uporabnost. Na dveh stranicah so skrbno izdelani reliefi: na prednji strani so v ...okrašenem okvirju razpostavljeni atributi Atisa in Kibele, na levi stranici pa atributi Apolona. Avtor primerja ta spomenik z nedokončano marmorno aro iz Celja, na kateri so na eni strani prav tako atributi Atisa in Kibele na drugi pa atributi Dioniza. Spomenika opozarjata na skupino sorodnih spomenikov v Celeji in njenem zaledju.
