U radu su prikazani rezultati antropološke analize srednjovjekovnog i novovjekovnog kumulativnog uzorka s područja Dalmacije. Analizirani su pokazatelji subadultnog stresa cribra orbitalia i ...hipoplazija zubne cakline te njihova međusobna korelacija, kao i korelacija s doživljenom dobi i pokazateljem nespecifičih zaraznih bolesti – periostitisom.
Rezultati rada doprinose razumijevanju životnih uvjeta djece na arheološkim lokalitetima Dalmacije, te njihovoj usporedbi s uvjetima života djece u kontinentalnoj Hrvatskoj i okruženju. Analiza je pokazala nešto bolje životne uvjete u Dalmaciji nego u kontinentalnoj Hrvatskoj, no količina stresa kojoj su bila izložena djeca na obama uzorcima iznimno je visoka, a šansa za preživljavanje do odrasle dobi mala.
The territory of present-day Serbia comprises the area of the former Roman provinces of Moesia Superior, Pannonia Inferior, Dalmatia and Barbaricum (the region between Pannonia Inferior and Dacia). ...The turbulent events of the 3rd century, which were frequent in the Balkans, left behind numerous coin hoards as significant historical sources. Thus far, 94 coin hoards have been found, ranging from Septimius Severus and Caracalla to Diocletian.
Historians often write in general about how a state or administration ‘implemented’ or ‘introduced’ reforms. Of course, an administration does make certain decisions but, in modern times, whole ...groups of officials are responsible for their realisation. This is the duty of the official apparatus. The success of a given reform is dependent not only on the theory prepared in the silence of the cabinet, but also on its implementation in practice. For this reason, it is important to understand who the officials were and what was their position in the Habsburg Monarchy, where the administration had been one of the most important lynchpins of the functioning of the state since the time of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. It was no different in Dalmatia, where, as we shall later see, every reform of the central authorities increased the number of sections and therefore the number of officials. Regardless, the topic of officials who worked in Dalmatia in the period of the second Austrian administration did not draw the appropriate attention of Yugoslav and Croatian historians until now.This paper analyses the development of the officialdom in Dalmatia during the ‘second Austrian government’, from 1814 to 1914, when World War I began. We wish to show how the civil administration changed from the perspective of the officials, who were responsible for the realisation of the administration’s policies. The officialdom had a great influence, and deserves to be given more attention in historiography.
We can often learn as much from political movements that failed as from those that achieved their goals.Nationalists Who Feared the Nation looks at one such frustrated movement: a group of community ...leaders and writers in Venice, Trieste, and Dalmatia during the 1830s, 40s, and 50s who proposed the creation of a multinational zone surrounding the Adriatic Sea. At the time, the lands of the Adriatic formed a maritime community whose people spoke different languages and practiced different faiths but identified themselves as belonging to a single region of the Hapsburg Empire. While these activists hoped that nationhood could be used to strengthen cultural bonds, they also feared nationalism's homogenizing effects and its potential for violence. This book demonstrates that not all nationalisms attempted to create homogeneous, single-language, -religion, or -ethnicity nations. Moreover, in treating the Adriatic lands as one unit, this book serves as a correction to "national" histories that impose our modern view of nationhood on what was a multinational region.
Throughout its millennial history, humanity has been confronted with numerous infectious diseases and even global pandemics since time immemorial, with an insufficient level of health culture. Among ...the most famous and most terrible pandemics, the source and focus of which was most often in the Far East with a low health culture were pandemics of leprosy, plague, smallpox, cholera, tuberculosis, malaria, and the latest pandemic Corona virus SARS cov-2 covid-19 They also aff ected our region and Dalmatia, which has always had extensive communications throughout the Mediterranean and the world. Half a billion people or 2/3 of the inhabitants of Europe and its recurrences are recorded until the beginning of the 21st century. The development of mass tourism with all the health benefits of temporary changes in the working and living environment and living in healthsaving areas (sea, lakes, mountains ...), due to large globalized intercontinental migrations at the same time results in large pollution and environmental destruction and intensive contacts for the spread of epidemics pai pandemic infectious diseases.Positive but also negative experiences and the scale of pandemics of infectious diseases and activities for their prevention and control are considered on a global scale and especially in the area of the famous Croatian Mediterranean region of Dalmatia, as a crossroads of demographic, economic and cultural communications to Europe and the world. Understanding and analyzing the occurrence and legality of occurrence, development, spread and duration of periodic recurrence of epidemics and pandemics, as well as their suppression and prevention throughout the millennium history, with sociocultural and touristic interaction which is discussed in this paper, can be a valuable reference point in the current pandemic SARS Cov-2 Covid 19, which has seriously threatened the world with so far (31.01.21.) an estimated over 100 million patients and 2 million deaths ( in Croatia over200 000 patients and 5000 deaths) with, in some european countries, a worrying progression that despite the efforts of the health epidemiological profession is not waning. However, with the drastic measures taken by the National Staff , the situation with the pandemic at the end of January 2021 is gradually easing, which allows for a cautious relaxation of measures. Following this is the announcement of further cautious easing of measures with the intention that Croatia, as a “corona free” destination, welcomes the upcoming tourist season on which the entire Dalmatian and whole Croatian economy depends.
Preliminary analysis of coin finds from the area of the Roman
legionary fortress at Tilurium (today the village of Gardun, near
Trilj) is presented in this paper. The scholarly analysis encompasses
...the finds yielded by systematic archaeological excavations,
as well as finds today stored in the Museum of the Cetina
Region, in Sinj. Most of the coin finds date to a period from the
first half of the 1st century AD, with a noticeable reduction in
coin supply starting in the second half of the 1st century and
continuing during the 2nd century. The period of the 3rd century,
and the period of late antiquity, in the 4th and 5th centuries, again
shows some increase, but the quantity of coin finds in these
centuries is smaller than the amount pertaining to the period of
the Principate. The dating of numismatic finds therefore largely
overlaps with the dating of Tilurium as a Roman legionary fortress
and then a fort used by auxiliary contingents.
The imbricated margin of stable Adria, which belongs to the External Dinarides, comprises a chain of islands, which follow the dominant NW-SE Dinaric trend in the northern segment, while the dominant ...tectonic orientation changes to WNW-ESE in the central Adriatic area, near Split. The new paleomagnetic results documented in this paper are from the islands of the latter and can be interpreted in terms of tectonics together with already published robust data sets from the Northern Adriatic Islands and stable Adria, respectively. The problems addressed are the proposed extra CCW rotation in the central Adriatic area relative to the rest of the Dinarides, the differences in the tectonostratigraphic models of the offshore External Dinarides, the relationship to Stable Adria and the reason for the arcuated shape of the thrust front between stable and imbricated Adria.
From the five largest Central and Southern Adriatic Islands over 1000 independently oriented cores, representing 98 Upper Tithonian – Paleocene carbonate localities, were subjected to standard laboratory processing of the natural remanent magnetization, component analysis, and statistical evaluation on locality and between locality levels. The results lead to the conclusion that these islands moved in close co-ordination with both, the Northern Adriatic Islands and stable Adria, at least from the Albian on. The different tectonic trends characterizing the islands and reflected also in the arcuated shape of the thrust front between Stable and Imbricated Adria is explained by the dominance of one of the Late Cretaceous and younger compressional strain fields. The structures due to the Late Cretaceous strain field are dominant in Cres island (N-S trend), the ones formed during the Late Eocene-Early Oligocene prevail in the Northern Adriatic islands (NW-SE trend), SE of Cres. The WSW-ENE general orientation of the structures in the Central Adriatic area is due to the strong neotectonic deformation.
•There is no evidence for post-Aptian relative movement between the Adriatic islands.•The changing tectonic trend of the islands reflect differently oriented strain fields.•The Adriatic islands moved in close co-ordination with stable Adria after the Aptian.•The arcuated thrust front SW of the islands matches the tectonic trend of the islands.
Reforestation has been one of the main forestry activities in the karst terrain of Dalmatia, Croatia, for more than a century. This paper examines the history behind reforestation schemes in ...Dalmatia, a kingdom at the periphery of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It explores how the ideas of Austrian foresters, based at the centre of Empire, were transmitted and put into practice. Late nineteenth-century forestry debates in contemporary forestry texts and the Šumarski list, the forestry journal published since 1877, are analysed and different narratives concerning the lack of woodland explored. The paper goes on to examine how reforestation of the karst was carried out in the region around Šibenik making use of local archives, historical maps, cadastral surveys, and photographs. Disputes between foresters and local villagers who wished to protect their grazing rights are uncovered and a link between the development of tourism and the selection of sites to be reforested is identified.
