Na sedlu severno od gradišča na Jelenšku nad Godovičem pri Idriji sta iskalca “ajdovskega zaklada z Jelenška” naletela na železnodobne grobove z bogatimi pridatki. Odkritju je leta 1993 sledilo ...zaščitno arheološko izkopavanje. Raziskanih je bilo 37 planih žganih grobov. Grobni pridatki kažejo zelo uniformno podobo in grobišče datirajo v mladohalštatski stopnji Sv. Lucija IIb2 in IIc. Med pokopanimi so bili bojevniki, rokodelec (livar), ženske in morda otroci. V članku kratko predstavljamo način pokopa in grobne pridatke ter utemeljujemo datacijo najdišča na primeru fibul. Sledi pred- stavitev nekaterih opažanj in izhodišč za analizo pomena najdišča v starejši železni dobi, ko je bil Jelenšek na meji dveh zahodnoslovenskih halštatskih skupin, posoške (svetolucijske) in notranjsko-kraške.
Z najdišča Gradec pri vasi Krn v Posočju izvirajo arheološke najdbe nakita, bronastih posod, orodja in orožja iz starejše in mlajše železne dobe, ki jih je izkopal nepooblaščen iskalec ...arheoloških najdb z detektorjem kovin. Med najdbami sta posebno pomembna bronasta figuralna situla iz konca 5. ali začetka 4. st. pr. n. št. ter bronasta čelada etruščansko-italske vrste iz 2. oz. začetka 1. st. pr. n. št. Terenske raziskave so pokazale, da je najditelj predmete izkopal iz žganih grobov, medtem ko je bila čelada morda prej votivni predmet kot grobni pridatek. Odkrit je bil tudi nedotaknjen bojevniški grob iz poznolatenske stopnje LT D1. Menimo, da je Gradec pri Krnu verjetno povezan z gorsko potjo, ki so jo v železni dobi uhodili po rudonosnem območju med dolino reke Soče in Bohinjem.
V članku obravnavamo skupino predmetov iz starejše železne dobe, ki so jih v devetdesetih letih 20. stoletja nestrokovno izkopali na območju Ulake nad Starim trgom pri Ložu. Predmeti so bili grobni ...pridatki in del jih izvira iz dekliškega skeletnega groba. Datacijo v starejšo železno dobo nakazujejo v prvi vrsti fibule – čolničasta, kačasta in certoške. Grobovi in posamične najdbe z območja naselbine nakazujejo, da je bilo v starejši železni dobi na Ulaki gradišče, ki je verjetno po zatonu Križne gore prevzelo vodilno vlogo v Loški dolini.
Within the framework of the basic research project The Župna cerkev Cemetery in Kranj, intended for the publication and research of materials from archaeological excavations of the eponymous burial ...ground, digital primary forms of archival sources are presented. So far, we have published field journals, field drawings and anthropological diaries in six volumes, and the new e-publication shows sketching blocks with field drawings of planums and more than 1,500 graves excavated between 1969 and 1973.
The present study deals with the question of the organization of the stonemasonry production of funerary monuments in the interior of the former Roman province of Dalmatia. The aim of the research ...was to identify a model of stonemasonry production that originated in a mountainous and difficult to traverse area, where the possibilities of water transport of stone material are minimal. The author started from the assumption that production centres formed in some geographical areas during Roman rule, using local limestone sources for their operation. The study includes funerary monuments discovered in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the western part of Serbia and Montenegro. By combining the methods of macroscopic petrographic analysis of the stone material and typological and spatial analysis, the existence of several production centres was proven. The results of the analyses indicate a very likely that they exploited the local limestone resources. Epigraphic data also made it possible to define their chronological aspect.
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.

The second volume on the Iron Age settlement at Most na Soči evaluates from various aspects the structures and small finds that has been presented in the first book.
