The International Scientific Conference entitled “Secrets of iron - from raw material to an iron ... more The International Scientific Conference entitled “Secrets of iron - from raw material to an iron object” was organized by the Institute of Archaeology in cooperation with the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb as the seventh in a series of meetings of experts on topics related to medieval archaeology, but also other archaeological and historical periods. The gathering took place in Zagreb on the 10th and 11th of September 2020 in the Gallery of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb at 6 Pavao Hatz Street, with an all-day program. The Organizing and Scientific Committee consisted of scientists from the Institute dealing with the medieval period: Tajana Sekelj Ivančan, PhD. Tatjana Tkalčec, PhD. Juraj Belaj, PhD. Siniša Krznar PhD. and doctoral student Tena Karavidović. A total of 62 colleagues participated, of which 44 international and 18 Croatian, who presented 16 international and 11 local presentations and/or posters. Although we live in challenging and unstable times caused by the pandemic of Covid-19 virus, but also by the earthquake in Zagreb which, in the spring of 2020, significantly damaged the city centre, the intention to address issues related to iron production and the manufacture of iron objects in the pre-industrial era was successfully realised. The scientific conference was organized as a hybrid event, with presentations held at the Museum Gallery and via the web platform, all broadcasted live with the active involvement of participants in discussions through the web platform Crowdcast. Posters of the participants who were not able to attend the conference in person were printed out and available online on the Institute of Archaeology website during the conference. The official languages of the conference were Croatian and English. Several lectures and presentations from the conference were prepared for these Proceedings. The received papers cover multiple archaeological and historical periods, from the Early Iron Age up to the Modern Age, while geographically covering almost the entire European area and beyond. The Proceedings are interdisciplinary and include papers with various methodological approaches and sub-topics that permeate and complement each other. The sixteen papers collected in the publication present the results of non- invasive research methods on sites with remnants of ironworks activities, the geological study of the potential for ore formation within a lowland landscape, studies of ore sources and mining, the results of archaeological excavations of preserved furnaces, workshops and ancillary facilities, as well as insights on archaeological finds of slag and technical ceramics and iron objects, as well as discussion on long-term iron production and knowledge transfer and the results of conducted analyses from the spectrum of natural sciences which define the types of materials and technology of iron production and production of iron objects, as well as methods of approach to chemical profiling of archaeological samples. The afore- mentioned papers are signed by thirty-five (co)authors, scientists from Slovenia, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Latvia, the Russian Federation and Croatia, who, each in their own way, open a new perspective and contribute to our understanding of iron production and processing. With these Proceedings, we aim to encourage some new reflections, present the results of new archaeological and interdisciplinary research and insights that will be useful in further research on specific topics related to iron production and processing, and offer them to the general scientific and professional public.

It is a result of efforts of the medievalists of the Institute of Archaeology to establish continued international gathering of the academic community in Zagreb in order to discuss current archeological topics on mediaeval archeology. The 4th International Scientific Conference on Mediaeval Archaeology Fortifications, defence systems, structures and features in the past, organized by the Institute of Archaeology in cooperation with the Croatian Institute of History, took place from the 7th till the 9th of June 2017 in Zagreb. Our wish was to encourage the researchers to present, through this topic, their knowledge on technical solutions of certain defensive elements of different fortifications, different manifestations and changes in the organization of defensive structures and systems over time, with regard to the causes of those changes and identification of possible patterns of defence systems, structures and features in a certain area, region or in a certain archaeological or historical period. Since the aim of the scientific conference was to perceive the given topic in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary manner, we are pleased that in this book, besides the papers dealing with mediaeval fortifications, we have the opportunity to publish 37 papers that study the defence systems in the preceding and following periods (Prehistory, Antiquity, Modern Period) and that archaeological studies are complemented by the studies of historians, art historians and architects as well.

Changes of religious systems or their coexistence documented in the landscape raises further questions, particularly those pertaining to broader socio-cultural phenomena and dynamics. Even if such processes are not documented in written sources, they could often be recognized in toponyms, folklore, archaeological finds and in contemporary religious practices. This publication presents analyses of sacred landscape from the perspective of: archaeology, folklore, ethnology and cultural anthropology, literature, architecture, history, art history, mathematics etc., and at the same time covers the period from prehistory, through antiquity and Slavic period and the Middle Ages to the modern period and contemporary times. In addition to this, it also compares different processes from different regions and times, by and large from Europe.

Marka Dizdara, dr. sc. Siniše Krznara i dr. sc. Željke Bedić, koji su svojim dugogodišnjim iskustvom i radom na spomenutim lokalitetima, odnosno na području srednjovjekovne arheologije dali velik doprinos prilikom organizacije ove izložbe i kataloga. Naglasak koncepcije izložbe je na prikazivanju materijalnih i duhovnih tragova bjelobrdskog kulturnog kruga na području međuriječja Drave, Save i Dunava te njegovo integriranje u srednjoeuropski kulturni krug. Razdoblje srednjeg, pa tako i novog vijeka, zbog slabe istraženosti često pada u zaborav, stoga je ova izložba nastala kao podsjetnik na materijalno i kulturno bogatstvo srednjovjekovlja te kao poticaj na veća, posebice arheološka istraživanja potonjeg razdoblja. Ovim putem želim uputiti zahvale svojim stručnim suradnicima na izložbi i katalogu, a posebno akademiku Željku Tomičiću.
The exhibition Artistic Heritage of the Bijelo Brdo Culture: Zvonimirovo - Veliko polje and Suhopolje - Kliškovac sites was created in collaboration with the author of the exhibition and professional associates - academician Željko Tomičić, Ph.D. Marko Dizdar, Ph.D. Siniša Krznar, Ph.D. Željka Bedić, who with their many years of experience and work on the mentioned sites, ie in the field of medieval archeology, made a great contribution during the organization of this exhibition and catalog. The emphasis of the concept of the exhibition is on showing the material and spiritual traces of the Bijelo Brdo cultural circle in the area between the Drava, Sava and Danube interfluve and its integration into the Central European cultural circle. The Medieval period, including the New Age, is neglected due to poor research, so this exhibition was also created as a reminder of the material and cultural heritage of the Middle Ages and as an incentive for larger, especially archaeological research. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my professional associates at the exhibition and catalog, and especially academician Željko Tomičić.

This was denarius banalis coins minted during the reigns of kings Béla IV, Stephen V and Ladislaus IV, and six examples of Hungarian denars minted during the reign of King Stephen V. The coins were discovered in the pelvic-girdle region of a deceased male between 30 and 35 years old and were probably placed in a bag made of organic material. On the basis of this find and stratigraphic relations with other graves, this individual’s burial can be dated to the last quarter of the 13th century.

Mrlja ukopa tijekom iskopavanja nije bila vidljiva, a nakon čišćenja kostura ustanovljeno je da okolo kostiju pokojnika nema nikakvih priloga, osim jednog ulomka keramike koji je pronađen uz lijevu nogu (SEKELJ IVANČAN 2006b, 78) . S obzirom da uz kostur nije bilo popratnoga arheološkog materijala koji bi pobliže datirao sam ukop, starost je određena 14C metodom. Analiza starosti 14C metodom ustanovila je da kostur potječe iz 8. stoljeća. Zanimljiv je podatak da je to jedini pronađeni ljudski kostur na tom nalazištu te da ovdje nije ustanovljeno postojanje groblja iz tog razdoblja. Kako bi se dobilo što više informacija o toj osobi, njezini skeletni ostaci podvrgnuti su opsežnoj antropološkoj analizi.

Lovre. Oba groba nalazila su se uza sjeverni zid crkve, unutar arheološkim istraživanjima otkrivene sakristije. Grob 43 se fizički i stratigrafski nalazio iznad groba 112. U zapuni groba 43 pronađeno je nekoliko dijelova traka tkanine sa zlatnim nitima (N 118). U zapuni groba 112 također je pronađena traka tkanine sa zlatnim nitima (PN 33), te dislocirana lubanja mlade žene, omotana ostacima tkanine vezene zlatnim nitima (PN 27). Analizom tkanine ustanovljeno je da se radi o dijelovima dvaju odjevnih predmeta, najvjerojatnije ženske kape (PN 27) te trake (PN 33 i N 118) koja je obrubljivala neki odjevni predmet. Tekstil iz oba groba pripadao je skupocjenim odjevnim predmetima, čija je upotreba bila ograničena na izdvojene i bogatije slojeve stanovništva.

Materijal je otkriven pri pokusnim iskopavanjima koje je 2002. vodio Institut za arheologiju iz Zagreba. Materijal se, s izuzetkom ukopa dva djeteta u posudama, datira u razdoblje od 14. do prve polovine 18. stoljeća. Paleodemografske i paleopatološke analize provedene u laboratoriju Odsjeka za arheologiju Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti pokazuju da se uzorak sastoji od 21 osobe (6 žena, 6 muškaraca i 9 djece). Prosječna doživljena starost muškaraca iznosila je 45,8 godina, a žena 31,3 godine. Uzorak karakterizira visoki subadultni mortalitet, naročito djece ispod pet godina starosti (djeca čine 42,8% ukupnog uščuvanog uzorka). Uočene su dvije traume na donjim ekstremitetima, obje kod muškaraca, od kojih je jedna vrlo teška fraktura desnog femura s jakim upalnim procesom i skraćenjem femura od oko 50 mm. Primjetne su velike razlike u učestalostima alveolarnih oboljenja i karioznih promjena...

Based on the archaeological finds and the stratigraphic relationship with the other graves, grave 14 can approximately be dated to the 16th century. The grave contained the burial of an adult male whose skeleton exhibited morphological changes consistent with skeletal tuberculosis – angular kyphotic deformity on the spine and the augmentation of the body of the ribs and localized abscesses on ribs. A differential diagnosis ruled out fractures, osteomyelitis, brucellosis, malignant bone tumors and Scheuermann’s disease as possible causes of the mentioned changes in the analysed skeleton. The presence of skeletal tuberculosis in Ivankovo during the 16th century fits into the geographical and chronological frame of the emergence and spread of that disease in the Carpathian Basin, with famine, outbreaks of contagio...

Based on the stratigraphic relationships between the graves and archaeological finds of material culture, this Roman Catholic parish cemetery can be dated to the period from the end of the 13th to the 18th century, i.e. to the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The archaeological finds are scarce and usually include parts of costumes and jewelry (rings, belts, belt buckles, hook-and-eye fasteners, pins, knives), which is common for this period. Aside from the archaeological finds, historical sources also attest to the existence of the parish and the cemetery during the Ottoman rule. The deceased were laid in grave pits, which were usually oriented in the west-east direction. Most graves were damaged by later burials and the skeletons themselves are also relatively poorly (partially) preserved. A detailed bioarchaeological analysis of skeletal remains from Ivankovo could be conducted on 53 people (10 children, 13 women, and 30 men). Dentoalveolar disease analysis showed a high frequency of caries and ante mortem tooth loss, which suggest poor oral health, but also a diet based on carbohydrates, i.e. grains. High rate of physiological stress indicators (cribra orbitalia and linear enamel hypoplasia), periostitis, and the presence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis indicate that most residents were in poor health condition. The distribution and morphology of skeletal injuries from Ivankovo assemblage suggest that they were caused by accidents that probably occurred during everyday activities within the community, such as working in the field, with cattle, or in the house.

cemeteries, in and around the church. The typical burial rite was an inhumation in a supine position with extended legs and with the west-eastern orientation of the body. The graves are usually without grave goods, but sometimes they contain parts of clothing, jewellery and objects of personal devotion such as rosaries, small medals and crosses. However, in some cases there are exceptions and one finds socalled deviant or unusual burials. On the Torčec-Cirkvišče, Crkvari and Nova Rača sites, four skeletons in prone position were found during archaeological investigations. Such burials have been, until recently, interpreted as resulting from the fear of the dead. Among other things, a prone position of the deceased was a way of preventing the dead from returning from their graves after death and hurting the living. Several different explanations have been offered in the last decade, but from historical and ethnological literature, it is evident that the folk belief in revenants (vampires) was growing during the Early Modern period. In this paper I will try to interpret prone burials found on northern Croatian archaeological sites and establish whether they can be linked to the growth of folk beliefs in the undead.

The paper presents results of field inspections of several positions, a part of which were selected based on toponomastics cartographic information and aerial footage. During the above mentioned inspections numerous new archeological localities from the periods of prehistory, Antique and the Middle Ages were identified. On several established localities traces of iron ore processing were observed. With reference to preliminary archeological research the paper also discusses applicability of methods used during field inspection in relation to the type of the researched localities.

Prvi arheološki nalazi s lokaliteta zabilježeni su 1969. godine, a pronađeni su prigodom iskopa pijeska kod gradnje obiteljskih kuća. Za potrebe gradnje zaobilaznice oko Iloka 2011. godine na ovom položaju se ponovo vadi pijesak te se izravnava dio padine i stvara okomiti profil visine oko 7 m. Time se uništava i dio lokaliteta. Kako su iz gornjeg dijela profila virile ljudske kosti a ispod njih su se ocrtavali i prapovijesni objekti, Muzej grada Iloka je u suradnji s Institutom za arheologiju proveo zaštitna istraživanja lokaliteta. U tri sezone istraživanja (2015.–2017.) istražen je najugroženiji dio uz rub profila. Otvorene su četiri sonde, a ukupna istražena površina iznosi 85 m2. Pored 188 grobova koji se uglavnom mogu datirati u srednji vijek istražen je i dio sopotskog objekta.

This publication presents analyses of sacred landscape from the perspective of: archaeology, folklore, ethnology and cultural anthropology, literature, architecture, history, art history, mathematics etc., and at the same time covers the period from prehistory, through antiquity and Slavic period and the Middle Ages to the modern period and contemporary times. In addition to this, it also compares different processes from different regions and times, by and large from Europe.

Marka Dizdara, dr. sc. Siniše Krznara i dr. sc. Željke Bedić, koji su svojim dugogodišnjim iskustvom i radom na spomenutim lokalitetima, odnosno na području srednjovjekovne arheologije dali velik doprinos prilikom organizacije ove izložbe i kataloga. Naglasak koncepcije izložbe je na prikazivanju materijalnih i duhovnih tragova bjelobrdskog kulturnog kruga na području međuriječja Drave, Save i Dunava te njegovo integriranje u srednjoeuropski kulturni krug. Razdoblje srednjeg, pa tako i novog vijeka, zbog slabe istraženosti često pada u zaborav, stoga je ova izložba nastala kao podsjetnik na materijalno i kulturno bogatstvo srednjovjekovlja te kao poticaj na veća, posebice arheološka istraživanja potonjeg razdoblja. Ovim putem želim uputiti zahvale svojim stručnim suradnicima na izložbi i katalogu, a posebno akademiku Željku Tomičiću.
The exhibition Artistic Heritage of the Bijelo Brdo Culture: Zvonimirovo - Veliko polje and Suhopolje - Kliškovac sites was created in collaboration with the author of the exhibition and professional associates - academician Željko Tomičić, Ph.D. Marko Dizdar, Ph.D. Siniša Krznar, Ph.D. Željka Bedić, who with their many years of experience and work on the mentioned sites, ie in the field of medieval archeology, made a great contribution during the organization of this exhibition and catalog. The emphasis of the concept of the exhibition is on showing the material and spiritual traces of the Bijelo Brdo cultural circle in the area between the Drava, Sava and Danube interfluve and its integration into the Central European cultural circle. The Medieval period, including the New Age, is neglected due to poor research, so this exhibition was also created as a reminder of the material and cultural heritage of the Middle Ages and as an incentive for larger, especially archaeological research. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my professional associates at the exhibition and catalog, and especially academician Željko Tomičić.

This was denarius banalis coins minted during the reigns of kings Béla IV, Stephen V and Ladislaus IV, and six examples of Hungarian denars minted during the reign of King Stephen V. The coins were discovered in the pelvic-girdle region of a deceased male between 30 and 35 years old and were probably placed in a bag made of organic material. On the basis of this find and stratigraphic relations with other graves, this individual’s burial can be dated to the last quarter of the 13th century.

Mrlja ukopa tijekom iskopavanja nije bila vidljiva, a nakon čišćenja kostura ustanovljeno je da okolo kostiju pokojnika nema nikakvih priloga, osim jednog ulomka keramike koji je pronađen uz lijevu nogu (SEKELJ IVANČAN 2006b, 78) . S obzirom da uz kostur nije bilo popratnoga arheološkog materijala koji bi pobliže datirao sam ukop, starost je određena 14C metodom. Analiza starosti 14C metodom ustanovila je da kostur potječe iz 8. stoljeća. Zanimljiv je podatak da je to jedini pronađeni ljudski kostur na tom nalazištu te da ovdje nije ustanovljeno postojanje groblja iz tog razdoblja. Kako bi se dobilo što više informacija o toj osobi, njezini skeletni ostaci podvrgnuti su opsežnoj antropološkoj analizi.

Materijal je otkriven pri pokusnim iskopavanjima koje je 2002. vodio Institut za arheologiju iz Zagreba. Materijal se, s izuzetkom ukopa dva djeteta u posudama, datira u razdoblje od 14. do prve polovine 18. stoljeća. Paleodemografske i paleopatološke analize provedene u laboratoriju Odsjeka za arheologiju Hrvatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti pokazuju da se uzorak sastoji od 21 osobe (6 žena, 6 muškaraca i 9 djece). Prosječna doživljena starost muškaraca iznosila je 45,8 godina, a žena 31,3 godine. Uzorak karakterizira visoki subadultni mortalitet, naročito djece ispod pet godina starosti (djeca čine 42,8% ukupnog uščuvanog uzorka). Uočene su dvije traume na donjim ekstremitetima, obje kod muškaraca, od kojih je jedna vrlo teška fraktura desnog femura s jakim upalnim procesom i skraćenjem femura od oko 50 mm.

Based on the archaeological finds and the stratigraphic relationship with the other graves, grave 14 can approximately be dated to the 16th century. The grave contained the burial of an adult male whose skeleton exhibited morphological changes consistent with skeletal tuberculosis – angular kyphotic deformity on the spine and the augmentation of the body of the ribs and localized abscesses on ribs. A differential diagnosis ruled out fractures, osteomyelitis, brucellosis, malignant bone tumors and Scheuermann’s disease as possible causes of the mentioned changes in the analysed skeleton. The presence of skeletal tuberculosis in Ivankovo during the 16th century fits into the geographical and chronological frame of the emergence and spread of that disease in the Carpathian Basin, with famine, outbreaks of contagio...

Based on the stratigraphic relationships between the graves and archaeological finds of material culture, this Roman Catholic parish cemetery can be dated to the period from the end of the 13th to the 18th century, i.e. to the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The archaeological finds are scarce and usually include parts of costumes and jewelry (rings, belts, belt buckles, hook-and-eye fasteners, pins, knives), which is common for this period. Aside from the archaeological finds, historical sources also attest to the existence of the parish and the cemetery during the Ottoman rule. The deceased were laid in grave pits, which were usually oriented in the west-east direction. Most graves were damaged by later burials and the skeletons themselves are also relatively poorly (partially) preserved. A detailed bioarchaeological analysis of skeletal remains from Ivankovo could be conducted on 53 people (10 children, 13 women, and 30 men). Dentoalveolar disease analysis showed a high frequency of caries and ante mortem tooth loss, which suggest poor oral health, but also a diet based on carbohydrates, i.e. grains. High rate of physiological stress indicators (cribra orbitalia and linear enamel hypoplasia), periostitis, and the presence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis indicate that most residents were in poor health condition. The distribution and morphology of skeletal injuries from Ivankovo assemblage suggest that they were caused by accidents that probably occurred during everyday activities within the community, such as working in the field, with cattle, or in the house.

cemeteries, in and around the church. The typical burial rite was an inhumation in a supine position with extended legs and with the west-eastern orientation of the body. The graves are usually without grave goods, but sometimes they contain parts of clothing, jewellery and objects of personal devotion such as rosaries, small medals and crosses. However, in some cases there are exceptions and one finds socalled deviant or unusual burials. On the Torčec-Cirkvišče, Crkvari and Nova Rača sites, four skeletons in prone position were found during archaeological investigations. Such burials have been, until recently, interpreted as resulting from the fear of the dead. Among other things, a prone position of the deceased was a way of preventing the dead from returning from their graves after death and hurting the living. Several different explanations have been offered in the last decade, but from historical and ethnological literature, it is evident that the folk belief in revenants (vampires) was growing during the Early Modern period. In this paper I will try to interpret prone burials found on northern Croatian archaeological sites and establish whether they can be linked to the growth of folk beliefs in the undead.

The paper presents results of field inspections of several positions, a part of which were selected based on toponomastics cartographic information and aerial footage. During the above mentioned inspections numerous new archeological localities from the periods of prehistory, Antique and the Middle Ages were identified. On several established localities traces of iron ore processing were observed. With reference to preliminary archeological research the paper also discusses applicability of methods used during field inspection in relation to the type of the researched localities.

Prvi arheološki nalazi s lokaliteta zabilježeni su 1969. godine, a pronađeni su prigodom iskopa pijeska kod gradnje obiteljskih kuća. Za potrebe gradnje zaobilaznice oko Iloka 2011. godine na ovom položaju se ponovo vadi pijesak te se izravnava dio padine i stvara okomiti profil visine oko 7 m. Time se uništava i dio lokaliteta. Kako su iz gornjeg dijela profila virile ljudske kosti a ispod njih su se ocrtavali i prapovijesni objekti, Muzej grada Iloka je u suradnji s Institutom za arheologiju proveo zaštitna istraživanja lokaliteta. U tri sezone istraživanja (2015.–2017.) istražen je najugroženiji dio uz rub profila. Otvorene su četiri sonde, a ukupna istražena površina iznosi 85 m2. Pored 188 grobova koji se uglavnom mogu datirati u srednji vijek istražen je i dio sopotskog objekta.

the positions Grubišno Polje - Šuma Obrovi 2 and 3. The research was
focused on the position GPŠO-2 where the traces of sacral building and
the cemetery were discovered. At the nearby position GPŠO 3 only smaller trial trench was opened within which the archaeological finds of settlement character from the 14th century were found.
On the GPŠO 2, position of the primary interest of this year research, four trenches were excavated with total area of about 100 m2 (trenches 3–6). In the trenches 3 and 5 we have tried to define a disposition of a sacral building for which we have assumed to find, more precisely – its apse section, due to the semi-circular depressions in the field configuration. The excavation has resulted with partially defined layout
of the sanctuary and the northern sacristy (?) but the western part of the
building layout was not defined. In the trenches 3 and 4, 67 graves were
also found. There were very few finds in the graves (mostly metal parts of clothing) and the bones of deceased were extremely badly preserved. On the basis of the mutual relations of the graves three horizons of burial can be established, all dating to the period from 12th till 16th century. Above the graves (or some of the graves) in the trench 3 a phase of strata of a secular character was also observed. In that layer numerous post-holes and pits with scarce finds (pottery sherds, dislocated human bones) or none finds in their backfills have been discovered. Before detailed analysis of all findings and stratigraphic relations question of a settlement layer remains open. Namely, there are possibilities that this layer presents an intermediate stage or that it originates from the time after the cemetery has been abandoned.

Burying the deceased within the settlement area but outside of consecrated ground of the cemetery... more Burying the deceased within the settlement area but outside of consecrated ground of the cemetery that belonged to the community was considered as unusual throughout the Middle Ages. A relatively small number of burials within settlements were found in Northern Croatia. There are burials of three men, two very small children (a foetus and a new-born), and one individual of unknown sex and age. The burials of two men can be dated to the 8th century, one to the 14th century, a foetus to the second half of the 14th century and the new-born in a pot to the period from the 15th – 17th century. This paper presents possible interpretations of these unusual burials that occur within the settlement but outside of regular cemeteries. Although there a number of interpretations offered by Western and Central European archaeologists for such burials during the early Middle Ages, they emphasise the need for a special consideration of similar cases in subsequent periods when Christianity was fully established. Some historical sources testify to cases of hidden burials of small children within the settlement or settlement structures – in such cases it usually occurred because of infanticide, but for other age categories these historical sources mostly remain silent. Archaeology may provide a large contribution by defining whether the burial took place within the village on a private household plot or on the communal village property. Only within the well-known archaeological context can we discuss with more certainty specific relationships between the particular identity of the deceased and community identity.

razlikovali neuobičajenim položajem tijela. Riječ je o grobovima s osam lokaliteta koji se datiraju od ranog srednjeg do novog vijeka. U
analizu su uključene samo odrasle osobe, a u obzir je uzet njihov položaj tijela, prisutnost ili odsutnost nalaza, spol, starost te patološka
stanja evidentirana na kosturu. Navedeni su kriteriji razmotreni kako bi se utvrdili razlozi neuobičajenog položaja tijela pokojnika. Iako
su određena patološka stanja možda mogla pojačati potrebu za drugačijim ukopom, glavne razloge za takav ritus treba ipak potražiti
drugdje, najvjerojatnije unutar sustava narodnih vjerovanja, načinu života i/ili smrti pojedinca, odnosno percepcije te pokopane osobe
unutar zajednice.

Sacralisation of Landscape and Sacred Places
which will be held on the 2nd and 3rd June 2016, at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, 19 Zrinski square, Zagreb, Croatia.
Human settlement of landscape raises also the question of marking the landscape with one’s own religion. A similar happens when religious systems are changed. In addition, we often witness preserved continuity of sacred places. Such procedures are often undocumented, but their traces can still be found in toponyms, folklore, archaeological finds and in contemporary religious practices. The Conference will gather about 80 participants from Croatia and abroad They will approach the conference theme from different research perspectives and disciplines.
Introductory plenary lecture "Sacral spatial arrangement of landscape" will be given by prof. dddr. Andrej Pleterski, Research Advisor, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Conference consists of the following sessions:
- Human and sacred landscape: paradigms
- Traces of sacred sites: prehistory
- Myth in landscape
- Sacred place - the arena of religious discourses
- Social realities in the sacralisation of space
- Narratives and practices in the sacralisation of space
- Reading of holy places and sites in Islamic tradition
- Traces of sacred sites: antiquity
- (De)Sacralisations: spatial biographies
- Christian spatial symbolisation
The Conference programme and the book of abstracts are attached in the pdf file.

zadovoljstvo nam je pozvati Vas na 7. međunarodni znanstveni skup srednjovjekovne arheologije Instituta za arheologiju „Tajne željeza - od sirovine do željeznog predmeta / Secrets of iron - from raw material to an iron object“
Skup će se održati od 3. do 6. lipnja 2020. u Zagrebu.
Tema skupa obuhvaća sva arheološka razdoblja i nadilazi okvir arheološke discipline te stoga priželjkujemo multidisciplinarni susret različitih ideja, pristupa, metoda, rezultata i interpretacija.
- službeni jezici skupa su hrvatski i engleski,
- ako planirate izlagati na hrvatskom jeziku, molimo da naslov i sažetak izlaganja pošaljete na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku,
- predviđeno trajanje izlaganja je 20 minuta.
Za više detalja pogledajte priložene dokumente.
