This area's continuous use from the Middle or Late Augustan period until the decline of Emona is reflected in the wide chronological range of these vessels. The study applies the chaîne opératoire approach by analysing the macroscopic and microscopic paste composition, the forming and shaping techniques, the typology, and the chronological framework. Eight technological groups were identified, distinguished primarily by the presence or absence of a glaze. The unglazed mortaria come from two production zones: Central-Southern Italy and Northern Italy. Two potters' stamps confirm the Po Valley as the area of origin, with the locations of their workshops being more narrowly defined through mineralogical-petrographic analysis. The glazed mortaria most likely originated elsewhere, but their exact provenance remains uncertain.

Najstarejša poselitev sodi v 11. in 10. st. pr. n. št., mlajša faza poselitve, to je čas, ko je bilo zgrajeno obzidje v suhozidni tehniki, pa v 8./7. stol. pr. n. št. Analiza keramičnega gradiva je pokazala na razlike v lončarski tradiciji, kar odražajo tako različni lončarski recepti, tipi posod kot tehnike izdelave in žganja. Mineraloško-petrografske analize nakazujejo lokalno usmerjeno pridobivanje virov. Kljub omejenemu območju raziskave ugotavljamo, da so bile na Taboru prisotne številne živalske vrste. Na podlagi ostankov iz mlajše faze smo prepoznali aktivnosti, vezane na prehrambne navade takratnih prebivalcev gradišča. / This article examines the prehistoric hillfort of Tabor near Vrabče. The earliest settlement phase dates to the 11th and 10th century BC, while the later phase, during which the drystone wall was built, dates to the 8th/7th century BC. The analysis of the ceramic materials revealed differences in pottery traditions, reflected in various pottery recipes, vessel types, and forming and firing techniques. Mineralogical-petrographic analyses indicated locally orientated mining resources. Despite the limited area of archaeological excavations, evidence suggest the presence of numerous animal species in Tabor. Based on remains from the later phase, activities related to the dietary habits of the hillfort‘s inhabitants have been identified.

The series of vertical and diagonal marks on the rough surface is non-accidental enough to be recognized as an inscription in the Venetic alphabet (henceforth labeled with the siglum *Ts 4). In a sinistroverse sequence, an interpunctuated <.a.>and are clearly legible at the very end, enabling a tentative reading [---].a.e (with aberrant, non-framing interpunctuation of final e). The sequence most likely represents a mark of owner-ship and may represent the oldest preserved Venetic inscription on pottery in Slovenia.Key words: Slovenia; Štanjel; Early Iron Age; ceramics; silo; Venetic inscription; paleography
Na rebru silosa, ki je bil najden v kletnem prostoru stavbe iz 5. in 4. st. pr. n. št. v Štanjelu, je delno ohranjen vrezan napis. V sekvenci vertikalnih in poševnih vrezov v grobo površino je mogoče prepoznati tudi take, ki niso naključni, zato ugotavljamo, da gre za napis (odslej označen s siglo *Ts 4) v venetskem alfabetu. Poteka od desne proti levi, pri čemer sta na koncu sekvence dobro vidna le interpunktuirani <.a.> in . Celotno zaporedje torej utegne predstavljati zapis [-].a.e (pri čemer ni zaključen z interpunktom, kot bi bilo sicer pričakovano). Napis je najverjetneje treba interpretirati kot oznako lastništva in bi lahko predstavljal trenutno najstarejši ohranjeni napis na keramiki v Sloveniji.

Given the absence of archaeological structures, we adopted an alternative research approach, employing FTIR and ceramic thin-section analysis. The archaeological material underwent study using a model derived from archaeological experiments, which encompassed firing techniques in both pits and pottery kilns. Our research successfully identified that various
firing structures were utilized during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages.

for contemplating the archaeological image of the wider Škocjan area and refining it. The Škocjan hillfort was most likely built at the turn of the Middle Bronze Age and prospered until the end of the Bronze Age; afterwards, the population briefly settled elsewhere in the Early Iron Age. In the Late Iron Age, a vast settlement was formed on the prominence around the Okroglica shaft and was inhabited at least until the
first few centuries AD. Post-antique settlement becomes notable from the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century at the latest. The landscape underwent a rapid transformation for agricultural purposes in the modern period, perhaps even as early as in the Late Middle Ages.

Lo sviluppo della ricerca sui materiali in concotto di questo tipo ha permesso di verificare che gran parte di essi va in effetti ricondotta a forni domestici modulari.

Šele kasneje je atomska teorija to zavrgla in postavila temelje današnjemu poznavanju snovi. Odkrivanje najglobljih skrivnosti arheoloških predmetov danes omogočajo številne naravoslovne analize, vendar je za končne ugotovitve potrebno trdno arheološko ogrodje, metodologija, ki sledi novostim in smernicam posameznega področja. Arheološka keramika je gradivo, ki je na večini arheoloških izkopavanj najštevilčnejše zastopano. Včasih jo odkrijemo v presenetljivih količinah, kar velikokrat pripomore k temu, da jo obravnavamo le še kataloško ter zapostavljamo njeno potencialno izpovednost. Danes vemo, da arheološka keramika ni le vir informacij, vezan na kronologijo in tipologijo, ampak tudi medij, ki vsebuje informacije o prehrani, tehnoloških znanjih itd. Včasih je dovolj, če jo opazujemo le pod lupo, posamezne analize pa nam omogočajo, da ugotavljamo tudi sledove, ki so s prostim očesom nevidni. V želji po nadgradnji smernic raziskovanja arheološke keramike v Sloveniji ter predstavitvi raznolikih metod in analiz v študijah keramike smo se odločili, da zberemo strokovnjake in poznavalce iz različnih institucij in področij ter tako skupaj zastavimo pot v študijah keramike v Sloveniji. Znanstveno srečanje na temo študija keramike v Sloveniji je prvo srečanje v okviru serije konferenc Ljubljanski arheološki seminar, ki ga nameravamo organizirati vsako leto na Oddelku za arheologijo Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani. Obenem z letošnjim srečanjem obeležujemo sto let študija arheologije v Ljubljani. Gaudeamus!

We built a pottery kiln and fireplaces for cooking and metallurgical activities in the houses. For the replicas we used only materials that were accessible at that time. The whole process from clay preparation to pottery firing was recorded, and we obtained a significant amount of data that will help us make comparisons with archaeological ceramics. This kind of approach is not only suitable for data collection for further scientific analysis of the objects, but also allows a better and more detailed presentation to visitors.

Slovenia (Karst region). The latter will be upgraded with the data gathered from the three different archaeological experiments. Petrographic, chemical, and mineralogical analyses (XRD analyses) were used
to recognize pottery kilns as firing structures used for pottery firing at least in Early Iron Age. By integration of different analysis it is possible to better understand and argue well-founded manner past activities
connected with the pottery practices in late prehistory in western Slovenia. The results can also help to upgrade the established methodology.

In the absence of archaeologically attested kilns, their use in this area is studied based on indirect factors, i.e. the analysis of the vessel firing technique, and with the help of experiments from the field of experimental archaeology. The article strives to determine the reasons for the poor state of preservation of the kilns in the area in question. Samples from archaeological experiments and archaeological pottery were subjected to AMS measurements, petrographic and mineralogical analyses (X-ray diffraction), which revealed the importance of considering the soaking time as a criterion for observing the firing processes and use of single-chamber kilns for the firing of pottery, even if they have not yet been discovered.

Poleg stratigrafskih podatkov predstavljamo ugotovitve makroskopske analize tehnologije keramike in primerjalne študije najdb z drugimi sočasnimi najdišči na prostoru Caput Adriae. Vzpostavljena kronološka slika naselbinske keramike je prvi tovrsten poskus pregleda keramike za obravnavani prostor.

Bibe Teržan pri proucevanju arheoloskih pojavov v lokalnem, regionalnem ali nadregionalnem okolju, pa naj bo na nivoju posameznikov v družbi ali na nivojih sirsih skupnosti. So pomembni, a težko oprijemljivi in razumljivi motorji, ki se nam v svojih materializiranih oblikah kažejo v arheoloskih najdbah, kontekstih, najdiscih in krajinah ter najbolj izrazito, a zagonetno zakodirano, na umetniskih stvaritvah, kakrsne so na primer situlski spomeniki …

Na podlagi tehnološke in tipološke analize keramike opredeljujemo najdišče v zgodnjo bronasto dobo. Ključno vlogo pri izbiri lokacije najdišča je domnevno odigrala bližina vode in prometna povezava pod Kraškim robom oz. Podgorskim Krasom, ki povezuje Tržaški zaliv in Istro po kopnem. V neposredni bližini Ključa poznamo le eno sočasno najdišče, Jama nad Brežcem, kar je po našem mnenju posledica stanja raziskav. Ključne besede: zgodnja bronasta doba, nižinska naselbina, dolina Rižane, Ključ, kaštelir In this article we present lowland type of settlement Ključ in Rižana valley. Due to technological and typological pottery analysis, we are able to date this site to Early Bronze Age. Nearby fresh water and communication route under Karts Edge, which connects Gulf of Trieste and Istria, were presumably the main reasons for selecting Ključ as a location. There is only one other known contemporaneous site nearby Ključ -cave Jama nad Brežcem. We believe this is only a consequence of the state of research.

In this study we focused on pottery technology of vessels from two Early Iron Age sites in north-eastern Slovenia, Poštela near Maribor and Novine above Šentilj (NE Slovenia). We analysed the clay pastes, inclusions in the clay, as well as surface treatment, firing properties, vessels shape, and decoration techniques using macroscopic description and ceramic petrography. Within the sites we looked at the different contexts, comparing pottery from settlements, i.e. hillforts, to pottery found within the adjacent cemeteries. The results show that potters from the two contemporaneous sites produced similarly shaped vessels using different pottery recipes from locally available raw materials. The use of grog as a possible chronological marker in the Early Iron Age is also dis...

Predstavljena je osnovna metodologija arheološkega poskusa. Na študijskem primeru žganja v kopi skušamo pokazati možnosti vključevanja tovrstnih raziskav, ki lahko ključno pripomorejo tako k razumevanju arheoloških ostankov kot k nadgradnji končne interpretacije/In this paper we present the importance of the integration
of archaeological experiments in ceramics studies, which has
already become well established abroad, but has not yet been really
adopted in Slovenia. The basic methodology of archaeological
experimentation is presented. Using the case study of a bonfire,
we try to show the possibilities of integrating this type of research,
which can make a key contribution both to the understanding
of archaeological remains and to the enhancement of the final
interpretation.

in na samem Taboru, lahko preštejemo na prste ene roke, velja, da smo
že postavili pomemben kamenček v mozaiku. Pred tem smo govorili zgolj o prazgodovinskem gradišču, danes že vemo, da je gradišče nastalo v starejši železni dobi. Poznamo pripomočke, ki so jih uporabljali pri kuhanju oziroma peki hrane in pripravi pijače, ter vemo, da sta se v tem času po Taboru sprehajala tako pes kot tudi gos. Vemo tudi, da so
ta prostor uporabljali že prej, in sicer v pozni bronasti dobi, a takrat obzidja še niso potrebovali. Ali so zidovi ograde zahodno od Tabora sočasni starejši ali mlajši fazi poselitve, še ne moremo z gotovostjo trditi, z nadaljnjimi raziskavami pa bomo skušali odgovoriti tudi na
takšna vprašanja.

These present a starting point for the establishment of a chronological picture of settlement pottery in Kras region. In addition to stratigraphic data, macroscopic analysis of the pottery technology and comparative
study of the finds with other contemporary sites in the area of Caput Adriae have been performed. The established chronological picture of the settlement pottery presents the first attempt of this kind to create a pottery overview for the discussed territory.

The earliest settlement phase dates to the 11th and 10th century BC, while the later phase, during which the drystone wall was built, dates to the 8th/7th century BC. The analysis of the ceramic materials revealed differences in pottery traditions, reflected in various pottery recipes, vessel types, and forming and firing techniques. Mineralogical-petrographic analyses indicated locally orientated mining resources. Despite the limited area of archaeological excavations, evidence suggest the presence of numerous animal species in Tabor. Based on remains from the later phase, activities related to the dietary habits of the hillfort‘s inhabitants have been identified.

Poleg stratigrafskih podatkov predstavljamo ugotovitve makroskopske analize tehnologije keramike in primerjalne študije najdb z drugimi sočasnimi najdišči na prostoru Caput Adriae. Vzpostavljena kronološka slika naselbinske keramike je prvi tovrsten poskus pregleda keramike za obravnavani prostor.
Srečanja in vplivi v raziskovanju bronaste in železne dobe na Slovenskem: Zbornik prispevkov v čast Bibi Teržan

Bibe Teržan pri proucevanju arheoloskih pojavov v lokalnem, regionalnem ali nadregionalnem okolju, pa naj bo na nivoju posameznikov v družbi ali na nivojih sirsih skupnosti. So pomembni, a težko oprijemljivi in razumljivi motorji, ki se nam v svojih materializiranih oblikah kažejo v arheoloskih najdbah, kontekstih, najdiscih in krajinah ter najbolj izrazito, a zagonetno zakodirano, na umetniskih stvaritvah, kakrsne so na primer situlski spomeniki …

Na podlagi tehnološke in tipološke analize keramike opredeljujemo najdišče v zgodnjo bronasto dobo. Ključno vlogo pri izbiri lokacije najdišča je domnevno odigrala bližina vode in prometna povezava pod Kraškim robom oz. Podgorskim Krasom, ki povezuje Tržaški zaliv in Istro po kopnem. V neposredni bližini Ključa poznamo le eno sočasno najdišče, Jama nad Brežcem, kar je po našem mnenju posledica stanja raziskav. Ključne besede: zgodnja bronasta doba, nižinska naselbina, dolina Rižane, Ključ, kaštelir In this article we present lowland type of settlement Ključ in Rižana valley. Due to technological and typological pottery analysis, we are able to date this site to Early Bronze Age. Nearby fresh water and communication route under Karts Edge, which connects Gulf of Trieste and Istria, were presumably the main reasons for selecting Ključ as a location. There is only one other known contemporaneous site nearby Ključ -cave Jama nad Brežcem. We believe this is only a consequence of the state of research.

In this study we focused on pottery technology of vessels from two Early Iron Age sites in north-eastern Slovenia, Poštela near Maribor and Novine above Šentilj (NE Slovenia). We analysed the clay pastes, inclusions in the clay, as well as surface treatment, firing properties, vessels shape, and decoration techniques using macroscopic description and ceramic petrography. Within the sites we looked at the different contexts, comparing pottery from settlements, i.e. hillforts, to pottery found within the adjacent cemeteries. The results show that potters from the two contemporaneous sites produced similarly shaped vessels using different pottery recipes from locally available raw materials. The use of grog as a possible chronological marker in the Early Iron Age is also dis...

Predstavljena je osnovna metodologija arheološkega poskusa. Na študijskem primeru žganja v kopi skušamo pokazati možnosti vključevanja tovrstnih raziskav, ki lahko ključno pripomorejo tako k razumevanju arheoloških ostankov kot k nadgradnji končne interpretacije/In this paper we present the importance of the integration
of archaeological experiments in ceramics studies, which has
already become well established abroad, but has not yet been really
adopted in Slovenia. The basic methodology of archaeological
experimentation is presented. Using the case study of a bonfire,
we try to show the possibilities of integrating this type of research,
which can make a key contribution both to the understanding
of archaeological remains and to the enhancement of the final
interpretation.

in na samem Taboru, lahko preštejemo na prste ene roke, velja, da smo
že postavili pomemben kamenček v mozaiku. Pred tem smo govorili zgolj o prazgodovinskem gradišču, danes že vemo, da je gradišče nastalo v starejši železni dobi. Poznamo pripomočke, ki so jih uporabljali pri kuhanju oziroma peki hrane in pripravi pijače, ter vemo, da sta se v tem času po Taboru sprehajala tako pes kot tudi gos. Vemo tudi, da so
ta prostor uporabljali že prej, in sicer v pozni bronasti dobi, a takrat obzidja še niso potrebovali. Ali so zidovi ograde zahodno od Tabora sočasni starejši ali mlajši fazi poselitve, še ne moremo z gotovostjo trditi, z nadaljnjimi raziskavami pa bomo skušali odgovoriti tudi na
takšna vprašanja.

These present a starting point for the establishment of a chronological picture of settlement pottery in Kras region. In addition to stratigraphic data, macroscopic analysis of the pottery technology and comparative
study of the finds with other contemporary sites in the area of Caput Adriae have been performed. The established chronological picture of the settlement pottery presents the first attempt of this kind to create a pottery overview for the discussed territory.

It includes archaeologically, archaeobotanically and archaeozoologically analyzed and collected data from numerous archaeological sites, stretching from the Late Neolithic period to the end of the Middle Ages. The selected case studies in this book are some of the most representative sites for individual epochs. Furthermore, the publication is closely connected to the database of the PalaeoDiversiStyria project (www.interarch-steiermark.eu), which is containing raw data on plant and animal remains from numerous archaeological sites in this region.
Special attention was given to the changes in the landscape caused by human intervention into the environment, e.g. by the cultivation of new plants and the domestication of animals, by the building of larger settlements or metal production. Part of the research included the discovery and identification of different plant species as well as domesticated and wild animals in archaeological contexts. To reach these results it was necessary that archaeologists, botanists, archaeobotanists as well as archaeozoologists worked hand in hand to create a better understanding of the interaction between nature and humans. With this interdisciplinary cooperation, we built new knowledge of the circumstances that influenced the dietary habits of people in the past.
The publication is one of the results of the interdisciplinary “PalaeoDiversiStyria” project, with the full name “Palaeolandscape of Styria and its Biodiversity from Prehistory to the Discovery of the New World”. It was a partnership between Universalmuseum Joanneum, the Institute for Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, two botanical gardens led by the Universities of Maribor and of Graz, and two Municipalities, Grosklein in Austria and Hoče-Slivnica in Slovenia. The project was co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the framework of the INTERREG Slovenia-Austria V-A 2014-2020 cooperation programme.
