The GIS analysis presented in this volume1 resulted in four groups of sites according to the natural affordance. However, it also cautioned that the interpretations suggested can only be used as a starting point for a discussion on the individual sites. What follows is such a discussion on three selected sites in Slovenia: Na Bleku, Mali grad, and Gradišče above Bašelj. Gradišče above Bašelj is a site best known for numerous finds of military equipment and equestrian gear dated between the late 8 and early 10 centuries. Altogether, more than 1700 metal artefacts. However, this is a three-phase site: Late Antique, Early Medieval and High Medieval are known from this site. The distinction baffled early researchers but was clarified by modern excavation. The Late Antique phase is characterised by a stone-built fortified settlement. The end of this phase is radiocarbon-dated to between the end of the 4 and mid-6 centuries AD. This date is corroborated by LRA 1B and LRA 2 amphorae found on the pavement dated in the second half of the 5th and the 6th c. Here we are focusing on the Early Medieval phase. About the book: From Late Antiquity and in the Early Middle Ages, the Eastern Alpine region was a contact zone of various dominions. In the 7th and 8th century, the former part of the Roman Empire was known primarily as a border region between the Frankish Empire and the Avar Khaganate, where the Carantanians established themselves in the 8th century. Despite its importance, however, only a few and mostly late sources are preserved, which makes it difficult to describe this region in an accurate way. The contributions gathered in this volume edited by Maximilian Diesenberger, Stefan Eichert and Katharina Winckler apply comparative and interdisciplinary studies to present new perspectives on the history of the Eastern Alpine region.

The discovery of the Bizjakova hiša site in Kobarid (obč. Kobarid / SLO), with an uncommon burial of horses together with numerous metal artefacts (weapons, horse gear and jewellery) of forms mainly characteristic of Lt B2, raised a number of questions on the topic of the Latènisation and character of the Late Iron Age communities marked as the Idrija group. The contribution below adds to this topic by presenting a grave recently unearthed at the village of Srpenica, located near the river Soča and only some 11 km northwest of Kobarid. The burial is contemporary with that at Bizjakova hiša and importantly contributes to our knowledge of the beginnings of the La Tène period in the area that had in previous centuries been marked by the Early Iron Age Sveta Lucija group.
[Health resorts in Styria, Charinthia and Istria once (1897) and today (2007).]
Acta medico-historica adriatica : AMHA, 2008
The aim of this study is to determine which health resorts existed in 1897 in Istria, Carinthia and Styria region, how many of them are still in use today and how the spas and their offer were represented in the past and how they are represented today. The study is based on the textbook Balneotherapie II (Bibliothek des Arztes 1900) by prof. dr. Julius Glax. The second source of our study is based on the currently available presentation of the health resorts from the internet. The textbook Balneotherapie was intended for the post graduate education of physicians and general practitioners, so they could advise the patient on further treatment in an appropriate health resort. In the chapter Balneographie the author represented 1200 health resorts all over the world. From the book we have chosen the following regions: Istria, Carinthia and Styria which used to be three parts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today they are divided in to three neighboring states: Croatia (Istria), Sloveni...
