В рецензии рассматривается коллективная монография, посвященная публикации погребений ямной культуры, изученных в составе трех курганных могильников, расположенных поблизости друг от друга в долине р. Урал у с. Кизильское Челябинской области, а также целого ряда сопутствующих материалов, полученных в ходе проведенных исследований: впускных погребений синташтинской и петровской культур эпохи бронзы и кочевников раннего железного века, погребального комплекса алакульской культуры и фрагментов культурного слоя неолитической стоянки и алакульского поселения, попавших в насыпь одного из раскопанных курганов. Оценивается структура рецензируемой книги и основные методы опубликованного исследования. Анализируется значение ямной культуры в современном изучении процессов культурогенеза в Евразийской степи эпохи бронзы. Отмечается, что население ямной культуры рассматривается большинством современных исследователей как носители пра-индоевропейского языка, сыгравшие большую роль в истории индоевропейской языковой семьи. Констатируется большая роль населения ямной культуры в миграциях бронзового века, которую подтверждают современные палеогенетические исследования. Делается вывод о существенном научном значении публикации одного из крайне немногочисленных комплексов ямной культуры, обнаруженных к настоящему времени на территории Челябинской области. В то же время в рецензии делается ряд критических замечаний относительно названия рецензируемой работы, ее терминологии, выводов о взаимосвязи ямной и синташтинской культур, а также некоторых пробелов в использовании естественно-научных методов исследований.

A house provides shelter but at the same time it is also an important social instrument. Several aspects of cultural tradition and behaviour can affect the construction of a house. In this paper we aim to explore house construction at the Százhalombatta-Földvár tell as constituted by a range of explicit and distinct decisions. To do this we use the biography of the housebuilding as our analytical framework. We aim to investigate the building in itself as a specific stage, seeing it as a distinct compilation of decisions and material interactions. Rather than investigating a particular house, we will sift through data from different houses from Phase II of the tell to investigate how particular steps in the construction process were conducted during this time. We also explore how the archaeological soilmicromorphological analyses provide detailed insight into material choices and thus can be used to augment the archaeological interpretations. We aim to factually establish how the houses were built and to identify the data that can help illuminate this aspect of settlement life.

Electric resistivity tomography (ERT) prospection conducted at the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic site at Kharaysin, Jordan, building on previous surface prospection and excavation, found a number of new sub‐surface anomalies. Subsequent excavations determined that the anomalies corresponded with the stone walls of habitation structures and possibly terrace walls. These features covered large areas of the site slope, inclusive of clustered settlement structures and frequent building superpositions indicative of multi‐phase occupation. Despite the generally arid conditions, the moist soil matrix allowed for the effective use of ERT. This article presents the integrated data of the archaeological excavation and the geophysical survey. As a test case it proves the utility of ERT in the identification of Pre‐Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) and Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) sub‐surface anthropogenic features.

Представлены результаты морских геофизических исследований древней портовой территории Херсонеса, расположенной в районе Карантинной бухты, которая в результате подтопления находится на глубине около 2–4 м под уровнем моря. Комплекс методов наряду с археологическими и гидроакустическими видами работ включает донную электротомографию, которая до настоящего времени не применялась в практике подводной археологии для картирования остатков построек, скрытых в донных отложениях. На основании результатов съемок, выполненных с помощью локатора бокового обзора и профилографа, выявлены и прослежены древние береговые линии бухты, сформировавшиеся в результате морских трансгрессионно-регрессионных циклов и застройки береговой линии в различные исторические эпохи. Метод донной электротомографии обеспечил получение геоэлектрических карт и разрезов, отражающих строение морских отложений, на которых проявились геоэлектрические аномалии, предположительно связанные с остатками застройки затопленной территории порта Херсонеса.
The article presents the results of marine geophysical research of the ancient port area of Chersonesos located in the area of Karantinnaya Bay, which is now about 2–4 m below sea level. Set of methods along with
archeological and hydroacoustic types of work includes bottom electrotomography, which has not been used until now in the practice of underwater archeology to map remains of structures buried by bottom sediments. Based on the results of side-scan sonar and profilograph surveys, the ancient shorelines of the bay, formed by marine transgression-regression cycles and shoreline development in different historical epochs, were identified and traced. Bottom electrical tomography provided geoelectric maps and sections reflecting the structure of marine sediments down to the 10-m depth, with geoelectric anomalies presumably associated with the remains of the submerged territory of the port of Chersonesos.

При изучении археологических памятников в прибрежной зоне наилучшие результаты дает комплексный междисциплинарный подход с привлечением методов современной геофизики. Анализ археологического материала, полученного при раскопках «ромбовидной башни» в акватории у Портового района Херсонеса, позволяет отнести начальный период строительства этого сооружения к IX–X вв. Результаты исследований на этом участке показали, что за период с IX–X вв. до конца XI – первой половины XIII вв. уровень моря в Карантинной бухте поднялся на величину около 1 метра. На основе данных, полученных методом непрерывного сейсмоакустического профилирования, для участка акватории у Портового района Херсонеса выделены последовательные изменения береговой линии, ставшие результатом процессов трансгрессии и аккумуляции донных наносов. Анализ построенных сейсмогеологических разрезов и карты изобат позволил выявить 3 террасы и связанные с ними морфологические элементы, указывающие местоположение древних береговых линий в различные исторические эпохи. Установлена пространственная связь между археологическими объектами, обнаруженными на дне, и положением подводных террас. На основании археологических данных предложена реконструкция береговой линии IX–X вв. Расположение «ромбовидной башни» и выявленных в 2019 г. строительных остатков на одной террасе позволяет предполагать относительную синхронность существования этих сооружений. Электроразведочные исследования методом донной электротомографии проведены с целью изучения строения отложений морских террас на глубину до 10 м. По результатам этих исследований выделяются донные аномалии, соответствующие различным этапам застройки побережья Карантинной бухты. Протяженная линейная аномалия, находящаяся в 40–50 м от современного берега и скрытая слоем донного грунта мощностью до 3 м, вероятнее всего, соответствует раннему периоду жизни города. Глубина моря на этом участке составляет около 2–3 м.

This paper presents the results of archaeological fieldwork conducted at the request of elders from Barunga, a remote Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory, Australia. The aim of the project was to use archaeological methods to help people from the community relocate and identify each person buried in the Barunga Graveyard and to develop a system where this information would not be forgotten. In the past, the location of burials and the identities of the buried have been known only through memory, as well as repeat visits to the graveyard. Overcrowding within the graveyard has made this practice difficult. To add to this problem, the vast majority of graves of Aboriginal people in remote Northern Territory communities are not recorded in any register. While there is a legislative requirement for a burial register to be kept in non-Aboriginal communities, this has not been a requirement for those within Aboriginal communities. Instead, families must rely on the memories of those in attendance at the burial, and in time the remembering generation also dies and the identities of people in these graves become more and more blurred. This makes it difficult to mourn properly, or to care for that person by caring for their grave. During our fieldwork, we located 175 graves, and we identified 85 individuals. Of those that could be identified, 29 were identified by an associated plaque or headstone, and 56 were identified through oral histories that were recorded during several field visits with elders from the community. Beyond the archaeological results of this research, we found there is an opportunity to build sustainable development in this community that would see local people employed to locate and identify currently unidentified burials. Drawing on comparative cases from other countries such as India, this study addresses the challenge identified by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) (2015) introducing cultural heritage into the sustainable development agenda. Retrieved February 19, 2020, from u-congress/introducing-cultural-heritage-into-the-sustainable-development-a genda/), to identify the concrete actions needed to integrate cultural heritage conservation and promotion into the sustainable development debate.

In spite of an increase in World War I (WWI)-related excavations in Flanders (Belgium), little is known about the nature and extent of the buried heritage of WWI from research on a landscape scale. This paper examines the combination of historical aerial photographic evidence and geophysical soil sensing. A case study in Comines-Warneton compares data derived from contemporary WWI aerial photographs with multi-receiver electromagnetic induction surveys. This comparison provides an understanding of the degree of preservation of trenches, dugouts and other military structures, and illustrates the added value of integrating both techniques in an in-depth, non-invasive study of conflict landscapes.

The archaeological heritage of the city of Aleppo and its surroundings has been largely destroyed during the Syrian conflict. This dramatic situation required the formation of a project that would help to record the extent of the destruction and document the ongoing situation. The main goal of the project is to create a digital database for the Aleppo region and document the damage caused to archaeological sites during the war in Syria. The project, which was funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation, is divided into several stages: basic information about the archaeological sites in the city of Aleppo and its hinterland was gathered and registered in an Excel spreadsheet. Later this information was used to develop a more sophisticated spatial database using Google Earth, Locus Map, and QGIS. In addition, the project included damage assessment and dossiers for selected sites, as well as capacity building and training for archaeologists working at the Aleppo Museum. This contribution presents the final results of our project with 809 recorded archaeological sites distributed over the city of Aleppo and its surroundings.

Den Anlass für die durchgeführte Maßnahme bildete die Neuanlage eines Parkplatzes auf dem ehemaligen Vorgartengelände westlich des Gebäudes Römerstrasse 16b, Flur-Nr. 202, in Jülich, Kr. Düren. Im Zuge des Bodenabtrags fand eine archäologische Baubegleitung mit Planum-und Profilaufnahme statt. Das betroffene Grundstück liegt auf der Südseite der Römerstraße, direkt westlich der Bundesbahntrasse Düren-Jülich-Linnich, ca. 900 m östlich der Jülicher Altstadt. Das untersuchte Gelände erstreckt sich direkt westlich der Hofeinfahrt auf einer Breite von 6,50 m und von der an der Straße gelegenen Grundstücksmauer 26 m in südlicher Richtung. Abb. 1: Lageplan der Maßnahme (eingetragen in DGK-Ausschnitt 5004/25) Das im Vorfeld erstmals komplett sanierte und dabei teilweise erweiterte heutige Wohngebäude ist um 1910 errichtet worden und diente als Gebäude der Bahnmeisterei. Es wurde 1944 durch Luftangriffe beschädigt, in der Nachkriegszeit in Stand gesetzt und in der Nachfolgezeit nur notdürftig unterhalten. Bis 2010 wurde es dann unterschiedlich als Wohn-und Geschäftsgebäude genutzt. Erst seit 2011 steht das Gebäude, auf Betreiben des heutigen Besitzers, unter Denkmalschutz Die heutige Römerstraße folgt im gesamten Bereich dem antiken Verlauf der römischen Straße von Köln über den Rurübergang in Jülich nach Heerlen.

Den Anlass für die durchgeführte Maßnahme bildete der Umbau eines ehemaligen Geschäftshauses in ein Wohnhaus in der Raderstrasse 7-11, Flur-Nrn. 140, 141 und 142, in Jülich, Kr. Düren. Im Zuge verschiedener Ausschachtungen für 12 Punktfundamente, einen Fahrstuhlschacht, einen Pumpensumpf, eine Kellertreppe, 2 Balkonsubstruktionen, 7 Kanalgräben sowie Bodenabtrag für eine Neugestaltung des Hinterhofbereiches fand eine archäologische Baubegleitung mit Planum-und Profilaufnahme statt. Abb. 1: Lageplan der Maßnahme (eingetragen in DGK-Ausschnitt 5004/25) Das betroffene Grundstück liegt in der Jülicher Altstadt auf der Südseite der Raderstraße innerhalb des römischen vicus und grenzt an die spätantike Kastellmauer, welche, im Aufgehenden rezent adaptiert, die südöstliche Abschlussmauer der Hinterhofbebauung und Grundstücksgrenze bildet (St.29). Die untersuchten Flächen liegen zum einen im Kellergeschoss des Gebäudes (St.2), zum anderen im südöstlich an das Hauptgebäude angrenzenden Hofbereich (St.14) sowie im Bereich der zukünftig als PKW-Stellplatz genutzten Hinterhofbebauung am Südostrand des Grundstücks (St.15). Die besondere Lage des Geländes ließ spätrömische bis frühneuzeitliche Befunde erwarten. Das im Zuge der Baumaßnahme im Inneren vollständig umgebaute Hauptgebäude ist 1950 in Stahlbetonskelett-Bauweise errichtet worden und diente bisher als Möbelhaus. Die ehemals zweigeschossige Hofbebauung am Südostrand des Geländes wurde im Bereich der Parzelle Raderstraße 7 ehemals als Wohntrakt des früheren Eigentümers (Nork) und die Fläche auf den Parzellen 9 und 11 als Schreinerei genutzt und 1951 als Ziegelbau errichtet. Von der Hofbebauung ist die obere Etage sowie das flach gegründete, nordwestlich abschließende Mauerwerk zum Hof hin im Vorfeld der Maßnahme abgebrochen worden. 2. Technische Vorgehensweise, Vermessung Die archäologischen Arbeiten vor Ort wurden nach Erteilung der Grabungsgenehmigung durch die Obere Denkmalbehörde Düren am 10. November 2010 begonnen und liefen bis zum 12. September 2011. Die einzelnen Bodeneingriffe wurden unter archäologischer Kontrolle unter der AktivitätsNr. NW 2010/1061 ausgeführt. Die wissenschaftliche Grabungsleitung wurde von Thomas Ibeling M.A. und die technische Grabungsleitung vor Ort von Norbert Bartz übernommen. Die Untersuchung, Dokumentation und Bergung von Funden und Befunden erfolgte allgemein unter Berücksichtigung der Empfehlungen der Landes-archäologen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und nach den Prospektions-und Grabungsrichtlinien für drittfinanzierte Maßnahmen im Rheinland des Amtes für Bodendenkmalpflege im Rheinland sowie unter Berücksichtigung der gesetzlichen Bau-und Unfall-verhütungsvorschriften. Der Hofbereich St. 14 wurde bis auf 0,40 m unter GOK abgetieft und das dabei entstandene Planum sowie das SO-Profil zum Arbeitsbereich St. 15 hin von Hand geputzt, fotografiert, gezeichnet und eingemessen. Genauso wurde mit allen tiefer in den Boden eingreifenden Schachtungen in St. 2, 14 + 15 verfahren, wobei auf eine Dokumentation befundleerer Profile und Planumsbereiche verzichtet wurde. Die Vermessung des Geländes, der Eckpunkte der einzelnen Schachtungen sowie der Planum-und Profilmesspunkte erfolgte tachymeterisch. Befunde und Funde wurden relativ zu den Planumsmesspunkten eingemessen und gezeichnet sowie mittels Tachymeter oder Nivelliergerät und Messlatte höhennivelliert.

Numit de către locuitorii ambelor maluri ale Dunării "podul de aramă", din convingerea potrivit căreia picioarele sale ar fi fost turnate din metal, podul îi era în vechime atribuit lui Traian. În credința populară, pe puntea sa ar fi trecut în cursul nopții, către Câmpia Romanaților, Domnul de Rouă, îndreptându-se spre curțile lui Ler Împărat de la cetatea Antina (Romula/ Reșca). Podul lui Constantin cel Mare reapare menționat în a doua jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea în lucrarea lui Felix Kanitz, pornind de la informațiile localnicilor, ori de la piloții Societății de navigație cu aburi pe Dunăre din Viena (Erste Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft -DDSG). Unul dintre pilonii din piatră ai podului de pe șenalul navigabil, aproape de malul românesc, este amintit în iulie 1869 de Cezar Bolliac. Același pasionat gazetar și arheolog diletant va dezveli portalul de nord în 1873, după ce îl identificase și îi marcase poziția în plan, patru ani mai devreme. Acoperit rapid cu pământ și gunoaie scurse de pe coasta satului Celei, portalul va fi redezvelit și cercetat într-o campanie intensivă, de către Pamfil Polonic și Grigore Tocilescu, între 16 iunie -15 august 1898. Celui din urmă îi datorăm publicarea rezultatelor, în 1902, întemeiate pe observațiile riguroase și desenele amănunțite ale inginerului topograf Pamfil Polonic. Abia în vara anului 1968, Dumitru Tudor va coordona săpături ale căror scop precis era redocumentarea portalului de nord și a pilonilor învecinați. Rezultatele acestor cercetări au fost relativ modeste, aducând, totuși, binevenite informații suplimentare. Ele s-au regăsit ulterior într-un articol al lui Octavian Toropu și în câteva studii monografice asupra sitului și a podurilor romane de la Dunărea de Jos, datorate în primul rând lui Dumitru Tudor. Contribuția noastră face o trecere critică în revistă a tuturor datelor istorice și arheologice existente până acum pentru podul lui Constantin cel Mare de la Oescus-Sucidava. Ea introduce ca elemente de noutate absolută pentru literatura de specialitate rezultatele batimetriei realizate în 2017 prin albia Dunării și pe cele de geomagnetometrie (2022) din zona de luncă de pe malul stâng al fluviului, astăzi pășune comunală. Astfel, în cadrul proiectului FAST DANUBE, echipa de specialiști de la Marine Research a realizat măsurători batimetrice cu sonare multibeam, prilej cu care a identificat 27 posibile urme (piloni) ale Podului lui Constantin cel Mare ridicat între Oescus și Sucidava. Urmele pilelor se întind pe un traseu liniar pe 820 m, între ele distanța medie fiind de aproximativ 30 m. Investigații suplimentare de magnetometrie au fost realizate în toamna anului 2022, între portalul de nord, brațul aferent și gârla Bozahuzului sau a Banului, Celeiului. Rezultatul acestora a constat în identificarea altor 7 anomalii (piloni) datorate podului constantinian, pe o lungime de cca 210 m. Respectivele anomalii prezintă o aliniere riguroasă cu portalul de nord și pilele de zidărie puse în evidență de batimetria realizată prin albia Dunării, iar distanța între ele este, iarăși, identică.

Στη σημερινή εποχή, όταν όλοι γνωρίζουμε τις κλιματικές και περιβαλλοντικές μεταβολές, έχει ιδιαίτερη σημασία να αναζητήσουμε μια προοπτική της κλίμακας και των ρυθμών με τους οποίους αναπτύχθηκαν και μεταβλήθηκαν τα χαρακτηριστικά του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος ως απάντηση στις φυσικές δυνάμεις. Αυτές οι αλλαγές αφορούν όλες τις πτυχές της Γης στις οποίες δραστηριοποιείται ο άνθρωπος. Στις μέρες μας, γνωρίζουμε ότι, από την εμφάνιση του ανθρώπου, όλες αυτές οι διεργασίες έχουν μεταβληθεί, πολλές φορές γρήγορα και σε διαφορετικές κλίμακες σε διαφορετικά μέρη. Η επιστήμη της Γεωλογίας Τεταρτογενούς αναπτύχθηκε για να διερευνήσει και να κατανοήσει αυτά τα πρότυπα και τις αλλαγές. Εξ ορισμού, η Γεωλογία Τεταρτογενούς είναι διεπιστημονική και περιλαμβάνει τα αντικείμενα της γεωγραφίας, της γεωμορφολογίας, της βιολογίας, της φυσικής και της χημείας της Γης, δεδομένης της πολυπλοκότητας των αλλαγών που συμβαίνουν στον χώρο και στον χρόνο. Το Τεταρτογενές, παρότι αποτελεί μόνο μία «στιγμή» (2,58 εκατομμύρια χρόνια) στην ιστορία της Γης, είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντική χρονική περίοδος, καθώς κατά τη διάρκειά της εξελίχθηκε ο άνθρωπος και περιλαμβάνει το παρόν. Τα γεγονότα του Τεταρτογενούς έχουν αποτυπωθεί στα ιζήματα, στα παγοκαλύμματα, στις γεωμορφές και στο ανάγλυφο, με μεγαλύτερο βαθμό πληρότητας και χρονικής ανάλυσης σε σύγκριση με άλλες περιόδους ανάλογης διάρκειας. Το παρόν σύγγραμμα επικεντρώνεται στην πιο πρόσφατη γεωλογική περίοδο, του Τεταρτογενούς, στις φυσικές διεργασίες που διαμόρφωσαν το ανάγλυφο και στην αλληλεπίδρασή τους με την αρχαιολογία. Αναλύονται οι κλιματικές μεταβολές κατά το Τεταρτογενές και οι συνέπειές τους στο ανάγλυφο, οι παγετώδεις-μεσοπαγετώδεις περίοδοι, οι μεταβολές της θαλάσσιας στάθμης, η ολοκαινική επίκλυση, οι επιπτώσεις στο παράκτιο περιβάλλον, ενώ αναφέρονται και οι σύγχρονες τάσεις μεταβολής της θαλάσσιας στάθμης. Εξετάζονται η συμβολή της γεωμορφολογίας στην κατανόηση της εξέλιξης του γήινου αναγλύφου της ευρύτερης περιοχής των αρχαιολογικών χώρων και ο προσδιορισμός των περιβαλλοντικών-μορφολογικών αλλαγών σε διάφορα γεωμορφολογικά περιβάλλοντα. Περιγράφεται η αλληλεπίδραση του προϊστορικού ανθρώπου με το παλαιοπεριβάλλον, ως προς την εξέλιξη του αναγλύφου ως παράγοντα επιλογής αρχαιολογικών θέσεων, αλλά και ως προς τις ανθρωπογενείς επιπτώσεις στην εξέλιξη του αναγλύφου. Παράλληλα, δίνεται έμφαση σε μεθόδους και τεχνικές έρευνας με μεγαλύτερη έμφαση στις νέες τεχνολογίες. Τέλος, αναλύονται χαρακτηριστικές μελέτες περιπτώσεων από τον ελλαδικό και ευρύτερο μεσογειακό χώρο.

Electric resistivity tomography (ERT) prospection conducted at the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic site at Kharaysin, Jordan, building on previous surface prospection and excavation, found a number of new sub‐surface anomalies. Subsequent excavations determined that the anomalies corresponded with the stone walls of habitation structures and possibly terrace walls. These features covered large areas of the site slope, inclusive of clustered settlement structures and frequent building superpositions indicative of multi‐phase occupation. Despite the generally arid conditions, the moist soil matrix allowed for the effective use of ERT. This article presents the integrated data of the archaeological excavation and the geophysical survey. As a test case it proves the utility of ERT in the identification of Pre‐Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) and Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) sub‐surface anthropogenic features.

The site of Stublina-Supska, a long-known Neolithic settlement located in the Middle Morava Valley, was first excavated in 1950. These initial excavations, primarily aimed at gathering data on the site’s stratigraphy and chronology, confirmed its continuous occupation during the Late Neo-lithic (Vinča culture), spanning the Vinča-Tordoš I phase to the Vinča-Pločnik IIb phase. In 2019, geophysical prospection of Stublina-Supska was carried out, revealing key features of the Late Neolithic settlement, including evidence of enclosures and variability in settlement density. This paper discusses the results of the survey, focusing on the settlement’s size, layout, and internal organisation. The findings underscore the importance of geophysical methods in understanding settlement dynamics and provide a valuable framework for future archaeological investigations to refine the site’s occupational history and its role within the broader context of Late Neolithic communities of the Vinča culture.

The existence of an extensive Gräberstraße-type necropolis in the Roman city of Segobriga is confirmed by the funerary-type structures located 2,400 m from the city and by the excavation of five funerary monuments located along its main entrance/exit road. The inscriptions, sculptures and architectural remains of funerary character exhumed prove, in addition, its use by members of the higher social classes, including wealthy freedmen. Until now we did not know the spatial structuring of the monumentaand their relationship with each other and with the road. This information is vital to know the internal topographic organisation and the constructive density of the necropolis. Geophysical surveys with ground penetrating radar (GPR) and multispectral images captured with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have recently been carried out in order to improve our knowledge in this field. They have been developed within the framework of an ongoing research project to study the northern suburb. The objective of these surveys was to identify new funerary monuments not visible on the surface along the route of the road. This paper analyses the methodology and processing of the two techniques used. It also evaluates their comparative applicability to detect buried remains in calcareous soils. The data obtained indicate the presence of mausoleums on both sides of the roadway according to the Italic model of funerary viae. Those located in the first line form two continuous rows, while isolated monuments are located at the rear. This model prevailed in the cemetery areas of the Western Roman Empire from the end of the 1st century BC onwards

This paper presents and discusses the results of geophysical and archaeological prospections at the site of Szilvás in southeast Transdanubia (Baranya County, Hungary). The multiperiodic site was used from the Late Copper Age to the Migration Period, but the vast majority of the pottery
sherds relate to the Vuèedol pottery style. The find of a possible wheel model highlights the role of technological innovations. We identify a complex enclosure system with five ditches and a large number of pits, suggesting that we deal with a densely built, fortified settlement connected to the Vuèedol complex. This complex is to be seen in the context of important social and economic transformations in southeast and Central Europe in the early 3rd millennium BCE, during the Late Copper and Early Bronze Ages.
However, only a few Vuèedol settlements have so far been excavated and published. Thus, the site of Szilvás opens up the possibility of gaining a better understanding about the domestic activities, subsistence economy, the layout and structure of the settlement, and its complex spatial organization.

E por fim, a todos que de uma forma ou de outra contribuíram para realização deste trabalho. Esta pesquisa apresenta os resultados da aplicação de métodos geofísicos não invasivos, visando a indicação de possíveis locais de deposição de materiais, no levantamento arqueológicos em um sítio estuarino localizado no município de Penalva, no estado do Maranhão. Os métodos utilizados foram Magnetometria e Radar de Penetração no Solo (GPR). As medidas magnéticas foram utilizadas para indicar os locais para escavação. O GPR foi utilizado para confirmar as anomalias geradas pelo método magnético, proporcionando a diminuição de erros quando as anomalias magnéticas não são provenientes de feições arqueológicas. Foram realizados 14 perfis de GPR, utilizando uma antena de 400 MHz e 1664 medidas magnéticas, utilizando o magnetômetro. Durante o levantamento arqueológico realizado, baseando-se nas anomalias fornecidas pela geofísica, a equipe liderada pelos arqueólogos Deusdédit Carneiro Leite Filho e Fernando Luiz Tavares Marques realizou cinco escavações no sítio, o que lhes permitiu o resgate de várias peças cerâmicas. Os resultados apresentados nesta pesquisa permitiram verificar e avaliar a potencialidade da prospecção geofísica como método auxiliar em estudos arqueológicos. Palavras-chave: Geofísica.

In this article, the authors present the salient archaeological results of a diachronic, interdisciplinary research project on rural settlement and land use in a region of low mountains in southern Germany. Despite clear locational disadvantages, in particular great distances to drinking water sources, archaeological excavations and an extensive dating programme document an unexpectedly long continuity of prehistoric settlement in the area.

The article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of the sacred architecture of the Göbekli Tepe temple complex (10th-8th millennium BCE, Turkey) and the ceramic temple models of the Trypillia-Cucuteni culture (5th-3th millennium BCE, Ukraine, Romania), emphasizing their cosmological parallels, religious semantics, and cultural interactions. The study reveals common principles in the organization of sacred space, particularly the use of "U"-shaped entrances, round window illuminators, solar-lunar and serpent symbolism, and orientation according to the cardinal directions, all of which reflect the early agricultural communities' understanding of the structure of the Universe. The author analyzes the typology of temple miniatures (open, closed, multi-level models), their correspondence to actual cult buildings, and considers them as means of encoding and transmitting sacred knowledge. Special attention is given to the interpretation of symbols such as the "Sacred Tree," "axis mundi" (world axis), and serpentine motifs in the context of Neolithic cosmological concepts, their role in rituals, and their connection to later myths about death, rebirth, and the duality of knowledge. The study traces the cultural diffusion of religious traditions from the "Fertile Crescent" to Europe, focusing on the transformation and adaptation of sacred practices in local contexts. The article emphasizes the relevance of rethinking the development of ancient religious systems in light of new archaeological discoveries that indicate the complexity of the spiritual worldview of early agricultural societies during the Neolithization stage. The identified parallels between Göbekli Tepe and the Trypillia-Cucuteni culture suggest the existence of universal archetypes of sacred architecture, which served as "cosmograms"-material models of the universe. The study also highlights the social role of temples, reflecting the developed organization of labor, hierarchy, and specialization in early agricultural communities, as well as their potential influence on the formation of religious ideas that could have formed the basis for later mythological narratives, particularly the images of Eden, the World Tree, and the Serpent.

Eind 2001 werd beslist om Houthulst te inventariseren als testgebied voor de realisatie van de zogenaamde Lokale Archeologische Advieskaarten 1 (fig. ). Deze kaarten, die op lokaal niveau aangemaakt worden, steunen op de informatie uit de CAI. Tot een dergelijke adviserende kaart is het nog niet gekomen, maar er werden voor de gemeente Houthulst wel een aantal GIS-lagen onderzocht die op dat ogenblik nog niet beschikbaar waren in de andere provincies. Deze werden in West-Vlaanderen voor het eerst gebruikt en toegepast binnen het CAI-onderzoek. Van dit digitale kaartmateriaal werd het nut naar archeologische advisering toe uitgetest. Interessante voorbeelden waren de actuele en potentiële bodemerosiekaart, de microtopografische kaart van het IJzer-en Handzamebekken en de kaart van de natuurlijke en recent overstroomde gebieden in Vlaanderen (NOG-ROG bestanden). Bovendien werd in het kader van deze gemeentelijke inventarisatie besloten om voor het eerst een gedetailleerde inventarisatie op te stellen van het Wereldoorlogerfgoed 2 . Tijdsgebrek en een nieuwe aanpak bij de advisering leidde ertoe dat het onderzoek in maart 2002 werd stopgezet. In een eerste fase werd de gekende archeologische informatie in de CAI-databank ingevoerd en in de GIS-laag ingetekend. Hierbij werd ook het Wereldoorlogerfgoed behandeld. Hieronder volgt een C A I -I : D e o p b o u w va n e e n a r c h e o l o g i s c h b e l e i d s i n s t r u m e n t 117 1 Topografische kaart van de gemeente Houthulst [Topografische kaart, 1/100.000, raster, zwartwit, 1986-1990 (NGI/OC-GIS Vlaanderen)].

Just over a hundred years after Cahokia’s urbanization in the mid-eleventh century, social unrest is evident in significant military, political, and social transformations. Escalations in violence are revealed in palisade walls with bastions constructed ca. AD 1175, marking Cahokia as one of the earliest Mississippian communities to undertake a major defense-building program. By AD 1250, towns throughout the Mississippian world would possess protective berms, moats, and palisades. Changes in Mississippian warfare appear to have been precipitated by increased competition among powerful and wealthy social groups, perhaps principal families: that is, noble aristocracies constituted as social houses. The social house model paves the way for envisioning Mississippian institutions of political action and control as an outgrowth of dynastic challenges among interconnected, rival houses that competed for legitimacy, power, prestige, resources, and wealth during times of climate change, the ill effects of increasing urbanization, and escalations in social competition and violence. The outcome of such strategies involved not only collective actions by leaders but also resistance to emerging institutional controls. While leaders sought to achieve political agendas, they were often thwarted by the opportunities corporate-group actions afforded in their opposition and resistance to political designs.

The work here shown consists of an integrated survey (Topographic/static GPS/NRTK/Laser Scanning) of a small Sicilian extraurban context, Borgo Schirò, known for the historical events that led to its construction, following the issuance of the law n. 1 of January 2nd 1940, for the elimination of the latifondium. Given the different nature of the elements to be surveyed (buildings, urban elements, roads) different techniques of metric data acquisition were used for each of them. The integration of all of them, allowed a useful comparison of the final products, offering the possibility of making highly accurate qualitative analysis on the individual structural cases and a high level of detail in the architectural cases focused. The reduced timing and the very small number of operators needed for data acquisition and processing, make the achieved outcomes satisfactory and the integration of survey methods adopted clearly successful.

Le projet Occidunum (« Oppidums et premières agglomérations d’Occitanie, de la révélation archéologique à la valorisation culturelle ») s’inscrit dans le cadre du Défi clé régional Sciences du Passé. D’une durée de 4 ans (2022-2025), il est conduit par une quarantaine de chercheurs issus de plusieurs laboratoires régionaux (TRACES/Toulouse, ASM/Montpellier, GET/Toulouse, CRESEM/Perpignan) et de l’Inrap, ainsi que par des médiateurs culturels et des étudiants. Il vise à mieux comprendre les habitats de hauteur protohistoriques, leur évolution et leur rôle dans l’occupation du sol. Il s’articule autour de trois axes principaux : l’établissement d’un état des lieux de la documentation à l’échelle de la région Occitanie par le biais d’une base de données interactive, la caractérisation archéologiques des sites sur la base d’une approche combinant les instruments de télédétection tels que le LiDAR ou la géophysique et les contrôles archéologiques ciblés sous forme de sondages, la promotion de ce patrimoine archéologique au travers d’actions de valorisation et de médiation. Le projet a pour principale intention d’inscrire pleinement les techniques de détection dans la chaîne opératoire des recherches archéologiques, vue comme un continuum, de la détection à l’identification archéologiques des vestiges et à leur interprétation, puis à leur valorisation grâce aux outils numériques. Dans cette optique, ont été réalisées en 2023 cinq opérations de prospections géophysiques sur les sites de La Monédière à Bessan (Hérault), des Teixonères à Castelnou (Pyrénées-Orientales), des Touriès à Saint-Jean-et-Saint-Paul (Aveyron), du Castera à Ibos (Hautes-Pyrénées), ainsi que sur l’oppidum de Vieille-Toulouse (Haute-Garonne). Ces opérations, pour certaines d’ampleur importante, ont non seu-lement permis d’apporter des résultats notables quant à la structuration et à l’organisation des sites étudiés, mais aussi de valider la démarche consistant à systématiser ce type d’approche dans l’analyse des gisements, en affinant les protocoles d’étude et les méthodes d’acquisition (magnétiques, tomographiques, électromagnétiques ou électriques) grâce à une collaboration étroite entre géophysiciens et archéologues. La plupart d’entre elles donneront lieu à des sondages de vérification programmés sur les deux années à venir.

Geomagnetical Prospection in (L)Ibida (Slava Rusă Tulcea County). Preliminary Results of the First Stage of a Joint Research Project by the Archaeological Institute Iaşi and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen The site Slava Rusă, identified with the Roman settlement Ibida, is with more than 24 hectare one of the most important fortified Roman settlements in the Romanian Dobruja (Moesia Inferior), providing especially finds from Late Antiquity. The joint research project envisages an exhaustive geophysical survey of the site and its surroundings. In a first stage the German-Romanian team focussed on certain areas extra muros and on a larger plot inside the fortification. While the results from the surveys north and south-west of the ancient city limits had been rather disappointing the prospection inside the city walls delivered very interesting results of the architecture during late antiquity. Several larger building complexes ("insulae") and roads could be ident...

menée à deux échelles d'investigation. La première, conduite sur l'ensemble de la plaine alluviale, permet de recueillir les données générales qui caractérisent le fonctionnement spécifique de ce bassin-versant pendant la période holocène : détermination des séquences sédimentaires, végétales et des phases d'occupations humaines. La seconde est celle d'une démarche géoarchéologique menée à l'échelle d'un site-test : elle met en évidence et date de la façon la plus précise possible des interactions entre événements naturels et activités anthropiques, interactions révélatrices des mutations de l'ensemble du bassin-versant.
