Székelyföld középkori várainak kutatási módszerei a technológiai fejlődés soha nem látott korszakának köszönhetően az elmúlt évtizedekben meglehetősen sokat változtak -főképp az olyan tudományágak régészetbe való beemelésének köszönhetően, mint például a természettudományos vizsgálatok, légirégészet, LIDAR, térinformatika, topográfia stb. Habár a középkori várak kutatásában e módszerek némelyike kevésbé hasznosítható, viszont egyes esetekben kimondottan új eredmények láthatnak napvilágot. A fent említett szakterületek közül 2024-ben egy régészeti kutatásokat támogató projekt keretén belül a régészeti topográfia eszköztárából volt lehetőségem kipróbálni néhányat, amelyek révén Székelyföld két olyan őskori előzményekkel rendelkező, középkori várát -a székelyudvarhelyi Budvárt és a nagygalambfalvi Várat -is sikerült felmérni és elkészíteni a szintadatokkal ellátott alaprajzaikat, amelyek területén a legutóbbi feltárásokra az 1960-70es években került sor. A közel ötven évvel ezelőtt végzett régészeti kutatások során bár mindkét lelőhelyről készült szintvonalas felmérés, azonban a napjainkban alkalmazott műszerek nagyobb pontosságot mutatnak, továbbá a feltárások óta eltelt évtizedek alatt a terepviszonyok is sokat változtak. Ez utóbbiak adtak tehát indokot számunkra az új térképes ábrázolások elkészítéséhez. Az előadásom célja, hogy betekintést nyújtson az említett két udvarhelyszéki vár területén végzett legújabb felmérések folyamatába, módszertanába, valamint bemutassa azokat az eredményeket, amelyek valóban igazolják e felmérések szükségességét -egy majdani feltárás elengedhetetlen részeként.

One of the most valuable sources of Roman medical and cosmetic knowledge are the artefacts discovered at various archaeological sites. However, determining the exact functionality of these objects is challenging, as many tools could have served a dual purpose. Therefore, we can only speculate about their intended use, unless they are found in a clear context. Numerous objects belonging to these categories have been
unearthed in Dacia, but this paper focuses on the 25 artefacts, which originate from the Roman military site of Călugăreni / Mikháza on the eastern limes of Dacia.

Application of the conductivity methods to select zones with variable filtration parameters around the base of river levee. A b s t r a c t. The need to continuously monitor the flood embankment is necessary to introduce the measurement methods which give quick results in crisis situations. The protection of embankments as well as the prevention from floods are not only associated with the examination of the body river levee. Experience suggests that one of the problems involves the unknown geotechnical conditions of the levee base. Unfortunately, point geotechnical surveys carried out with a big measurement step were not able to fully identify the lithology variation over larger areas. This is caused by the high cost of drilling shallow wells. The application of non-invasive geophysical methods allows the completion of geotechnical research, and supplies additional information about the variability of geological medium. The structure in the area of the former river beds creates fav...

L'antico abitato di Orbetello sorge sull'estremità occidentale di un cordone litoraneo saldato a est alla costa e aperto a ovest in direzione del Monte Argentario, situato al centro di un sistema lagunare definito a nord e a sud dai due tomboli della Giannella e della Feniglia. L'attuale morfologia è dovuta a fenomeni erosivi della costa e a episodi di accrescimento dei sedimenti deltizi che hanno portato allo sviluppo dei tomboli stessi. Le fasi iniziali della formazione di dune sabbiose sembrano collocarsi nel corso dell'età del Bronzo e agli inizi dell'età del Ferro, seguite da una fase di stabilizzazione del paesaggio tra l'Ellenismo e l'epoca rinascimentale 2 . Dal punto di vista archeologico, diversi siti sono noti fin dall'Ottocento, ma le prime indagini sistematiche nell'area della laguna furono avviate solo tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e gli anni Ottanta del secolo scorso 3 , tra le quali si segnalano le ricognizioni condotte

We present results of our study in localization of the auditory evoked magnetic field measured by a noncryogenic potassium vapour atomic magnetometer (PVAM) [5]. The magnetometer was operating in a spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) regime at low magnetic flux densities and high alkali-metal vapour density [1]. Audio stimulation of short 1 kHz pulse trains was applied by a pneumatic earphone. After rejecting the subject’s heart-beat signals, signals originating from eye movements and disturbances due to mechanical vibrations, the N100m could be seen in several channels of the 256-channel atomic magnetometer. This was achieved by combining the magnetometer channels into a gradiometer configuration: one magnetometer was selected as a reference channel and other channels were subtracted from this reference. Using ten gradiometric channels with the best signal-tonoise ratio the approximate source localization of the auditory evoked field was determined by applying two methods: i) non-...

The paper is based on results of a land survey to modernize it according to E. U. requirements the work was performed in JENA, TIMIŞ County. This paper is prepared by the methodology in force, performing topographicalcadastral works necessary for the execution of sewage system in Jena village, Timis County, Romania on 2936.00 m length. In this context, what we have studied in our paper is the influence of topography on the rural areas, the way it is applied in these areas, and implicitly its influence on regional development. The stages of the land survey were as follows:-Support survey network, made of the points in the national survey network which stood at the basis of our land measurements;-Determination of the survey network, consisting of all the traversing posts;-Actual planimetric or leveling survey, by determining the position of the characteristic points that define the details of the area. The precision which has to be accounted for, in other words the maximum admitted errors in determining the coordinates of the points found on the contour of the details is of ±15 cm in flat open country. Topographical field works were conducted with total station Leica TC 805 by polygonal course process using the Romanian national geodetic system-Stereographic Projection 1970. Data processing was performed with post-processing software and specific programs of work-TOPOSYS, AUTOCAD. For the preparation of documentation, after the measurements, the data stored in electronic memory of tachymeter-Total Station Leica TC 805 were transferred to the computer memory. Levelling points were determined by polygonal course for geometrical levelling. Processing of surveying measurements was performed with the software TOPOSYS.

During the 2022-2023. rescue excavation campaign on the route of the future Požarevac-Veliko Gradište-Golubac motorway, conducted by the Institute of Archaeology from Belgrade, standard practice included geophysical survey preceding excavations. This strategy proved to be time and cost efficient, improving decision making in opening trenches. Shortly before the start of the three-month-long large-scale excavations at the site of Marjansko brdo, the team from Institute of Archaeology, Belgrade, acquired a Bartington Grad601 fluxgate magnetic gradiometer and immediately began testing the device. Several testing grids were surveyed in the zones that were not previously prospected or excavated. The following article presents the data recorded in the survey compared with the results of the subsequent excavations in an attempt to better understand basic interpretative principles of magnetogram.

In the article, the authors describe the process of archaeologization of selected objects in the local landscape, using examples from five municipalities located in the northern areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland. They look at the processes of persistence or transformation (replacement, revitalization, expansion) and abandonment (destruction, disappearance). The analysis of the collected materials combines the perspectives of archaeology and ethnography/cultural anthropology. It is part of the understanding of landscape as a cultural heritage that runs over time, its form and meaning are fields for negotiation by various entities (local communities, state administration and experts/researchers).

V slovenski arheologiji je že od začetka osemdesetih let prisotna temeljna usmeritev v arheologijo pokrajine. Ta smer temelji na domeni, da je človek v preteklosti s svojim delovanjem pustil sledi v celotni pokrajini in da je zato potrebno v arheoloških raziskavah poselitve analizirati pokrajino in procese v njej kot enoti bivanja. Medtem ko je arheološka stroka že vrsto let razvijala različne tehnike terenskega arheološkega pregleda, vključujoč sistematičen terenski pregled pokrajine, geofizikalne in geokemične meritve, fotointerpretacijo letalskih in satelitskih posnetkov, hkrati pa na interpretativnem nivoju prevzemala teoretske pristope iz geogrefije, pa smo šele z razvojem GIS tehnologije dobili učinkovito orodje za ovrednotenje tovrstnih podatkov. Osnovna izhodišča za aplikacijo GIS tehnologije so bila podana že pred leti z raziskovalnim projektom Geneze kulturne pokrajine na Oddelku za arheologijo ljubljanske Univerze. Pri sprejemanju GIS tehnologije je bil zlasti pomemben Pr...

The Migration and Early Medieval Period are characterized by changes in the demographic, economic, political and sociocultural landscapes of Europe. Since the last decade, bioarchaeological studies, especially of (stable) isotopes and ancient genomics, have yielded fresh insights into diets, kinship, lifeways, and mobilities, among other things. This body of data laid a foundation for comparative studies of skeletal remains, material culture, burial practices, and texts, which are suitable to detect patterns of correlation at various scales, thus offering a reflection of the intricate networks and dynamics characterising this time of transitions. However, the combination of diverse approaches, methodologies, and sources has become increasingly complex and revealed the need for promoting more interdisciplinary communication as well as a careful re-evaluation of comparative approaches and data set collection.
This session aims to bring together researchers working with biomolecular methods (isotopes, aDNA), and material as well as immaterial culture (artefacts, archaeological features, texts) to discuss and develop new directions of research together. Methodological considerations are emphasised, also including the establishment of data standards as basis of big data comparative studies and the (re-)use of master narratives to frame the dynamic processes of these periods.
Furthermore, the session opens a dialogue to identify challenges across linguistic, institutional, and geo-political borders, and how to tackle them in the future. We invite researchers from all spectrums of (bio-)archaeology and history to submit contributions and participate in the discussion panels following every main subject, so we can connect perspectives of the natural sciences and the humanities, and reflect on the synergy and challenges of such endeavours.
We offer the opportunity to publish contributions in consideration of the needs of the various disciplines.

Iron slag probes unearthed at the Brâncoveneşti/Marosvécs, Călugăreni/Mikháza and Vătava/Felsőrépa limes sites were subjected to FTIR spectroscopy in order to approximate their mineralogical composition and respectively surface XRF spectroscopic investigation to characterize their elemental composition and inhomogeneity. The relatively broad IR absorption bands obtained in the spectral domain 2000-400 cm-1 show that the samples are mainly constituted of silicates associated to minor quantities of aluminates and carbonates. In concordance with the expectations and supported by both the FTIR spectroscopic and XRF data the primary mineral phase of the samples is most probably fayalite (Fe 2 SiO 4). The experimental data confirm that when discussing the chemical as well as mineral composition, consideration of the heterogeneity of the samples is mandatory.

The Middle Bronze Age, associated primarily with the so-called Tumulus culture, represents one of the least understood periods of Poland’s prehistory. Knowledge of the communities of the second half of the second millennium BC is based primarily on the results of archival studies of funerary objects - barrows. The progressive development of remote sensing, including LiDAR technology within archaeology became an impetus a few years ago to start research dedicated to the recording of
Bronze Age barrows in the area of the Krotoszyn Forest (southwestern Wielkopolska). Over time, the scope of this research was expanded and the results are presented to the reader in the next volume in the SAO/SPEŚ series. This book is the culmination of several years of work by Polish and German archaeologists focused on Middle Bronze Age research. The area of their research became the region of southwestern Wielkopolska. In this part of Poland, due to the large amount of forests that survived the dynamic development of agrotechnology from the end of the 19th century, there are still a relatively large number of archaeological sites with their own landscape form preserved. The vast majority of them are barrows that are relics of the Middle Bronze Age cultural landscape. The book presented to the reader includes the results of rescue and non-invasive research, as well as the compilation of archival materials at the disposal of individual museums. The compiled information made it possible to determine the state of current knowledge about the Middle Bronze Age in the region of southwestern Wielkopolska, and was confronted with information from neighboring regions of Central Europe. The excavations and research that led to this publication were carried out by the National Science Center of Poland - (NSC - project no. 2012/05/B/HS3/03714 and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation – project number 2901391021–SFB 1266 and under Germany´s Excellence Strategy – EXC 2150 ROOTS - 390870439).

2023, Looking at Things in Southeastern Europe: Regional Archaeology in Search of Viable Futures” (17–18 April 2021). CAS Working Paper Series No. 14/1

This paper presents major characteristics of contemporary Slovene archaeology and explains them with reference to the developments in the 1980s. It begins with a short historical background of Slovene archaeology as a regional and later also national archaeology in the “Austrian” period (1870s–1918) and during the state of Yugoslavia (1918–1991) in infrastructural and conceptual terms, giving special attention to the modernization period (1945–1965) in which Slovene archaeology reached its maturity and became comparable to other Central European archaeologies. The 1980s marked the period of the “loss of innocence”, as new ideas and approaches from Anglo-American (processual) archaeology emerged in Slovenia among a smaller group of academics. One of the peaks of this endeavour was hosting Lewis Binford as visiting professor at the University of Ljubljana in 1986. Initially, new ideas and concepts did not have great success, and the culture-history approach remained dominant; they, nevertheless, gradually gained in importance in the 1990s, especially in the domain of methods and techniques of research (e.g., introduction of systematic surface surveys, stratigraphic excavation methods, geophysics, GIS, etc.). This situation we have termed “cohabitation” of competing paradigms. The next stage, after 2000, was that of “hybridization”, when a higher level of synergy of competing approaches developed, especially within the framework of the largest archaeological project in Slovenia’s history – preventive archaeology connected with the construction of motorways (ca. 1994–2008) – which, due to its unprecedented size, intensity and requirements demanded immediate and profound restructuring not only of archaeological practice but also of conceptual frameworks. This project was, by all means, the principal catalyst of the development of Slovene archaeology in the last decades. However, it would not have been so successful without adequate developments in archaeological theory, epistemology, and methods initiated in the 1980s and 1990s, which provided the conceptual infrastructure for the new practice. The present state-of-the-art in Slovene archaeology is an “eclectic” phase. The culture-history approach has not been replaced with processual or post-processual paradigms – they coexist, mix, and generate “hybrids.” Moreover, through practice, the very proponents of new ideas could better comprehend archaeology’s changing social and cultural environments.

THE ANALYSIS OF REGIME CHANGES OF THE CIECHOCINEK MEDICINAL WATER DURING EXPLOITATION (CENTRAL POLAND) Summary The waters of Ciechocinek have been described as Cl-Na, F, Br, В brine water, hypothermal brine water and Cl-Na water. Their occurrence is associated with Jurassic and Quaternary deposits. The salinity of Ciechocinek ground waters has been known for the last several hundred years. Maximal salinity has been noted in water of Ciechocinek area and 1.5-2 kilometres to the north of the town. The mineralization of waters related to Quaternary deposits is a result of mixing with shallow brine water in the Jurassic aquifer. Сl- occurs in amounts of several tens g/dm3of water and its concentration increases with depth. The concentration of Cl- ion is more than 90% of the total amount of anions and the concetration of Na+ ion is greater than 80% of the total amount of cations concentrated in salt-waters. The Ciechocinek brine water also contains minor amounts of SO42- anions and H2S....

Examinar de manera genérica en torno a la región y su realización en la nación. Los agentes de intermediación son los señores hacendados que participan y expresan el poder regional, que transitaran lentamente hacia el mercado industrial (o lo intentan) y por tanto, hacia el estado republicano y a la nueva rejilla de poder burocrático burgués con su expresión económica capitalista; el conflicto será en el siglo XIX con la necesaria nacionalización del territorio, constitutivo de la nación. El ejemplo de caso es el norte del Perú. Se estudia la teoría de nación para contrastarla con la teoría de región y establecer las particularidades que marcan a una u a otra. La región es flexible, volátil y emocional; la segunda se volvió rígida por cuanto concretó modelos de realización social. De allí también que se trabajen algunas categorías que sirvan para el análisis, historia regional, los tiempos históricos, entre otros. Luego se trata de explicar la herencia y la experiencia que enmarca a...
