Abstract Broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) is not one of the founder crops domesticated in Southwest Asia early Holocene, but was northeast China by 6000 bc . In Europe, reported Early Neolithic contexts formed , recent radiocarbon dating a dozen 'early' grains cast doubt on these claims. Archaeobotanical evidence reveals that common Europe from 2nd millennium when major societal and economic transformations took place Bronze Age. We conducted an extensive programme AMS-dating charred...
In this paper, we present an interdisciplinary and multiscalar study of Early Iron Age smithy uncovered at the Pungrt hillfort in Central Slovenia. By examining comparing stratigraphic artefactual evidence preserved both macro- micro-scales highlights importance integrated micromorphological micro-refuse analyses settlement contexts. Our approach allowed us to identify blacksmith’s workshop cyclical skimming floor surface wider area anvil, revealing presence lime plaster technology for first...
More than 5000 years old dog's coprolite was found during rescue excavation at Črnelnik pile-dwelling site in Slovenia. Although human and dog diets may overlap considerably, the content of consumed digested food, consisting plant and/or animal remains biologically diverse. While investigated fossil excrement contained many fish head bones, scales teeth Cyprinidae family, we believe that are dealing with an individual had only eaten heads, is why it suggested to be dog. Beside origin daily...
Predstavljamo rezultate interdisciplinarnih raziskav na novoodkritem kolišču Verd zahodnem robu Ljubljanskega barja. Za oceno starosti najdišča so bili ključni rezultati dendrokronoloških in radiokarbonskega datiranja lesa, podprtega z metodo wiggle-matching, ki posek lesa dveh pilotov Verda postavljajo v obdobje 4674 ± 42 cal BC, kar je nekoliko starejše ali sočasno doslej najstarejšemu odkritemu Resnikov prekop pri Igu. Keramične najdbe tipološko podobne tistim Resnikovega prekopa....
During archaeological excavations on wet sites in the area of ancient Roman Nauportus (today’s Vrhnika, Slovenia) 2005, preserved parts various wooden structures were discovered. We collected and investigated almost 500 samples wood from these. Half silver fir (Abies alba) oak (Quercus sp.). In particular, we focused dendrochronological investigation three barrels made wood, which used to consolidate walls water wells. First, constructed dated a tree-ring chronology with help teleconnection....
V prispevku so objavljeni rezultati bioarheoloških (tj. antropoloških, arheozooloških in arheobotaničnih) raziskav grobišča Marof na Igu, kjer je bilo odkritih 28 grobov iz časa od druge polovice 1. st. do konca 3. oziroma začetka 4. Izsledki ponujajo vpogled v nekatere populacijske parametre pogrebne običaje antičnih Ižancev. Antropološka analiza postregla z ugotovitvami o starostni spolni strukturi pokojnikov, pa tudi načinu sežiganja trupel. Analiza živalskih ostankov...
The archaeobotanical research of the Stare Gmajne pile-dwelling site included analyses samples taken from moss remains and vessel contents, as well wood anatomical several wooden artefacts charcoal pieces.The two forest species other macroremains provide evidences human diet gathering surrounding vegetation in Eneolithic (3521−3366 cal BC). results show inhabitants collected wild plants cultivated crops, with six cultivars identified. For artefacts, they bow was made yew rings hazel. They...
Radiocarbon dates, analysis of ceramic finds, animal bones, fruits/seeds and wood (charcoal) from settlement features the Sava group Lengyel Culture at site Dolsko – Spodnje Škovce in central Slovenia are presented discussed this paper. The aim study was to place excavated material culture its regional supra-regional context order improve understanding Late Neolithic features, chronology, pottery style(s) subsistence strategies settlements throughout area distribution group. This is first...
The results of plant macroremains studies the Eneolithic (c. 3160–3100 cal BC) lakeshore settlement at Stare gmajne on Ljubljansko barje in Slovenia are presented. Archaeobotanical material was collected two different ways: (1) systematic surface sampling from cultural layer, and (2) judgement an incompletely burnt large loom-weight. preservation state spectra were both types samples. first study primarily deals with waterlogged remains various taxa, while second carbonised half-carbonised...
