O kovinah v Heziodovih pesnitvahTeogonija in Dela in dnevi: kratek razmislek.Heziodovi pesnitvi Teogonija ter Dela in dnevi nista le edinistveni literarni stvaritvi, temveč tudi dragoceni pričevanji o življenju in o organizaciji grške družbe v arhaični dobi.1 Mnenja o dataciji Heziodovih pesnitev se kljub šte-vilnim študijam še vedno razhajajo. Večina klasičnih filologov daje časovno prednost Homerju, ki naj bi živel v 8. stol. pr. Kr., in posledično datirajo Hezioda v čas ok. l. 700 pr. Kr.2 V nekoliko zgodnejši čas, v zadnjo tretjino 8. stol pr. Kr., ga postavlja Martin West.3 Kakorkoli že, pesnik je neizpodbitno ži-vel v obdobju, ki ga zgodovinarji imenujejo arhaična doba, torej v času, ko so Grki od Feničanov prevzeli črkovno pisavo in začeli razvijati mestno državo, polis. Z letom 776 pr. Kr. se začno tudi seznami zmagovalcev na olimpijskih igrah, kmalu zatem velika grška kolonizacija Sredozemlja. 4 Ta čas sovpada z železno dobo na ostalem evropskem prostoru, torej dobo, ko se uporaba že-leza že povsem uveljavi. ZLATOZlato je v obeh Heziodovih pesnitvah namenjeno izključno bogovom, oni ga nosijo, zlato je njihovo delo, ali pa so sami označeni kot zlati.

The article considers cremation graves from the site of Podsmreka near Višnja Gora (Slovenia). Based on the analysis of their pottery, it could be shown that the graves can be dated to the Middle Bronze Age period (Br B2/C1) and thus represent one of the oldest cremation burials of the Bronze Age in Slovenia. First, the ceramic finds from the radiocarbon dated settlement contexts are discussed in order to reach a more exact chronological framework for the vessel forms from graves. A synthesis of all Middle Bronze Age graves, both inhumations and cremations, from central and eastern Slovenia allows us to get a better understanding of when the change in burial practices occurred. Surprisingly, the best analogies for the vessels from graves at Podsmreka near Višnja Gora can be found in the northern Carpathian Basin, where we observe a long-standing tradition of cremation burials. The analysis of radiocarbon samples from two graves from Šafárikovo in Slovakia allowed us to verify the absolute chronology of urn amphorae vessels with particular form and decoration, which we can date between the second half of the 16th and the first half of the 15th century BC. Such astonishing correspondences in the pottery between the northern Carpathian Basin and the south-eastern Alpine region seem to indicate that the very area of the Upper Tisza river, and the territory of the Piliny Culture, played a crucial role in the transmission of new burial practices, not only to Slovenia, but also across wider areas along the Sava and Drava rivers on the distribution area of the Virovitica group.
