“…These villages, generally located on strategic hilltops, were settled for many centuries, sometimes until the late Iron Age (Mihovilić, 2013). As reported above, the Mompaderno cranium dates back to the Early Bronze Age and, in particular, to a period just before the rise of the first permanent protohistoric settlements (Borgna et al, 2018).…”

The Mompaderno cranium was found in 1883 at Baderna/Mompaderno in Croatian Istria. It was suspected to date from the Mesolithic or Neolithic period, but radiocarbon analyses, performed by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) on collagen extracted from two teeth, have provided an age range of 2,202-1928 cal. BC, which corresponds to the Early Bronze Age in the investigated region. Macroscopic observations and X-ray micro-tomography (micro-CT) of the cranium have shown antemortem sharp force trauma on the frontal bones, probably caused by a bronze axe, and a related osteomyelitis likely caused by an infection of the wound. The study has also revealed a previous depressed fracture and an osteolytic area interpreted as intradiploic meningioma. Results provide rare and earliest evidence of interpersonal violence in the northern Adriatic region.

“…Hundreds of similar fortified settlements, located on hilltops and protected by imposing dry-stone ramparts, mark the landscape of the north-eastern Adriatic region between the Trieste Karst plateau, the Istria peninsula and the Dalmatian islands. These villages were settled for many centuries, in some cases up to the arrival of the Romans in the area in the early 2nd century BC, and shared homogenous traits in pottery assemblages and funerary practices [29]. Among these are burial mounds widely documented in the whole region with negligible differences and generally attributed to Early and Middle Bronze Age (ca.…”

Integrating Airborne Laser Scanning and 3D Ground-Penetrating Radar for the Investigation of Protohistoric Structures in Croatian Istria

We present the investigation of two rather ephemeral archaeological sites located in the municipality of Oprtalj/Portole (Croatian Istria) by means of integrated archaeological, geophysical and remote sensing techniques. The results obtained confirm the first interpretation of these contexts; a protohistoric burial mound and a small hillfort, respectively. We further obtained detailed information about both deposits through 2D and 3D remote sensing and geophysical studies that produced maps, volumes, profiles and cross-sections. At the first site, the volume reconstruction of both the inner stone core and the superimposed earth of the putative stone mound also allowed us to estimate the labour necessary to erect the structure. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the integrated approach can be valuable not only to acquire novel data about the archaeological deposits but also to calibrate future investigations and to plan effective measures for heritage management, monitoring and valorization.

“…da so se lahko prikazovale večje, kot so bile v realnosti, vidimo denimo tudi v prizoru pomorske bitke iz Nezakcija in na nekaterih sočasnih antičnih prikazih. 12 Lov z lokom in puščico (in psom) je prikazan tudi na drugih situskih in sorodnih etruščanskih oz. rimskih spomenikih, na primer na situli Arnoaldi, na traku v Estah, na koščenih ploščicah iz grobnice Comeana-Montefortini, pa tudi na kamnitem prestolu Corsini (kjer gre sicer za lov na merjasca).…”

Situlska umetnost se je razvila kot odmev torevtičnega sloga, ki se je z Bližnjega vzhoda s posredništvom Feničanov, Grkov in Etruščanov razširil do Venetov, Retijcev, Histrov ter njihovih vzhodnih sosedov na območju Dolenjske. Značilna je za čas od pribl. 600 do 300 pr. n. š. in predstavlja najpomembnejšo in najzanimivejšo obliko likovnega izražanja starejše železne dobe na območju, ki sega od vznožja Apeninov na jugu do Adiže na zahodu ter Drave in Save na vzhodu, posamezni kosi pa so si preko alpskih prelazov utrli pot proti severu vse do Donave.Za situlsko umetnost je značilno upodabljanje motivov s pomočjo vrezovanja, punciranja in tolčenja bronaste pločevine. Na ta način se krasijo posode ter osebni predmeti prestižne vrednosti, denimo čelade, pasovi, nožnice, uhani. V treh stoletjih obstoja je situlska umetnost šla skozi več faz in prepoznavnih slogov, ki so v precejšnji meji pogojeni s prostorom. Figure so prikazane dinamično, čeprav so precej stilizirane in postavljene v določene poze. V motivnem pogledu gre za umetnost, v kateri izbruhne figuralno upodabljanje življenja v vsej njegovi pestrosti: prikazani so običaji posvetnega in kultnega značaja, delo, boj, zabava, rojevanje in umiranje.
