The International Scientific Conference entitled “Secrets of iron - from raw material to an iron ... more The International Scientific Conference entitled “Secrets of iron - from raw material to an iron object” was organized by the Institute of Archaeology in cooperation with the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb as the seventh in a series of meetings of experts on topics related to medieval archaeology, but also other archaeological and historical periods. The gathering took place in Zagreb on the 10th and 11th of September 2020 in the Gallery of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb at 6 Pavao Hatz Street, with an all-day program. The Organizing and Scientific Committee consisted of scientists from the Institute dealing with the medieval period: Tajana Sekelj Ivančan, PhD. Tatjana Tkalčec, PhD. Juraj Belaj, PhD. Siniša Krznar PhD. and doctoral student Tena Karavidović. A total of 62 colleagues participated, of which 44 international and 18 Croatian, who presented 16 international and 11 local presentations and/or posters. Although we live in challenging and unstable times caused by the pandemic of Covid-19 virus, but also by the earthquake in Zagreb which, in the spring of 2020, significantly damaged the city centre, the intention to address issues related to iron production and the manufacture of iron objects in the pre-industrial era was successfully realised. The scientific conference was organized as a hybrid event, with presentations held at the Museum Gallery and via the web platform, all broadcasted live with the active involvement of participants in discussions through the web platform Crowdcast. Posters of the participants who were not able to attend the conference in person were printed out and available online on the Institute of Archaeology website during the conference. The official languages of the conference were Croatian and English. Several lectures and presentations from the conference were prepared for these Proceedings. The received papers cover multiple archaeological and historical periods, from the Early Iron Age up to the Modern Age, while geographically covering almost the entire European area and beyond. The Proceedings are interdisciplinary and include papers with various methodological approaches and sub-topics that permeate and complement each other. The sixteen papers collected in the publication present the results of non- invasive research methods on sites with remnants of ironworks activities, the geological study of the potential for ore formation within a lowland landscape, studies of ore sources and mining, the results of archaeological excavations of preserved furnaces, workshops and ancillary facilities, as well as insights on archaeological finds of slag and technical ceramics and iron objects, as well as discussion on long-term iron production and knowledge transfer and the results of conducted analyses from the spectrum of natural sciences which define the types of materials and technology of iron production and production of iron objects, as well as methods of approach to chemical profiling of archaeological samples. The afore- mentioned papers are signed by thirty-five (co)authors, scientists from Slovenia, Austria, Germany, the Czech Republic, Romania, Poland, Latvia, the Russian Federation and Croatia, who, each in their own way, open a new perspective and contribute to our understanding of iron production and processing. With these Proceedings, we aim to encourage some new reflections, present the results of new archaeological and interdisciplinary research and insights that will be useful in further research on specific topics related to iron production and processing, and offer them to the general scientific and professional public.

The intention of the conference was to acquaint scientists and the general public with new research and interpretations, and to encourage quality scientific discussion on everyday life and attitudes towards the death of mediaeval and early modern populations. As this is a topic that cannot be fully covered by archaeological methods alone, our goal was to bring together scientists of different profiles (archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, molecular biologists) in a multidisciplinary attempt to interpret the life and death of our ancestors.

Project presents the results of the scientific project ‘Production of Iron Along the Drava River During Antiquity and Middle Ages: Creation and Transfer of Knowledge, Technology and Commodities - TransFER project (IP – 2016 - 06 - 5047)’ funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. The research presented explores the evidence for and nature of iron production in the lowland area of the central Drava River basin in Croatia during late Antiquity and early Middle Ages, from the turn of the 4th to the early 9th centuries. The wide-ranging methodology of the project features non-destructive archaeological site identification (surface survey and geophysics), archaeological excavation of sites with attested bloomery iron production and processing along with their associated dwelling and settlement structures, as well as experimental archaeology. The record of bloomery iron production and processing is explored via an interdisciplinary approach which examines the technology used as well as the natural resources (bog iron ores, wood and plant remains) exploited in the production process. The results of the research testify to the importance and longevity of iron production in the area of the Drava river valley.

It is a result of efforts of the medievalists of the Institute of Archaeology to establish continued international gathering of the academic community in Zagreb in order to discuss current archeological topics on mediaeval archeology. The 4th International Scientific Conference on Mediaeval Archaeology Fortifications, defence systems, structures and features in the past, organized by the Institute of Archaeology in cooperation with the Croatian Institute of History, took place from the 7th till the 9th of June 2017 in Zagreb. Our wish was to encourage the researchers to present, through this topic, their knowledge on technical solutions of certain defensive elements of different fortifications, different manifestations and changes in the organization of defensive structures and systems over time, with regard to the causes of those changes and identification of possible patterns of defence systems, structures and features in a certain area, region or in a certain archaeological or historical period. Since the aim of the scientific conference was to perceive the given topic in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary manner, we are pleased that in this book, besides the papers dealing with mediaeval fortifications, we have the opportunity to publish 37 papers that study the defence systems in the preceding and following periods (Prehistory, Antiquity, Modern Period) and that archaeological studies are complemented by the studies of historians, art historians and architects as well.
Zbornik Instituta za arheologiju / Serta Instituti Archaeologici, Vol. 10. Sacralization of Landscape and Sacred Places. Proceedings of the 3rd International Scientific Conference of Mediaeval Archaeology of the Institute of Archaeology, 2018

Changes of religious systems or their coexistence documented in the landscape raises further questions, particularly those pertaining to broader socio-cultural phenomena and dynamics. Even if such processes are not documented in written sources, they could often be recognized in toponyms, folklore, archaeological finds and in contemporary religious practices. This publication presents analyses of sacred landscape from the perspective of: archaeology, folklore, ethnology and cultural anthropology, literature, architecture, history, art history, mathematics etc., and at the same time covers the period from prehistory, through antiquity and Slavic period and the Middle Ages to the modern period and contemporary times. In addition to this, it also compares different processes from different regions and times, by and large from Europe.

Ništa bolja situacija nije ni sa znanstvenom objavom provedenih istraživanja te je velika većina objavljena samo u obliku kratkih preliminarnih izvješća. Kako bi stručnoj, ali i široj zainteresiranoj zajednici omogućili uvid u novija istraživanja ili reinterpretacije starih nalaza, Institut za arheologiju organizirao je u lipnju 2014. godine Prvi međunarodni znanstveni skup sredn�ov�e� sredn�ov�e� kovne arheologi�e s temom Grobl�a i pogrebni običa�i u sredn�em i ranom novom vi�eku na prostoru s�everne Hrvatske. Kako se radi o temi koja se ne može u potpunosti obuhvatiti samo arheološkim metodama, cilj nam je bio okupiti veći broj znanstvenika različitih profila (arheologa, antropologa, povjesničara, molekularnih biologa) u multidisciplinarnom pokušaju interpretiranja života i smrti naših predaka. Na skupu je tako sudjelovalo 26 znanstvenika koji su održali 14 predavanja. Skup je održan u prostoru Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu čiji djelatnici su nam pružili veliku potporu na čemu im najsrdačnije zahvaljujemo, posebno tadašnjoj ravnateljici Jacquelini Balen. Iste 2014. godine Institut za arheologiju pokreće izdavanje svoje nove edicije pod nazivom Zbornik Instituta za arheologi�u / Serta Instituti Archaeologici radi objavljivanja radova sa skupova u organizaciji Instituta te radova vezanih uz pojedine godišnjice i obljetnice. Prikupljeni i pozitivno ocijenjeni radovi sa skupa Grobl�a i pogrebni običa�i u sredn�em i ranom novom vi�eku na prostoru s�everne Hrvatske objavljuju se unutar 4. knjige Zbornika.

Using landscape in the Middle Ages in the light of interdisciplinary research. Proceedings of the 6th International Scientific Conference on Mediaeval Archaeology of the Institute of Archaeology , ZIA 18, 2021

In it, we tried to connect the facts identified by archaeological research with the findings of interdisciplinary paleoclimatic research and with the research on climate and weather, based on direct and indirect data from written historical sources from the wider Carpathian Basin.
The late medieval archaeologically explored settlement at the position of Buzadovec – Vojvodice (north-western Croatia) is presented. The settlement was formed at the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century in a lowland landscape, not far from the river course. Frequent floods or a major flood in the late 13th or early 14th century caused the position of the older settlement to be abandoned and moved to the slightly elevated terrain. The settlement was continuously inhabited until about the middle of the 15th century. The reason for the cessation of the settlement’s existence has not been determined, but an interesting phenomenon of soil erosion of the neighbouring hill has been recognized, which caused the cultural layers of the abandoned late medieval settlement to be covered with meter-thick deposits of sterile clay.

According to the preserved characteristic sections, particularly the form and decoration of the cheekbars, the form of the loops for attaching the cheek straps and reins, as well as the cross-section of the mouth section, it can be concluded that the parts of both bits belong to the type of simple two-part bits with cheek bars such as were in use during the early medieval period. They are compared with the closest analogous finds of bits from the same period from the region of Slovenia, but also and beyond, and together with earlier published archaeological artefacts from this area they indicate a considerable intensity of settlement in this area along the Drava River during the medieval period.

For the past 10 years, several of these smelting workshops, dated to Late Antiquity and the early medieval period, have been excavated. It was realised that the furnaces were not isolated in the landscape, but rather that they were located in the close vicinity of settlements, always by a creek, on a small slope, and within a landscape that retains water, which enables the accumulation of bog iron ore in the soil. Due to the fact that the smelting process is highly complicated and requires good preparation as well as good execution, it is believed that it took place during summer and early autumn. The reasons for such a hypothesis lie in the fact that before the smelting process could even begin, certain necessary preparations that included the collection of ore and wood, the drying of logs, and the preparation of charcoal, essential for the process, had to have been completed. Furthermore, archaeo-botanical evidence found within the walls of one furnace, as well as within the settlement, supports the same hypothesis.

Provedena analiza biljnih ostataka pružila je važne informacije o vegetaciji koja je uspijevala u blizini lokaliteta Virje-Volarski breg tijekom njegova zaposjedanja, odnosno tijekom latena (mlađega željeznog doba), kasne antike i ranoga srednjeg vijeka. Biljni pokrov sagledan je iz arheološke perspektive, prvenstveno s obzirom na okolnost da je lokalitet korišten za različitu funkciju u različito vrijeme. Za kasnu antiku i rani srednji vijek dokazana je talionička djelatnost koja je zahtijevala velike količine goriva, dok u latenu takva djelatnost na istraženoj površini nije zabilježena. Istraženi latenski objekti naseobinskog su karaktera kao i ranosrednjovjekovni objekti. Zamijećene razlike u korištenju različite vrste drva povezane su s različitim vremenom njegova iskorištavanja, uvjetovane drugačijim navikama stanovništva s jedne strane, ali i mogućim različitim klimatskim uvjetima s druge strane, te korištenju različite vrste drva za različitu namjenu.

locations were researched in the surroundings of Virje (Croatia) in the
basin of the river Drava, on which the primary processing of iron was
confirmed during six archaeological campaigns. This tedious process of
iron ore smelting took place on these locations during the late Antiquity
and the early Middle Ages, as was demonstrated by the results of the radiocarbon
analysis (C14) taken from furnaces examined and accompanying
archaeological material. Such sites are extremely rare in Northern
Croatia.
Virje is located in the area which, throughout history, was rich in resources
necessary for the production of iron (wood, clay, water), but there
is the question of the sources of raw material, i.e. iron ore. Starting from
the basic assumption that raw materials come from surrounding areas,
an analysis of the concentration of iron in the surrounding sediments
was conducted. The results have revealed that some of the samples show
extremely low values, however, one part of it contains about 20% of iron
in the soil. This leads us to the conclusion that the lowland, marshy landscape
along the river Drava, where groundwater is high and where water
is retained longer during colder and more humid periods, is a perfect environment
for the natural settling of iron ore necessary for the process of
smelting. Conducted studies have shown that the positioning of smelting
activities in the vicinity of Virje is conditioned by natural resources in the
Drava River basin, where smaller local deposits of iron can be found.

Sacralisation of Landscape and Sacred Places
which will be held on the 2nd and 3rd June 2016, at the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, 19 Zrinski square, Zagreb, Croatia.
Human settlement of landscape raises also the question of marking the landscape with one’s own religion. A similar happens when religious systems are changed. In addition, we often witness preserved continuity of sacred places. Such procedures are often undocumented, but their traces can still be found in toponyms, folklore, archaeological finds and in contemporary religious practices. The Conference will gather about 80 participants from Croatia and abroad They will approach the conference theme from different research perspectives and disciplines.
Introductory plenary lecture "Sacral spatial arrangement of landscape" will be given by prof. dddr. Andrej Pleterski, Research Advisor, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Conference consists of the following sessions:
- Human and sacred landscape: paradigms
- Traces of sacred sites: prehistory
- Myth in landscape
- Sacred place - the arena of religious discourses
- Social realities in the sacralisation of space
- Narratives and practices in the sacralisation of space
- Reading of holy places and sites in Islamic tradition
- Traces of sacred sites: antiquity
- (De)Sacralisations: spatial biographies
- Christian spatial symbolisation
