Experiencing Dalmatia: What Constitutes The Sensory Landscape Identity Of The Dalmatia Region?

Author(s): Maja Kljenak,Marko Polič,Slavko Kurdija,Mojca Golobič / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2013

The article addresses the concept of landscape identity considered from a new perspective – a perspective of five fundamental human senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Landscape identity is mostly understood as a phenomenon based on its distinguishable visual characteristics. However, human environment is a multisensory medium, rich in information from all fields of perception. Equally, a man is a multisensory being and experiences his environment with multiple senses. The underlying assumption is that human identification with places does not only arise from the interaction with their visual, but also with their auditory, olfactory, tactile, and even gustatory properties. As a research area, the Dalmatia region in Croatia has been chosen. By the content analysis method, applied on samples of lyric poems and promotional (mostly tourist) materials, the aim was to examine what features, visual and non-visual, the social conception of Dalmatian landscape is based on. The results show that landscape identity of Dalmatia, in terms of sensory perception, is rather diverse. Understanding landscape identity as a sensory multidimensional phenomenon opens many new questions and possibilities in the field of landscape theory and practice.

HYDROLOGICAL HERITAGE WITHIN PROTECTION OF GEODIVERSITY IN SERBIA - LEGISLATION HISTORY

Author(s): Sava Simić / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2011

The paper presents a summary of the history of development of legislation in the field of geodiversity in Serbia. An important segment of this theme is the relationship of man to the protection of water and its phenomena - hydrological diversity and hydrological heritage. Although the historical development of nature protection as complex, socially significant, professional and scientific field is relatively long and in a sense shows the constant progress, the fact is that today's legislation in this sphere unreasonably delays for the reality and needs, and this is especially noticeable when comes to protection of geodiversity and water phenomena - hydrological heritage. This paper, through the attempt of the representation of development of a broad field of the geodiversity and hydrological heritage protection in the light of its legal and institutional introduction into social frameworks, in particular points to the existing problems that are reflected in the current regulation - the Nature Protection Act.

Wykorzystanie metody litologicznej do weryfikacji rezultatów nieinwazyjnych badań kurhanów z epoki brązu na pograniczu śląsko-wielkopolskim (Las Krotoszyn, Wielkopolska)

Author(s): Iwona Hildebrandt-Radke,Mateusz Stróżyk,Janusz Czebreszuk,Mateusz Jaeger,Łukasz Pospieszny,Mateusz Cwaliński,Jakub Niebieszczański,Joanna Rotnicka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 107/2018

The spread of non-invasive methods in archaeology made it possible to study forest areas. In the study of barrow cemeteries located on the Krotoszyn Ridge (Krotoszyn Forest), aerial laser scanning methods were used to implement a numerical terrain model for morphometric recognition and identification of burial mounds, which were additionally verified in the field. Magnetometric prospection made it possible to study the complex internal structure of the studied mounds on the basis of the diversity of magnetic anomalies. The verification of the geomagnetic surveys was based on geological drillings in the places with the largest magnetic anomalies within the burial mounds; the material collected from them was subjected to lithological tests and analysis of magnetic susceptibility.

HUMAN SETTLEMENT IN POLISH TERRITORY DURING THE LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM (CA 24,000–19,000 CAL. BP): THE CALM BEFORE A NEW DEAL

Author(s): Marta Połtowicz-Bobak,Dariusz Bobak / Language(s): English Issue: 110/2020

Human presence in Poland during the Late Pleniglacial is evidenced by Gravettian sites, mostly from Małopolska. Such settlement almost disappears from the archaeological record during the period between 24 and 19 ky cal. BP. Only a few sites from that period have been discovered – two workshops without absolute chronology, and some meagre records of settle-ment with uncertain dating to the LGM. The Polish territory was resettled in the19th and 16th millennium cal. BP onward, the settlers being associated with the Epi-Gravettian and Magdalenian cultures.

NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT ON THE FORMATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL LAYERS IN A LAKE-SHORE AREA: CASE STUDY FROM THE SERTEYA II SITE, WESTERN RUSSIA

Author(s): Andrey Nikolaevich Mazurkevich,Piotr Kittel,Yolaine Maigrot,Ekaterina Dolbunova,Agnieszka Mroczkowska,Magda Wieckowska-Lüth,Wiktor Piech / Language(s): English Issue: 110/2020

The article presents the results of a study on archaeological structures and horizons developed in the palaeolake shore-zone of the Serteya II site that was occupied intermittently and to a greater or lesser intensity from the Mesolithic up to the Middle Ages. The Serteya II site is a multilayer complex used by hunter–fisher–gatherer communities in the 9th–8th mill. BC, and from the end of the 7th till the end of the 3rd mill. BC. The article is focused on the particularities of the formation of archaeological layers and the reconstruction of the ancient environment in different periods of time. The study of the sets of artefacts, their state of preservation, as well as the traits of archaeological features, may indicate the peculiarities of the formation of different sedimentological units. Based on the results of complex natural-scientific research it was possible to reconstruct the palaeo-ecology of changing water regimes as well as changes in environmental conditions.

LACUSTRINE, FLUVIAL AND SLOPE DEPOSITS IN THE WETLAND SHORE AREA IN SERTEYA, WESTERN RUSSIA

Author(s): Piotr Kittel,Andrey Nikolaevich Mazurkevich,Alexander Aleksandrovskiy,Ekaterina Dolbunova,Mateusz Krupski,Jacek Szmańda,Renata Stachowicz-Rybka,Katarzyna Cywa,Agnieszka Mroczkowska,Daniel Okupny / Language(s): English Issue: 110/2020

The article presents the results of a study on sediment deposition processes in the palaeolake shore zone, at the multi-layered Serteya II archaeological site in Western Russia. In recent years, geomorphological, palaeo-pedological and palaeoeco-logical research was undertaken in strict cooperation with archaeological fieldwork. The Serteya II site occupies a substantial area of a kame terrace and biogenic plain within a palaeolake basin. From an archaeological point of view, the site is represented by few Mesolithic artefacts, but mostly by remnants of hunter–gatherer–fisher communities attributed in the Russian scientific tradition to the Neolithic period and dated from 6300 BC to 2000 BC. Later, the area was used by people in the Bronze Age, Early Iron Age and Early Middle Ages. The integration of archaeological and multidisciplinary palaeo-environmental research allowed the natural and human induced deposition of mineral-organic and minerogenic sediments to be reconstructed, as well as the development of structures in the lake shore zone. The changes from lacustrine to fluvial system were documented and the human impact is recorded mostly in the acceleration of slope processes

Kraljevski privilegiji hrvatskim kaptolima

Author(s): Ante Gulin / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2014

Presented in the work are four mediaeval privileges about the use of authentic seals which the Hungarian-Croatian kings, Louis I (1342-1382) his daughter, Queen Mary (1382-1385, 1386-1395) and her husband, Sigismund of Luxemburg (1387-1437) distributed to the Zagreb, Trogir and Senj chapter, in order that they could freely and in a legal basis carry out the service of public activities as Croatian loca credibilia (locations of authentication) which until then they carried out on the basis of the legalised decree of King Andrew II from 1231. This law applied to all our and Hungarian chapters and individual monasteries in the region of the mediaeval Hungarian-Croatian kingdom. The privilege of the Senj chapter, which performed public activity up until the18th century was certified in 1480 by Matthias I Corvinus (1458-1490) and after him in 1647 byEmperor and King Ferdinand III (1625-1657).

Podzemni bunkeri u parku Nehaj u Senju

Author(s): Vlado Božić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2011

In Senj, in the Nehaj Park there are five underground bunkers, four of which are found in the northern part of the park, alongside the walking path, and the other is on the west side of the park alongside the sports ground. The underground trenches of bunker no. 1 are 34 m long and 3 m below the entrance level, the trench of bunker no.2 is 16 m long and 5.5 m below the entrance level, the trench of bunker no. 3 is 18 m long and 4 m below the entrance level, and the trench of bunker no. 4 is 13 m long and only 0.5 m below the entrance level. Bunker no. 5 has two entrances with a varying depth of 2 m, and its trenches are 18 m long. Bunkers 4 and 5 haveentrance openings reinforced with 1 m thick concrete and in front a round concrete base for artillery weapons. It is assumed that they were built during the time of the Italian occupation of Senj (1941-1943). Bunkers 1, 2 and 3 are particularly interesting due to where they were built, because cut into the hillside in front of the bunkers there were walking trails and then they were subsequently buried. Due to that the bunkers' entrances are now located level to the trail and the bunker trenches are below. It is assumed that they were built during enemy occupation of Senj (1941-1945). It seems that none of the bunkers were used for the purpose they were constructed for. All of the bunkers are now abandoned and the entrances are now filled with rubbish. Since the trenches will gradually assume a natural appearance with the creation of colourful calcium carbonate, it is recommended that the bunkers are cleared, the doors sealed and then visits organised to them.

РЕКЕ НА БАЛКАНУ ЈУЖНО ОД ДУНАВА И СЕВЕРНО ОД ХЕЛАДЕ У СТРАБОНОВОЈ ГЕОГРАФИЈИ

Author(s): Mirko Obradović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-2/2021

The paper deals with Strabo’s account of rivers running through the Balkans, belonging to the Black Sea, Adriatic and Aegean drainage basins. His knowledge of rivers is focused on navigable parts and river mouths, rather than on those parts closer to the source. Regarding the rivers of the Black Sea drainage basin, Strabo mentions the most important right tributaries of the Danube, and the Sava River and its tributaries are considered in relation to the ancient trade routes. The rivers of the Adriatic basin are mostly short and isolated without the possibility of easy communication between one river-basin and another, but the economic importance of these rivers is underlined and it is specified, seen from the mouth to the inland, whether a river is navigable or not. Strabo was also well acquainted with the five great rivers of ancient Macedonia and Thrace which enter the Aegean Sea. Unfortunately, Book VII of Strabo’s Geography is not preserved in its entirety, but even in the fragmentary state in which it is preserved, it contains the most complete geographical description of ancient Macedonia and the Thracian coast in antiquity we possess today.

A new method of classification of named items of 16th–18th century suburbs of Lviv

Author(s): Maryana Dolynska / Language(s): English Issue: 8/2020

Historians insist that names of places (urbanonyms) are historical sources. A new re-search method of historical urbanonymy may be developed by rethinking different methodologies and the ways of classifying urbanonyms by lin-guists and geographers. The new method can be described on the example of the research of urba-nonyms in early modern Lviv. This West Ukrain-ian city had typical features of a town operating under Magdeburg Law. The dual structure of each urbanonym (proper noun + denotatum), as well as the analysis of six criteria for the classifica-tion of urbanonyms, have allowed us to classify the town’s proper names by their denotata, more precisely by using the concept of items instead of proper noun classification. In the conclusions, it is suggested that the items should be arranged into hierarchic groups which should shed a light on all types of early modern urbanonyms (natural, man-made, and demarcated) and reveal the connections between their levels and their typical features.

Wybrane rękopiśmienne plany Kamieńca Podolskiego

Author(s): Leszek Opyrchał,Urszula OPYRCHAŁ,Rusłan Nahnybida / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2020

The article discusses seven manuscripts with plans of Kamianets-Podilskyi, the most important frontier fortress of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The plans in question were made in the second half of the 17th century and in the first half of the 18th century. The anonymous plan of the city and the castle is particularly valuable because it presents the view of the fortress before it was captured by the Ottoman army in 1672. Great importance to the study of changes in the fortress fortifications is held by the plans made by de Jean/Jacques Bonnelevay and Jan de Witte as they were produced by the hands of engineers who were responsible for the reconstruction of the fortifications.

Problem doboru jednostek odniesienia przestrzennego w integracji danych z drugiej połowy XIX i początku XX w. z terenów Galicji i Śląska Austriackiego

Author(s): Krzysztof Ostafin,Mateusz Troll,Dominik Kaim,Jakub Taczanowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2020

To map and analyze spatial historical data, accurate territorial units are needed. Changes of administrative boundaries could cause a problem for linked maps to tabular socio-economic census data. A cadastral commune can be the appropriate spatial level for mass published census data. It allows to become independent from later changes of administrative units and it could be a good starting point to link similar data for higher level of administrative hierarchy. The article presentsvarious aspects of the selection of administrative units for the mid-nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century for Galicia and Austrian Silesia.
