In the history of archaeology of ancient Thrace, the analysis of indigenous ceramics has re‑ ceived less attention than other archaeological material, especially imported Greek wares. In recent years however, more archaeologists have begun intensively analyzing these ceramics in an attempt to further understand external influences on the manufacturing and consumption practices of ancient Thracians. The purpose of this article is to describe recently excavated, locally made ceramics from an inland market site known as emporion Pistiros. Although this site has a long history of archaeological excavation, this article utilizes diagnostic sherds ex‑ cavated during the field school campaigns of the Balkan Heritage Foundation between 2013 and 2016, which are hitherto unanalyzed. Through the use of a systematic cataloguing and analysis system this article attempts to present characterizations about these ceramics from the Late Iron Age in the Northwestern Rhodope Mountains, which will result in a typological system for use at the site as well as cross‑site comparisons.

Research conducted using Airborne Laser Scanning methods in northern Poland allowed traces of a settlement from almost 2,000 years ago to be registered. The most valuable item found is a copper-alloy scallop shell-shaped plate which is still an unknown object in the cultural realities of the Roman Period in northern Poland. The results of pollen analysis of the material obtained during the cleaning of the found scallop shell-shaped plate indicate the dominance of herbaceous plants over the representation of trees in the vicinity of the archaeological site discussed. The advantage of synanthropic plants among herbaceous plants informs us about the open habitat communities formed as a result of human activity (fields, meadows, roads or ruderal areas).

Several archaeological sites from the Late Iron Age have recently been discovered in Posočje, a region along the upper and middle reaches of the River Soča/Isonzo (NW Slovenija, NE fringes of Italy), which compel us to re -examine the Latenisation of the region. Supra -regional La Tène forms began to appear in the material culture at the end of the Early Iron Age, in the late 4th and early 3rd centuries BC. This was followed by a marked decrease in habitation remains, a ‘hundred -year crisis’ with very little archaeological evidence available for the time between the initial decades of the 3rd and the mid-2nd century BC. The picture then changed again with the rise of the Late Iron Age Idrija group, as most of the sites connected with this group date between 150/130 BC and the Augustan period. This is also the period of the first ancient literary sources mentioning the wider area, which inspire ever newer attempts at ethnic identifications of the population living there. The sources reveal that the Romans appear to have associated the area with the Carni.
