The archaeological heritage of the Lovas Municipality, located in eastern Croatia (western Syrmia), has been known to the wider archaeological public since the middle of the 20th century, when a Middle Bronze Age (MBA) hoard of gold and bronze finds was discovered. However, apart from the importance of the hoard for the definition of the MBA in Croatia, any detailed systematic research in the area was not attempted until 2011, when the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb conducted its initial research season in the Lovas Municipality. The project was restarted in 2017, in cooperation with the Lovas Municipality and the Institute of Classical Archaeology of Charles University in Prague, and has been continuously running ever since. In the last five years, research in the Lovas Municipality included a systematic field survey, targeted trial excavations, geophysical surveys, as well as a re evaluation of the data collected through previous research and in 2011. Moreover, the project included the re study of the MBA Lovas and Vukovar hoards. This paper presents preliminary results of the 2011, 2017, and 2018 seasons, focusing primarily on the current insight into the archaeological topography of the Lovas Municipality. Additionally, the paper brings the preliminary results of scientific analyses of the Lovas and Vukovar hoards that were conducted in 2020.

In the article, I consider the factors determining the results of excavations and the relationship between the results obtained and the views expressed about the past by researchers/archaeologists. I am interested in the extent to which and how the attitude of the researcher and the choice of method(s) of exploration of cultural stratifications determine the amount of information obtained. I conduct these considerations based on the theory of scientific cognition formulated in the interwar period by the Lvov (now Lviv) microbiologist Ludwik Fleck. According to his assumptions, it was supposed to change the thinking of the time about, among other things, truth as a real existing being or the objectivity of scientists’ findings. Fleck’s theory concerns science in the broadest sense of the term, the principles and rules governing its cognition, and in this form it was (and still is) applied by specialists in various disciplines. In this article, I have used the theory of the Lvov microbiologist to highlight the factors that determined the results of excavations carried out by two teams exploring the medieval burial ground and settlement of Milicz in 1953 and in 1960-1962.

The last field season of the Yurta‑Stroyno Archaeological Project conducted in 2016 focused on finishing the excavation of the five‑room house previously discovered in the southern part of the Roman settlement. Simultaneously with the excavations, a targeted field survey took place in selected areas of the rural settlement. Moreover, the material uncovered over the three years of the project is being gradually processed, some of the preliminary data of a rather statistical character are also presented here.

Bibracte-Centre archéologique Européen is a complex comprising an archaeological site and a Research Centre and Museum, located in the Morvan Regional Park (France). The location of the complex is determined by the fortified Celtic settlement, identified with the oppidum of Bibracte, located on Mont Beuvray. The inauguration of the Bibracte-Centre archéologique Européen took place in 1995. The Research Centre is responsible for excavations on the oppidum, the storage of artefacts, and creating space for archaeological research. The excavationscarried out in Bibracte offer a convenient opportunity to organise field practice for students of archaeology. Open internships organised in the course of the entire year are a complement to summer excavations. Bibracte is a place of scientific meetings and cooperation for European researchers. The educational packet dedicated to visitors is also noteworthy

This report summarises the preliminary results of the second season of excavations at the site of Lungi Tepa in the Kugitang Piedmonts, south Uzbekistan. The research was conducted by a Czech -Uzbek team in autumn 2021. The results suggest that the site was settled in the post -Kushan period, the Early and High Medieval period with traces of settlement from the Late Medieval period. Later it was used as a burial ground for the local population. Traces of metal production were found at the site.

This report summarises the preliminary results of the first season of excavations at the site of Lungi Tepa in the Kugitang Piedmonts, south Uzbekistan. The research was conducted by an international (Czech New Zealand Uzbek) archaeological bioanthropological team in autumn 2019. The excavations focused on obtaining stratigraphic data from the Medieval settlement of Lungi Tepa and uncovering an adjacent burial ground in order to get well dated reference material for future in depth study of the High Medieval chronology of the studied region.

The article presents the issues related to the Russian salt excavation and processing from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Within these three centuries arose several strong salt production centers scattered in different parts of Russia. In the north, the important role was played by saltworks held by the Solovetsky monastery, supplying all the Pomor Coast (lands extending at the White Sea) with salt and production facilities operating in Sol’vychegodsk. In the region of central Russia, the most important one was located near Staraya Russa near Novgorod, which is one of the oldest centers of salt production in the Ruthenian lands and Sol’ Galitskaya with its shallow brine sources. In the mid-sixteenth century through the Stroganov family evaporated salt production developed in the basin of the Kama River, and the “salt company” created by one of its members-Grigoriy Stroganov – at the beginning of the eighteenth century supplied up to 60% of this product to the internal market. In the 1580s the exploitation of salt lakes near Astrakhan increased and the salt obtained there was used for salting fish delivered to many Russian cities. In the first half of the eighteenth century the tax authorities acceded to obtain salt from the Caspian waters of Lake Alton, which soon-due to the significantly lower production costs-was able to partly drive the salt coming from old salt production centers out of the market. Almost simultaneously with cheap Alton salt a small amount of salt mined in Sol’ilieck (the Orenburg Province) appeared in the sale. The salt delivered to the Russian recipient until the turn of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries was acquired from three main sources: the sea, the salt lakes and underground sources of brine (later rock salt began to be operated on a larger scale). The salt evaporation technique, which developed in the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries, survived almost unchanged until the end of the nineteenth century. In all Russian salt production centers one type of a saltery building operated and it could sometimes differ only by size (saltworks of the Stroganov family were usually larger). Also one form of chren was used-a large rectangular vessel to evaporate salt which was suspended over the furnace positioned in the middle of the saltery (in the White Sea salteries chrens were round). The course of evaporation was supervised by a “saltery master”, together with a group of apprentices. No less important role was played by the specialist knowledgeable in brine well digging technique, through which the brine got straight to the saltery. Salt production and trade in Russia from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries were profitable activities, although there were cases of bankruptcies of many manufacturers because they made bad investments. In 1705, Tsar Peter I, anxious to increase the income of the country introduced a monopoly on the salt trade. According to the decision of the ruler, the producers were required to provide the tax authorities with the product at a set price, and the authorities introduced it themselves to the market already with a reasonable profit. Despite later attempts to withdraw from such a policy or introduce other fiscal solutions, the state monopoly on salt sale survived in Russia until the nineteenth century.

In the course of centuries the Early Christian sanctuaries of the martyrs either continued their purpose and remained the sacred destinations or fell into ruin and became forgotten. There was not much interest in the study of them, at least until the XVIth century, the Counter-Reformation period, when the evidence of sources was used as a weapon to defeat the opponents of the cult of the saints. Ipso facto the study has become only a devotional enterprise. Religiously oriented investi­gations of Early Christian sanctuaries became more scientific later, with the de­velopment of the Christian archaeology, as it gradually separated from theological studies. The remains of the monuments finally started to be regarded as a precious heritage, which should be carefully excavated, documented and well preserved. With G.B. de Rossi’s work the interest in the subject of Christian archaeology increased. Initiated by him the huge archaeological campaign spread in the latin West and goes on till present day. The recent research challenge is to make the pic­ture of the earliest sanctuaries more clear by removing the confessional additions and trying to face the sources in broader, interdisciplinary context.

Badania archeologiczne, jako przejaw interdyscyplinarnego podejścia do tematu zabytkowych parków i ogrodów, pozwalają na poznanie ewolucji tych założeń oraz odkrycie ważnych dla ich historii obiektów. Możliwości są duże: od wstępnej kwerendy z użyciem zdjęć lotniczych, starych map i innych materiałów źródłowych, przez badania terenowe oraz nieinwazyjne badania geofizyczne, aż do dokładnych badań wykopaliskowych. Wyniki mogą posłużyć za podstawę w trakcie prac restauracyjnych, umożliwić wierną rekonstrukcję, wspomóc naukowymi dowodami wszelkie projekty i strategie konserwatorskie.

Archaeological investigation as part of a cross-disciplinary approach is an important means to trace the evolution and significant features of historic parks and gardens. Its scope ranges from background studies using aerial photographs, historical maps and other records, through analytical fieldwork and non-intrusive geophysical surveys to detailed excavation. The results can be used as the basis for accurate restoration, repair and reliable reconstruction in addition to informing conservation management plans and policies.
