During a resecue excavation in the area of Mušov-Neurissen (Land-register territory Mušov, municipality Pasohlávky, district Brno-venkov) in 1993-1994 we investigated an area with numerous traces of Roman military presence, and we also found evidence for settlement activities of local barbarian populations. An important Marcomannic wars site is located beneath Burgstall hill. In the area of Neurissen (Mušov-Neurissen IV), human skeletons (34 individuals) and parts of animal skeletons have been found. This article is focused on small artefacts of barbarian provenance which have been recovered from the ditch filling. One possible interpretation of this unusual find is that the humans found in the ditch were killed and discarded in the ditch during rituals, the details of which remain unknown., Ondrej Šedo., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Settlement features containing raw antler material at various stages of manufacturing are not uncommon in Germanic settlements. However, their connection with craft production and subsequent interpretation as workshops producing antler objects are often inferred a priori, without being based on a deeper analysis. Many years of research into a Germanic settlement from the late Roman period and the beginning of the Migration period at the Zlechov-Padělky site (Uherské Hradiště district), carried out in the second half of the 20th century, revealed several possible workshop features for the processing of antler material. The antler processing could be mainly related to the production of compound antler combs, which were typical during this period. Usewear analyses supported by the results of a manufacturing experiment allowed us to base such interpretations on objective data. After evaluating aspects of the production process, it is possible to compare the Zlechov features with similar finding situations from other settlements of the studied period. This helps to clarify the degree of the organisation of production and distribution of compound antler combs in the 4th and 5th centuries in the barbarian territory. and Sídlištní objekty obsahující parohovou surovinu v různých fázích zpracování nejsou zcela neobvyklým jevem na germánských sídlištích. Jejich spojení s řemeslnou výrobou a následné interpretace jako dílny produkující parohové předměty jsou však často apriorní, aniž by byly podloženy hlubší analýzou. Dlouholetý výzkum germánského sídliště z pozdní doby římské a počátku stěhování národů v poloze Zlechov-Padělky na jižní Moravě, realizovaný v 2. polovině 20. století, odkryl hned několik možných dílenských objektů na zpracování parohového materiálu. Výroba mohla souviset zejména s produkcí složených parohových hřebenů, které jsou pro daná období typické. Využití traseologické analýzy podpořené výsledky výrobního experimentu nám umožnilo opřít podobné interpretace o objektivní data. Po zhodnocení aspektů výrobního procesu je možné zlechovské objekty porovnat s podobnými objekty z jiných sídlišť sledovaného období. To přispívá k objasnění míry organizace výroby a distribuce složených hřebenů v horizontu 4. a 5. století na území barbarika.
The paper deals with the issue of Roman archaeological finds and assemblage in the Malá Haná region in the context of substantial strong Germanic settlement activities that had or may have had connections to the period of Marcomannic wars. During the last decade of research in particular on sites near Jevíčko town in was possible to gain a lot of knowledge on the issues of settlement of the Early Roman period. In addition to Roman imports, related to trade activities, a whole range of artifacts (especially militaria) can be associated with the movement of the Roman army deep in the Barbaricum or directly with the northernmost Roman temporary camp near Jevíčko. The Malá Haná region thus becomes an important research area for a detailed interpretation of Roman-Germanic interactions at the end of the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. and Příspěvek se věnuje problematice římských nálezů a nálezových souborů na Malé Hané v kontextu silného germánského osídlení, které mají nebo mohou mít vazby na období markomanských válek. Během desetiletí výzkumných prací zejména v lokalitách u Jevíčka se podařilo získat množství poznatků k otázkám osídlení ve starší době římské. Kromě římských importů souvisejících s obchodními aktivitami, lze celou řadu artefaktů, zejména militarií, spojit s pohybem římské armády hluboko v barbariku nebo přímo s nejsevernějším římským krátkodobým táborem u Jevíčka. Malá Haná se tak stává významným výzkumným prostorem pro detailní interpretaci římsko-germánských interakcí na konci vlády císaře Marka Aurelia.
Marcomans and "superiores barbari" in Třebusice and Jevíčko penecontemporaneous with Marcomannic Wars. The problem of transitional stage B2/C1 in Bohemia and Moravia. The paper deals with new finds of graves and settlements from Bohemia and Moravia during the second half of 2nd Century AD, especially important burials and metal artifacts (mainly fibulas) from Třebusice (Central Bohemian Region) and Jevíčko (historical territory of Moravia, now The Pardubice Region). Author focuses on developing a more detailed chronology of assemblages before, during and just after the Marcomannic Wars (B2b, B2/C1 and C1a). Evidence was found that "superiores barbari", ie. bearers of the Przeworsk and the Wielbark Culture, were present on Marcoman territory at this time. A similar situation where the Przeworsk and Wielbark Cultures appear to exist on Marcoman territory has been observed in other regions. These regions can be divided into eight main areas (north-western, central and eastern Bohemia, Malá Haná region (CZ), central and southern Moravia, Záhorie (SK) and the northern part of Lower Austria., Eduard Droberjar., České resumé., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
Significant forms of Roman-Germanic confrontations, especially in narrative and archaeological sources, include military conflicts. One of the featuring, but in certain ways problematic, is the supposed military intervention of the Roman administration against Marobuduus in AD 6, known through the narrative by Velleius Paterculus. The relatively generously conceived military campaign with two distinctively outlying points of campaign advance (Carnuntum and Mogontiacum) was intended to conquer the core part of the tribal union with centre in Boiohaemum. However, there is no intention to be inclined towards any of the existing hypotheses about its realization or associable archaeological finds. On the basis of relevant data, theoretical models, and GIS there is an intention to model possible and hypothetically acceptable paths for the army advance through the barbarian territory, and to test the character of their quantitative and spatial aspects., Marek Vlach., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
In this study, the demographic profile of the Roman population buried in Gerulata, southwest Slovakia, is reconstructed. Our research is based on those human skeletal remains, which were anthropologically examined and thus allowed us to partially estimate the mortality pattern of this population, chronologically dated between the 1st and 4th centuries CE. By means of current demographic methods the basic mortality parameters from the estimated life table are compared with different population models, with pacific regard to the identification of potential biases, two of which - the general infant under-representation and the unbalanced sex ration - are further discussed., Lucia Hlavenková, Jaroslava Schmidtová, Tomáš Zeman., and Obsahuje odkazy pod čarou
