The unusual in usual: small finds-household items, pottery, jewelry; the bridge between Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages.
Roads and rivers 4
(project Life on the Roman road: communications, trade and identities on Roman roads in Croatia from 1st - 8th CE, HRZZ)
24-25th of November, 2022
The Institute of Archaeology
Our focus is on small finds, those often presented summarily in the publication of research results; considered uniform, chronologically indeterminate/difficult to determine. Researchers often encounter new questions in specific cases when processing such finds or notice certain deviations from the usual picture. We are particularly interested in such phenomena or cases that indicate the existence of certain communication paths/connections between different communities from Antiquity to the Middle Ages in the Carpathian Basin.
Sections
• Jewellery: local variants, curiosities, possible suprachronological/supraregional connections
• Household items made of metal: finds which are usually deemed chronologically insensitive/neutral, but can point to other patterns: social organisation or any other phenomenon
• Pottery: deviation from the expected picture/result
• The connection between Antiquity and Middle Ages; finds pointing to the existence of communication between different communities
