Die Ikonographie von Sklaven und Freigelassenen in der römischen Kunst <br/> <br/>Editor: Binsfeld, Andrea; Ghetta, Marcello <br/> <br/>Abstract: Ubi servi erant? – Wo waren die Sklaven in der Antike? Die Antwort scheint auf der Hand zu liegen: Überall. Man findet Sklaven in den privaten Haushalten, in Handel, Handwerk und Verwaltung, im Kaiserhaus, in den Städten etc. Inschriften, Papyri, literarische und archäologische Zeugnisse sowie die Rechtsquellen belegen die weite Verbreitung der Sklaverei, so dass man für die griechische und römische Antike mit Fug und Recht von Sklavenhaltergesellschaften sprechen kann. Wie aber sahen die Sklaven aus? Hatten sie die Möglichkeit, Bilder von sich selbst zu überliefern? Wie haben die Herren sie wahrgenommen? Welche Funktion erfüllten die Bilder der Sklaven? Die Beiträge in diesem Band decken ein breites geographisches, chronologisches und thematisches Spektrum ab. Auf diesem Fundament und durch die kombinierte Auswertung einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Quellen gelingt es, die Ikonographie der Sklaven besser zu erfassen. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/41569 Title: Die Landwirtschaft in der Provinz Gallia Narbonensis und die Frage nach dem Sozialstatus der Arbeitskräfte <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Groff, Thierry http://hdl.handle.net/10993/41492 Title: Test Document <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Chapeau, Jean-Yves http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39459 Title: The material culture of burial and its microgeography: A Luxembourg cemetery as a methodological example of an object-centred approach to quantitative material culture studies <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Streb, Christoph Klaus; Kolnberger, Thomas; Kmec, Sonja <br/> <br/>Abstract: This article uses a novel quantitative methodology to examine sepulchral material culture. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of social spatialization and art as agency, the authors contend that variations in grave designs and materiality cannot simply be explained in terms of changes in fashion and mentality. Other factors also need to be taken into account. Using a digital data collection tool, the Cemetery Surveyor Application (CSA) developed at the University of Luxembourg, they compile a set of data encompassing all the material aspects of each grave in a cemetery in Luxembourg (Western Europe), the setting of their case study. The graves are dated from the 1850s to 2015. |The authors compare the chronological evolution of the most recurrent material features with a GIS-based spatial analysis of the same features. The results of the spatial analysis not only largely confirm the chronological study, but also allow them to be more precise (dating is often problematic) and include undated graves (a third of the sample). The digital data collection tool also allows them to compare cemeteries and to highlight variations in these that cannot merely be imputed to chronology, but also to spatial proximity and material agency. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/38837 Title: Rezension zu: Peter Henrich, mit Beiträgen von Petra Held, Corina Knipper und Kurt W.

During excavations 6 square meter area was excavated which contained a Mesolithic fireplace and traces of burnt Iron Age constructions. A 25 m long burnt construction wall was found. The Stone Age fireplace contained pieces of bone and burnt hazelnut shells. The site is the oldest found in the Jägala river area and the find material consisted mostly of flint flakes and tools, with a significantly smaller amount of quartz. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/35305 Title: Kuus ruutmeetrit ajalugu.

During the excavations only 6 square meters were excavated, but this small area contained several combustion events from the Mesolithic until recent years. The site was used ~7000 BC by hunter-gatherers for cooking food (meat and nuts) on fire. 8000 years later there were metal producing activities going on and an Iron Age house built and burned at the same location. The site had traces of military activities from the Soviet period and was opened by road reconstructions carried just before excavations. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/34947 Title: Reinventing the wheel? Data management system for archaeological collections <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Pagi, Hembo; Sikk, Kaarel <br/> <br/>Abstract: We often think that we can do better than our predecessors. Over the last five months we have been working with a new archaeological data management system (called TARA) for the Archaeology Department of the University of Tartu in Estonia. Are we reinventing the wheel? Some years ago Stuard Eve presented the Archaeological Recording Kit (2008), a very flexible system, which can handle differently structured archaeological data. There are several other open source systems available. Time has passed and many new and useful web technologies are outperforming the classic PHP/MySQL approach. Our goal was to create the system where all the data structure could be modified without the need of a developer or writing any line of code. At the same time we strive to provide a good user experience and flexibility. Main keywords to describe the design principles of TARA: unrestricting, unstructured, extendable, interconnectable (with non-textual media), fast, scalable. At the moment all of the department’s data management is done using MS Excel spreadsheets. The main task of the the project is to get rid of the spreadsheets and merge it into system which provides a similar user experience via a web-based user interface. About 95% of the users are consumers of data, hence finding something fast is of utmost importance. The group of users acting as collection managers are doing data entry and for them very simple data-entry forms and workflows are created. The technical approach has taken benefits from many new web technologies and approaches. The RESTful API ensures all the data being easily accessible from outside the application and enables us to create different output layers, such as OIA-PMH. The database system is a nonrelational and no-SQL database, which makes many data-related procedures more flexible and faster. For a better user experience client-site data rendering is used. This is based on different . js-frameworks. All technologies used are open source - so is our project outcome. The project team contains developers who are specialised on museum- and cultural heritage related webapplications and two archaeologist with computer science background. <br/> <br/>Commentary: Talk about development of archaeological collections management infosystem for University of Tartu.

Although information about them is present in archaeological reports and also available in publications, there has been no general research done regarding combustion features specifically. The purpose of this study was to fill the gap of relevant research and to test the hypothesis that the structural features of fireplaces reveal information on the subsistence model of settlements.The study is based on a database of Estonian Stone Age fireplaces, which was compiled by using the available data on all excavated objects. The database includes 167 fireplaces and contains quantifiable data about stones in fireplaces.The analysis of data revealed that the use of stones in fireplaces changed significantly in time. While most of the Mesolithic fire-places contain them, they become scarce in the Neolithic. It can be concluded that the use of stones in fireplaces is related to the economy of settlements and changes within time reflect the changes in general subsistence strategies.

The work describes the relation of a fireplace structure to it's possbile function and shows that sites with different modes of economomy can be distinguished by their fireplace structure. It is shown that the size of fireplace and the use of stones in fireplaces decreased in the Neolithic, possibly because of use of pottery. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/34938 Title: Kuidas sood mineviku saladusi välja annavad <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Sikk, Kaarel <br/> <br/>Commentary: Popular overview of the opportunities wetlands offer archaeologists and a brief history of archaeological excavations of waterlogged sites in Estonia. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/34937 Title: Arheoloogilised kaevamised Eestis 1799 – 1999.
