Pohorsko Podravje Three Millennia Ago: Tradition and Innovation in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages
Keywords:
settlement processes, habitation remains, lowland settlements, necropoleis, archaeometric analyses, archaeozoological analyses, anthropological analysesSynopsis
Numerous new archaeological sites have come to light in the last three decades, mainly during the rescue excavations conducted in advance of motorway constructions across Slovenia. The same is true for Pohorsko Podravje as well. In course of these campaigns, quite densely spaced settlements from the Late Bronze Age have been unearthed, which was surprising considering that the knowledge up to these excavations did not hint at such a settlement pattern in the area. Pohorsko Podravje has since been the focus of a special research project aimed at studying the newly discovered archaeological finds and gaining new insights into the habitation remains and settlement processes on the plain of the Dravsko polje and the fringes of the Pohorje Mountains in the centuries of the late 2nd and early 1st millennia BC. This was a time of the Urnfield culture with its peaks and declines, the last of which also led to a new age – the Early Iron Age and the Hallstatt culture.
