Full textAbstract:
The paper is an evaluation study of the biographical work of Karol Andel, who, as a civil servant in the interwar and post-war periods, devoted himself to the amateur collection of ethnographic material and the search for archaeological sites. His work refuted opinions of the prehistoric sterility of many regions, and also laid the foundations of many ethnographic and archaeological collections in Slovakia – in Kysuce Záhorie, Levoča and Bojnice, and at the Slovak National Museum in Bratislava. In his fieldwork he collaborated with respected authorities of archaeology and ethnography in Slovakia, including J. Eisner, V. Budinský-Krička, Š. Janšák, B. Szöke, R. Bednárik and M. Markuš. Thanks to his lifelong professional work and passion, he eventually became a researcher at the Ethnographic Institute, and later the Archaeological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences.

Full textAbstract:
In the Slovak Republic (SR), after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 in Czechoslovakia and the collapse of ČSFR in 1993, the problem of creating a national narrative of historical memory, in particular about the Second World War, as one of the important elements of the transformation of Slovak society and systemic post-communist transformations in the young state, became more urgent. The article deals with the official version of preserving and popularizing the historical memory of the Second World War in the Slovak Republic, the main state institution for the implementation of which is the Institute of National Remembrance established in 2002, as well as various interpretations by Slovak historians and politicians of such key events of the Second World War as the history of the Slovak state in 1939-1944, the Hungarian-Slovak “Little War” in March 1939, the participation of Slovak military units in the war on the Eastern Front, the Slovak National Uprising of 1944, the Holocaust. Various sources are used: scientific literature and fiction, cinema and historical journalism, military memoirs and memorials of historical memory, materials of “oral history”, etc. The authors emphasize that the bifurcation of Slovak historiography, historical memory and society itself in assessments and interpretations of the events of World War II in national history continues to this day, primarily as a confrontation between official/supranational and national versions of historical memory. The supranational approach, which applies an integral method, synthesizes views, offers multidimensional visions, and evaluates historical facts, phenomena and processes based on the criteria of liberalism and democracy, is preferred at the present stage.

Full textAbstract:
Prejudiciality is an institute that also concerns the unity of the legal system and the jurisdictional organisation. Its proper legal regulation should ensure no discrepancy in resolving conflicts assigned to the various judges and courts that make up the judiciary. The institute of prejudiciality permeates the entire civil process. It is related to the basic procedural principles such as legal certainty the independence of judicial decision-making. The article aims to take a closer look at the historical development of this institute in the past and especially in the legal order of the Slovak Republic. The intention is reduced to Roman law and following the Slovak legal environment. At the same time, it is impossible to circumvent the connection with the legislation in the Czech Republic and their common roots in the Austria-Hungary empire. We were interested in whether the current legislation is based on its roots or has already deviated from them. This perception is essential to know the essence of a legal institute. The result is a comprehensive vision that also opens the door to the changes needed for the future.

Conflict archaeology is a young subdiscipline of Hungarian archaeological research. The Ministry of Defence Military History Institute and Museum has been conducting research on the battlefields of Mohács and Harsány mountain (AD 1526, 1687) since 2010. The methodology of the research is based on classical conflict archaeological methodology (landscape archaeology, non-destructive archaeological research, military terrain analysis). The area and the historical landscape of the first and the second battle of Mohács show similarities, at the same time the different amount of source material resulted different battlefield or landscape archaeological perspectives.

Abstract The paper proposes a basis of theory with the aim of clarifying the casual nature of the relationship between the West Slavic and non-West Slavic Proto-Slavic base of the Slovak language. The paper links the absolute chronology of the Proto-Slavic language changes to historical and archaeological information about Slavs and Avars. The theory connects the ancient West Slavic core of the Proto-Slavic base of the Slovak language with Sclaveni, and non-West Slavic core with Antes, which are connected to the later population in the middle Danube region. It presumes emergence and further expansion of the Slavic koiné, originally based on the non-West Slavic dialects, with subsequent influence on language of the western Slavic tribes settled in the north edge of the Avar Khaganate. The paper also contains a periodization of particular language changes related to the situation in the Khaganate of that time.

Purpose. We show the main directions of work of the West Siberian archaeological detachment (team) of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS, demonstrate the methods used and present the results and the possibilities of their interpretation. Results. In 2018, the West Siberian archaeological detachment celebrates the 45th anniversary of its formation. The long-term head of the team is academician V. I. Molodin. All studies are carried out within the framework of a multidisciplinary approach starting from the search for archaeological objects (sites Tartas-1, Vengerovo-2, -2A, -6, Staryi Tartas-5, Ust’-Tartas-1,-2; Chicha-1, Vengerovo-6 and others) to their laboratory investigation. We widely apply a range of analytical methods in all of our activities including almost all stages of research: from the search for archaeological sites to their processing in close cooperation with various scientists. We collaborate with specialists from the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia; the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia; the Institute of Solid State Chemistry and Mechanochemistry SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia; the Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia; the Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia; Novosibirsk National Research State University, Novosibirsk, Russia; the Center of Collective Use (CCU) “Geochronology of Cenozoic”, Novosibirsk, Russia; Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany; Ludwig-Maximilian Munich Institute, Munich, Germany; the Center of Archaeology of Kurt Engelhorn, Mannheim, Germany and others. Conсlusion. Studies of the West Siberian archaeological detachment, which were carried out over the recent two decades, have provided new data that develop existing points of view, clarify existing concepts or allow to build new concepts of historical and cultural processes. It is obvious that the modern paradigm of science requires participation of specialists in natural sciences at all stages of archaeological research.

Full textAbstract:
The exhibition entitled Kings and Saints – The Age of the Árpáds opened in Hungary’s historical sacred capital, the coronation town of the kings of the House of Árpád, on 18 March 2022. The archaeological artifacts and historical documents on display at the exhibition reveal the history of the Hungarians from Árpád’s arrival in the Carpathian Basin to the extinction of the House of Árpád upon the death of András III in 1301. The exhibition presents the history and material culture of a ruling family which – having arrived as an equestrian people of the steppe and later making Christianity a state religion – gave the world not only an apostolic king but also the highest number of saints from one family, and ruled the Carpathian Basin with a very strong hand for four hundred years, influencing almost all of Europe through its extensive dynastic connections. To understand the geopolitical significance of Hungary and the Carpathian Basin in the Árpád period, we need to go back to the distant past; at the same time, we need to clarify the historical significance of the House of Árpád itself, and to understand the purpose and geographical origin of the Hungarians who arrived in the Carpathian Basin, led by Árpád, to the territory of present-day Hungary.

Full textAbstract:
On 5 December 1848, the grave of the first, and so far the last, royal couple whose identity was confirmed with certainty – by common consent – was found in Székesfehérvár. We should also add that this was the last proven burial of a ruler of the Árpád dynasty in the capital of the royal house (since the burial place of the child László III, who died in 1205, is unknown). The finds were, and still are, interesting, not only because they were undisturbed: neither conquerors nor treasure hunters had managed to rob the graves. This was also of particular importance from a historical and cultural history perspective, since János Érdy’s archaeological excavation method and the results are still considered exemplary by his scientific successors. It was the excavation and the interest generated around it that led scientists to investigate the person, age, historical role and greatness of Béla III, and the excavation is the only source from which we know about the representation of the ruler in death. The original state of the king’s grave and the other graves in the vicinity can be reconstructed from the excavation documentation, such as the drawings made by János Varsányi on site (although Varsányi himself drew the queen’s grave based on the accounts of those on site, after the outer coffin had been opened before his arrival). Admittedly after many ups and downs, the royal skeletons discovered became the subject of study by generations of Hungarian anthropologists. In 1935, Lajos Bartucz expressed the importance of re-examining all the bones that had been discovered by that time: “They will shed some light on the inheritance of certain anthropological stamps in the family of the Árpáds.” It is fitting and just that the finds of the graves discovered in 1848, six hundred years later, are now at the centre of archaeogenetic studies.

Full textAbstract:
In the historical framework of the newly unified Italy (1861), in parallel with the collection of the classical age materials, paleoethnological collections came to be defined following different dynamics of formation. Compared to the former, which traditionally occupied the field of the humanities, prehistoric artefacts struggled to be included among the sciences of antiquity, finding their place among the natural sciences instead. Particularly, natural caves proved to be exceptional archaeological contexts offering much more scientific data than the open-air sites about the definition of the most ancient history of Man and, for this reason, privileged places for the recovery of artifacts. The article aims to present the collecting history of the prehistoric materials coming from the caves of Mount Chiarastella, whose collection and formation practices fit into the framework of the Sicilian collecting history of the second half of the 19th century. Many actors were involved as well as purposes for the recovery of the artifacts, a fact that has led to an inevitable consequence, the dispersion of the artifacts in three public museums and the loss of their traces among private collections. Nevertheless, the multidisciplinary approach adopted in the research has made it possible to overcome the problems linked mainly to the lack of documentary sources, allowing the reconstruction of the entire history of research on the site, as well as the first faithful reading of the original archaeological context.

Focusing on one archaeological mound, Tell ed-Duweir, in the lowland region of Palestine, in the vicinity of Hebron, identified as biblical Lachish, the fortress city in the kingdom of Judah, Chapter 4 moves between London, the Tell, and its neighbouring villages. The chapter is a history of a landmark excavation, which uncovers the variety of its archaeological, biblical, anthropological, social, and political layers. Drawing on a wealth of written and visual materials at the Wellcome Institute, the British Museum Archives, the Israel Antiquities Authority, the National Archives, as well as on the press and archaeologists’ records, the chapter relates the identification of the Tell as Lachish, the discovery of the famous Lachish Letters (in pre-Exilic Hebrew), and their effect on Biblical Archaeology and epigraphy, to the rise of new fields of knowledge such as physical anthropology and anthropometrics. The chapter argues that the excavation project was regarded by archaeologists as a means of modernizing rural Palestine and the lives of Palestinian peasants and labourers. It recovers the modernizers’ daily life on the Tell and their representations of it in writing, photography, and documentary films. It also recoups the process of the Tell’s expropriation, as a historical monument, by the mandate authorities. Alongside the reports of archaeologists like James Leslie Starkey (who was murdered on his way from the Tell to the opening of the new Rockefeller museum in Jerusalem), Olga Tufnell, and Charles Inge, the chapter recovers the voices of villagers as they are heard through their petitions to the government about their denied access to the excavated land.

Abstract In the fall of 1921, Reisner returned to America for the first time since 1912, while Dows Dunham managed Harvard Camp at Giza. In late November Dunham returned to Meroe. From Boston Reisner successfully helped Ludwig Borchardt regain his Cairo institute and property after confiscation by the British during the war. Reisner’s Harvard students included several talented foreigners, but African American William Leo Hansberry openly challenged his colonialist interpretations of indigenous African civilizations. Others rejected his Libyan-origins theory for ancient Nubia as well. The chapter also covers the new antiquities division law and Howard Carter’s 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun as seen through Reisner’s eyes. Dows Dunham was “loaned” to the Egyptian Antiquities Service for Saqqara excavations and parted ways with Reisner thereafter. The team completed the drawings of the Menkaure temples at Giza, and Reisner’s two-volume publication of Kerma finally appeared, a solid archaeological work but hardly free from racist historical interpretation. The Meroe excavations were finished by 1923; a short excavation season at Sheikh Farag, near Naga ed-Deir, was followed by clearance of the Middle Kingdom forts of Semna and Kumma at the Second Cataract. 1924 saw the inaugural season of James Breasted’s Epigraphic Survey at Luxor, the discovery of Djoser’s Third Dynasty Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara, the murder of British officer Sir Lee Stack, and the expedition’s discovery of the Sixth Dynasty tombs of Qar and Idu at Giza.

<em>Abstract</em>.—A century ago, sea sturgeon (Atlantic sturgeon <em>Acipenser oxyrinchus</em> and European sturgeon <em>A. sturio</em>) were prevalent in the fish communities of all major German rivers, both in the North and the Baltic Sea drainages. Since then, population sizes have decreased rapidly due to overfishing, pollution, and hydropower construction. The last catches in the Baltic drainage occurred in the late 1960s. Only individual captures of sturgeon have been reported in the last 30 years, the most recent being in Lake Ladoga (Russia) in 1984 and off the coast of Estonia in 1996, approximately 25 years after the disappearance of the species from the fishery. Today, sturgeon are considered extinct in German waters. In 1996, the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, in cooperation with the Society to Save the Sturgeon, started the pilot phase of a remediation program involving assessment of the prerequisites for remediation. The first juvenile European sturgeon were transferred to the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries under a scientific cooperation agreement with the Centre d’Étude du Machinisme Agricole, du Rural, des Eaux et Forêts in May 1996. With these specimens, an ex situ measure was initiated. In addition, phylogenetic and population genetic analyses of the species were carried out using mitochondrial DNA and microsatellites. These genetic analyses of recent and historical material have proven the existence of two different species in what was previously considered the Baltic or common sturgeon. The Atlantic sturgeon has been identified as endemic in the Baltic Sea and the European sturgeon in the North Sea. According to morphological evidence based on archaeological samples, the Atlantic sturgeon invaded the Baltic Sea approximately 2,000 years ago and has been the only sturgeon species there for the last few centuries. These results led to the separation of the remediation activities in North Sea and Baltic Sea tributaries. Broodstock development using the northernmost populations of the Atlantic sturgeon is currently being carried out. Subsequent reproduction for restocking requires a sufficiently large broodstock and a genetic breeding plan based on pedigree analysis. As a further prerequisite, an evaluation of the status of critical habitat for the early life stages of Atlantic sturgeon in the Oder River has been performed in collaboration with the Institute for Inland Fisheries of Poland. Alternative fisheries techniques, based on data for the bycatch of exotic sturgeon, are being developed to reduce the fishing pressure on juvenile sturgeon upon release.

Full textAbstract:
In this study NMR MOUSE and micro DSC techniques were used to investigate the interaction between collagen and various vegetable tannins during leather making process with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of different water environment in relation to tannin type. We have previously showed that relaxation times may provide useful information on collagen matrix properties. The vegetable tanned leathers were obtained by patented techniques inspired from ancient recipes at the National R&D Institute for Textile and Leather, ICPI Division, Bucharest using various vegetable extracts such as myrobalan, gambier and chestnut. Longitudinal and transversal relaxation times T1 and T2eff were measured using a PM2 portable NMR-MOUSE with 20.05 MHz frequency. Micro DSC measurements were carried out with a high-sensitivity SETARAM Micro-DSC III in the temperature range (5 to 95) °C at 0.5 K min-1 heating rate. The investigated leathers showed significant differences in the values of spin-spin (T2eff) and spin-lattice (T1) relaxation times depending on tannin type that well corelates with the variation of the calorimetric parameters (denaturation temperature and enthalpy, peak shape). These results highlight the complementarity of the information obtained by the two techniques and open new ways for both designing new leather assortments and analyses of historical and archaeological leather.
