“…The city has a rich historical and cultural heritage with many Roman period influences that are still clearly visible in the form of art and, more prominently, architecture (Girardi Jurkić, 2011;Popović et al, 2021). The Roman colony of Pula (Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola, Colonia Iulia Pollentia Herculanea) was founded in the middle of the 1 st century BCE (Bulić, 2012;Popović et al, 2021). The rapid urbanisation, immigration and economic development of the city and the rural area followed the foundation of the Roman colony.…”

“…The rapid urbanisation, immigration and economic development of the city and the rural area followed the foundation of the Roman colony. The urbanistic development included the establishment of Roman infrastructure such as the forum, temples, two amphitheatres (one of which remains today) and the number of estates (villae) (Bulić, 2012;Popović et al, 2021). Roman colonies in the territory of Istria (such as Trieste, Pula and Poreč) had a degree of administrative and economic autonomy and experienced cultural and economic growth under Caesar Augustus.…”

Human skeletal and dental remains are the primary focus of bioarchaeological research, as different diseases and pathological conditions can leave marks on the bones and teeth. Study of these remains provides insights into the lifestyle, health and quality of life of past populations. In this paper, the human skeletal remains from the Ozad Arene archaeological site in Pula (Istria, Croatia), originating from 25 graves and four bone assemblages dated between the 1st and the 4th centuries CE, were analysed. The aim of the paper is to reconstruct demographic and pathological characteristics of the Roman period population from Pula to gain insight into the living conditions and the quality of life in this community, and to determine whether the site differs from other archaeological sites from the same period in terms of general health and living conditions. The human skeletal sample in question comprises skeletal remains of a minimum 48 individuals; the high subadult mortality rate and high prevalence of dental enamel hypoplasia and the presence of cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis, and periostitis indicate overall poor living conditions and widespread metabolic stress during childhood in Pula. Vertebral osteoarthritis and Schmorl′s nodes in the spines of younger individuals suggest continuous hard labour and strenuous physical activity. Based on the available data, it seems that living conditions in the Roman period Pula did not differ significantly from other Roman sites on the eastern Adriatic coast.

“…But before such consideration could take place, it was needed to introduce another vital element into the equation ─ our understanding of the Roman centuriation system, which has, in many ways, formed the practices of land exploitation until today. The question of the Roman centuriation in Istria has been dealt with by a number of prominent scholars (Matijašić 1988;Starac 2000;Marchiori 2009;Bulić 2012;Bernardini and Vinci 2020;Popović et al 2021), and we are still reconstructing the network of the land division which has transformed the previous life centred around the hillforts. Although the centuriation scheme has been partially reconstructed (Bernardini and Vinci 2020;Popović et al 2021) (Fig.…”

Proceedings from the 8th and 9th Scientific Conference Methodology and Archaeometry

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Methodology and Archaeometry (MetArh) is an annual scientific conference organized since 2013 by the Department of Archaeology of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb, and the Croatian Archaeological Society. The goal of the conference is to entice interdisciplinarity, critical thinking, new insights and approaches as well as new theoretical frameworks in contemporary archaeological science. It offers a wider perspective in observing methodology and methodological practices, also challenging traditional approaches in archaeological research, and following the creative adaptation of methods from other disciplines into archaeology. Also, it enables scholars to present their work, engage in discussion and motivate young scholars and archaeology students to pursue contemporary topics and present their research. This edition of the conference Proceedings contains twelve papers from the 8th and 9th MetArh conference which was held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb. The 8th MetArh conference was held from 3rd – 4th of December 2020, and the 9th from 2nd – 3rd of December 2021 (https://metarh.ffzg.unizg.hr/). Due to COVID-19, both conferences were held on the online platform Hopin.to. It was very challenging to organize and realize the conference in a virtual format but, most importantly, it produced high-quality works some of which are published in this publication. Papers in this volume are focused on diﬀerent aspects of archaeological methodology and archaeometry, including case studies from Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia and Ukraine.

“…In contrast, along the coast of Istria, the major changes triggered by Roman colonisation are already detectable from the end of the Roman Republic. From the middle of the 1st century BC, the founding of the Roman colonies Iulia Pola (today's Pula) and Iulia Parentium (today's Poreč) took place (Matijašić 2009, 146–147; Starac 1999, 125–133), being followed by the transformation of the rural area through centuriation (Bulić 2012; Marchiori 2010). Robert Matijašić (1998) lists more than 200 rural settlements for the agri of Pola and Parentium.…”

Our image of the Roman landscape of Istria is characterised by large‐scale centuriation and architectural remains of Roman villae. Detection and mapping of other, less dramatic landscape features require systematic large‐scale prospection, but this faces significant difficulties in the Mediterranean environment. However, the developments in the field of airborne laser scanning offer the possibility to create archaeologically usable digital terrain models under water and under very dense and low maquis vegetation. This paper reports on the use of terrain models created using a green laser and a sophisticated archaeologically driven ground point filtering strategy. Combined with archaeological aerial photo interpretation, this provides the means for landscape mapping and interpretation that has revealed a wealth of archaeological structures hinting at Roman agricultural practices and landscape. Our case study is based on a laser scan of about 24 km2 of land and underwater terrain in Medulin Bay. Processed, visualised and interpreted for archaeological purposes, the data reveal not only features ranging from prehistoric hilltop settlements to modern military installations but also features a complex picture of the Roman land use. Of particular interest is the large number of planting pits, which extend over a total length of 4 km. They were laid on a regular grid of approximately 35 × 35 m, sometimes combined in contiguous parcels. They can be interpreted as remains of orchards or tree nurseries of Roman date, and the paper examines also the question of whether they can be linked to the associated Roman estates. The case study area presented here shows that the potential of remote sensing methods goes far beyond the mere finding of traditional sites but can open up new landscape‐scale perspectives on regions that have been archaeologically little explored.
