“…In the past presence of imports impeded considerations that some sites in their regional contexts acted as loci of cultural interactions and redistribution of exotica (Nesactium, Osor, Vičja luka …) (Blečić Kavur 2015;Blečić Kavur & Kavur 2016;2017), the places of their origins and mechanisms of their redistribution remained in the narrative a cultural fantasy. Although previously mostly focusing on the Greek presence in the Adriatic in the recent years, observing the distribution of luxurious metal vessels, the importance of Macedonian production/trade was addressed several times (Blečić Kavur 2012;Blečić Kavur & Kavur 2010;2017. ).…”

Hail you who have suffered what you had never suffered before. You became a god instead of a mortal. Gold leaf from Thurii, Southern Italy (Early or mid-fourth century BC) New interpretations, promoting concepts of entanglement, acceptance and rejections, enabled modern understanding of specific items of Mediterranean material culture in prehistoric Iron Age contexts. They enriched our understanding of the intercultural character of the world in the 4 th century BC. Valuable as vessels of exclusively symbolic significance rhyta will be discussed presenting their typological and stylistic determination and proposing their most probable place of production.Iconographically, the rhyta were mostly interpreted as an essential ritual vessel, as the symbol of the continuity of life celebrated on festivities. It became therefore accepted that rhyta as symbols and attributes of Dionysus as well as of heroes and heroized ancestors, were the reception of the unification of death and divine. On the territory of the Eastern Adriatic and it's hinterland we have detailed knowledge about only two contexts of discoveries -of rhyta from Stična and Jezerine. Further, we can ascribe to burials the rhyta from Tujan and Nesactium, while the finds from Valtida, Trogir and Palagruža should be considered as elements of the banquet service used during specific ceremonies in settlements or on specific ritual grounds. Their use was based on an existent ideology embedded within the societies, which had the communal feasting ritual at its core, an ideology susceptible to symbols coming from Mediterranean production centres. Focusing on rhyta as symbols of Mediterranean imports, our archaeological interpretations will become more culturally sensitive and anthropologically relevant by focusing on culture contact and redistribution of material culture.

[Kvarner v času železne dobe severnega Jadrana] V starejši železni dobi severnega Jadrana je poleg Istre imel posebno mesto tudi Kvarner. Njegovo vlogo in pomen v komunikacijah in kroženju blaga v tistem času nakazujejo starejše in novejše raziskave. čeprav so se v zadnjih dveh desetletjih izvajale predvsem zaščitne arheološke raziskave, je bilo poleg posameznih najdb zbrano veliko novega gradiva, nekaj tudi povsem nepričakovanega. V članku je predstavljen kratek pregled raziskovalcev in stanja raziskav, opisane so reprezentativne ostaline materialne kulture ter pomembnejše najno- vejše najdbe, ki omogočajo obravnavo kvarnerske skupnosti v novi luči, zlasti v konkretnejši povezavi s sosednjimi, a tudi oddaljenimi kulturnimi skupnostmi od Alp do Jadrana in od Apeninov do Balkana.
