Cílem studie je představení post-exkavační metody práce se stratigrafickými a keramickými daty za účelem vytvoření relativní chronologie mnohovrstevnaté městské lokality na základě rozfázovaného sekvenčního modelu. K interakci mezi stratigrafickými a keramickými daty jsou využity exploatorní a vícerozměrové (multivariační) statistické metody seriace, korespondenční a faktorové analýzy. Příkladová studie vychází z výzkumu nádvoří městské radnice v Českých Budějovicích, který proběhl v letech 1996–1997, jehož výsledky byly v nedávné době vyhodnoceny a publikovány. Shrnuty jsou zde hlavní vývojové fáze osídlení od počátků založení města v roce 1265 do výstavby renesanční radnice v polovině 16. století a k nim odpovídající statisticky vyčleněné keramické horizonty. V článku jsou rovněž nastíněny možnosti dynamické interpretace rozfázovaného sekvenčního Harrisova diagramu v souvislosti se sociálními a behaviorálními přístupy ke studiu archeologických stratifikací, které ukazují na řadu druhů lidských aktivit v zastavěném městském prostředí.

Na k. ú. obce Hrádečná (okr. Chomutov, Ústecký kraj) byl při amatérském detektorovém průzkumu v roce 2003 objeven hromadný nález výzbroje a výstroje z doby římské čítající celkem 21 železných předmětů a vážící 2,3 kg. Součást výzbroje tvoří meč a 11 hrotů kopí/oštěpů; výstroj je zastoupena elementy několika štítů (4 puklice, 5 držadel). Na základě typologicko-chronologické analýzy lze předměty datovat rámcovým rozpětím stupňů B1–C1. Charakteristickým rysem souboru je jeho intencionální zničení. Nález umístěný mimo sídelní a funerální areály představuje ojedinělý doklad lidské aktivity v době římské v centrální části Krušných hor. Přes nejisté nálezové okolnosti lze klást soubor do souvislostí s rituálním chováním a interpretovat jej jako ireverzibilní depot uložený někdy na přelomu starší a mladší doby římské z votivních důvodů.

A pattern-welded knife dated to the 13th century was found during an archaeological excavation conducted on the site of Kobilić 1 in 2010. Nowadays, pattern-welded knives are very popular due to their decorative appearance and supposedly excellent mechanical properties. This paper introduces some new experimental results gained during the manufacturing of a copy of the medieval pattern-welded knife using historical techniques. During this experimental work some new practical observations were taken in general about smelting and processing bloomery iron and concerning the decorative effect of phosphoric-iron used in pattern-welding.

The paper presents the results of the first stage of experimental research on reconstruction of the bloomery process in the slag-pit furnace of the Tarchalice type. The phenomenon of bloomery furnaces from the Przeworsk culture settlement in Tarchalice (Tarxdorf), Lower Silesia, Poland, has been known to the scientific community since 1903. With regard to ancient slag-pit furnaces discovered in the second half of the twentieth century in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains and Mazovia region, these features had two-times larger diameter of slag-pits and almost four-times greater weight of slag blocks. The large sizes of the slag-pits suggested dissimilarity of conditions of running the process, formation of iron bloom and block of slag in relation to quite well known from scientific experiments the bloomery process from the Świętokrzyskie Mountains.

A fully preserved 14th-century AD bloomery furnace was excavated in 2014 on the settlement of Kolesovka-4 (Russia, Tula district). This extraordinary find has been taken as a model for experimental work. The iron ore used came from the Loknya River, a metallurgical conglomerate used came from the archaeological site of Staraya Ryazan. The most successful result was achieved by using the conglomerate from Staraya Ryazan – three pieces of blooms were made, weighing about 1 kg, and consisting of soft iron and a large number of very coarse slag inclusions. These show a similar trace-element composition as the medieval bloom comingfrom the same site. Experiments conducted have shown that the bloomery furnace uncovered at the Kolesovka-4 settlement is a rational pyrotechnological construction, allowing for a large number of smelting cycles.

The article presents the metallographic examination of three sabres and one double-edged sword coming from the 7th–8th century Slavic-Avar site of Želovce (Slovakia). All four weapons had been subjected to metallography as early as 1975, but the results were not published in sufficient detail. With this article, written in honour of Radomír Pleiner, the authors wish to repay this debt. The blades are compared with other (metallographically examined) weapons from Želovce, and the manufacturing methods of early medieval production of sabres are discussed.

In this paper a collection of iron objects from the Anatolian Seljuks Period, ca. 12th–13th century AD, are analysed and discussed from a metallurgical perspective. A total number of 21 iron-steel objects, small knives and flat bodied (with thin cross-section) arrowheads was examined. These objects are coming from the Seljuks’ cultural layers of Eğirdir (Isparta, Central Anatolian Caravanserai), Kubad Abad (Konya, Central Anatolian Sultan’s Palace Complex), and Samsat (Adıyaman, Eastern Anatolian Fortress). In the samples which were taken from iron tools, composite-like structures formed by different ferrous phases were revealed by metallography, SEM-EDX and micro hardness examinations. These structures are classified according to the production materials and techniques. The first group revealed signs of continuous forging and, in some cases, bloomery iron folding, which can lead to such composite-like structures. The second group consisted of tools which were produced from different starting materials which were forge-welded before or during shaping process. The crucible steel knives can be classified as another group, in which the composite-like structure exhibits totally different constituents leading to more homogeneous mechanical character. In modern times, composite materials have gained importance and become key engineering materials due to their outstanding specific properties. This study reveals that skilled Seljuks’ blacksmiths made similar materials design choices in the production of iron or steel objects, despite limited materials and metallurgical knowledge.
本文从冶金学的角度对公元12 - 13世纪安纳托利亚塞尔柱时期的一批铁器进行了分析和讨论。共检查了21个钢铁物体、小刀具和扁体(横截面薄)箭头。这些物品来自塞尔柱人的文化层Eğirdir (Isparta,安纳托利亚中部的Caravanserai), Kubad Abad (Konya,安纳托利亚中部的苏丹宫殿建筑群)和Samsat (Adıyaman,安纳托利亚东部的堡垒)。通过金相分析、SEM-EDX和显微硬度测试,发现铁制工具试样中不同铁相形成的复合组织。这些结构根据生产材料和工艺进行分类。第一组发现了连续锻造的迹象,在某些情况下,有bloomery铁折叠的迹象,这可以导致这种复合结构。第二组由不同的起始材料制成的工具组成,这些工具在成形之前或成形过程中进行锻造焊接。坩埚钢刀具可归类为另一类,其复合材料状组织具有完全不同的成分,从而具有更均匀的力学特性。在现代,复合材料因其突出的特殊性能而日益受到重视,成为关键的工程材料。这项研究表明,尽管材料和冶金知识有限,熟练的塞尔柱铁匠在生产铁或钢物体时也做出了类似的材料设计选择。

Archaeometallographic data suggest that there were two technological models in Eastern Europe as early as the Bronze Age–Early Iron Age transition period (9th–7th centuries BC). We link their development to two routes via which knowledge of use of ferrous metals diffused from Anatolia. The first route reached the North Caucasus, the second route passed through Greece and the Balkans to Central and Eastern Europe.
