With 32 contributions, grouped into six chapters, authored by 54 scholars from over 15 countries, the book brings together latest discoveries and exciting research results from across Europe. It spans topics like the origins and spread of Bell Beakers, their social and ideological dimensions, regional identities, ritual and economic practices, mobility and migrations, and the far-reaching impact of ancient DNA. Being part 1 of a two-part international conference project, the book offers a fresh synthesis of how Beaker groups connected distant regions and so shaped the cultural landscapes of the western half of the European continent.

Eva Tonkova,Pottery with West Slope decoration from present-day Bulgaria (Dissertationes, volume 22) /Керамика с украса в стил West Slope от територията на България (Дисертации, Том 22)Sofia 2025ISBN 978-619-245-577-4408 S./pp., S/W-Abb./b/w-figs., Tafeln/plates, 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverbulgarisch mit ausführlicher Zusammenfassung in englischbulgarian with extended summary in english The study is dedicated to a specific ceramic category from the Hellenistic Period, which was widely distributed throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and became one of the criteria for evaluating the scale and the extent of the “Hellenization” of vast cultural spaces and ethnic communities, from the western reaches of Ancient Greece to the Levant and the Middle East. The content of this book focuses on the pottery with West Slope decoration discovered within the territory of present-day Bulgaria and dated in the last quarter of 4th – the late 1st c. BC – a collection of artifacts from diverse archaeological contexts (settlements, burials, sanctuaries), but also from different cultural and geographic regions, such as the Greek cities in the Pontic region or the interior of Ancient Thrace. Chapter 1 discusses the decoration styles that occur within the collection from Bulgaria (Attic/imitational Attic style, Early Anatolian style, Late Anatolian style, the style of the Macedonian workshops). They represent different periods of the development of the West Slope ware and show different distribution patterns. For number of vases a regional Black Sea provenance is suggested and some of them could be identified as local products. The second chapter is dedicated to the Formal and Typological analysis of the finds. It discusses the shapes attested within present-day Bulgaria, arranged according to their function and chronology – from various types of kantharoi and other drinking vessels to askoi and unguentaria. Chapter ІІІ is dedicated to the analysis of the distribution of the ceramic category under consideration in Bulgaria. In the beginning, a short overview of the contexts of the finds is provided, and at the end of the part, there are some summarizing observations. The conclusion summarizes the results that the West Slope ceramics initially followed Classical traditions, especially in kantharoi, amphorae, and kraters for wine consumption, while local modifications persisted alongside new Hellenistic forms. The repertoire evolved under Athenian, Anatolian, and Macedonian influences, creating a largely uniform Pontic style that combined imported trends with local innovations. Distribution patterns reveal two cultural spheres: coastal settlements with a full tableware set, and the Thracian interior, where consumption was largely limited to cups. History of research I.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num colour and b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcover slowenisch (S. 1 - 176) und deutsch (S. 177 - 234) Das Buch „Zwischen Venedig und Wien“ von Salvator Žitek und Brigitte Mader enthüllt eine lange verborgene Geschichte über das Schicksal des kulturellen Erbes Istriens und der Küste während der Evakuierungen in Kriegszeiten und der politischen Umsiedlungen nach dem Krieg und wirft wichtige Fragen zum Denkmalschutz und zur gemeinsamen Verantwortung im heutigen Europa auf. In der Studie „Zwischen Venedig und Wien“, die das Ergebnis ihrer langjährigen Forschung auf dem Gebiet des Kulturerbeschutzes im Gebiet der ehemaligen österreichischen Küste, später der Julischen Alpen und heute insbesondere Istriens mit seinem nahen Hinterland ist, befassen sich die Autoren mit Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Haltung der jeweiligen Regierungsstrukturen gegenüber beweglichem Kulturgut, aber auch mit den Massenevakuierungen zwischen 1940 und 1944 von wertvollen Kunstwerken, archäologischem Material, Archiven und individuellen Büchersammlungen, insbesondere aus Koper und Piran, die nach 1945 und 1954, als sich die politischen Grenzen änderten, auf italienischem Boden verblieben und Gegenstand zwischenstaatlicher Verhandlungen und Restitutionsforderungen wurden. Aufgrund der noch immer ungelösten Probleme und der unterschiedlichen Ansichten von Fachkreisen beiderseits der ehemaligen Grenze ist die Monographie äußerst aktuell und wichtig für einen umfassenderen Einblick in diese Thematik, auch für die breite Öffentlichkeit und verantwortliche Kreise, da sie zu einer nachdenklichen Reflexion im Kontext gemeinsamer Anstrengungen und der Pflege von Werten im Rahmen der heutigen Europäischen Union anregt.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 24,5 x 18 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverrumänisch mit ausführlicher deutscher Zusammenfassung /romanian with extended german summaryDas Buch ist eine Weiterführung der Forschungen des Autors zur Institution der Proxenie im Schwarzmeerraum und weitet den Blick auf die Frage nach der Rolle von Wohltätern im Leben pontischer griechischer Städte. Gestützt auf eine umfassende epigraphische Dokumentation und einen konsequent angewendeten vergleichenden Ansatz, wirft der Band ein neues Licht darauf, wie wohltätige Handlungen – und deren öffentliche Ehrung – den sozialen Zusammenhalt und die Stabilität dieser antiken Gemeinschaften förderten. Das Werk richtet sich gleichermaßen an Fachleute wie an ein breiteres Publikum, das sich für die Ursprünge des europäischen Bürgersinns interessiert. Es bietet eine tiefgehende Reflexion über gemeinnütziges Engagement in der Antike und unterstreicht dessen anhaltende Bedeutung für heutige Debatten um gesellschaftliche Verantwortung.

Igor Borzić – Anamarija Eterović Borzić – Dinko Radić,Kopila. Grad mrtvih nad poljem Života / The city of the dead above the field of lifeSplit 2025ISBN 978-953-7633-53-0  96 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour figs., 27,5 x 21,5 cm; broschiert/softcover zweisprachig kroatisch - englisch / bilingual croatian - english An extraordinary collection of Hellenistic pottery has been discovered at the prehistoric necropolis of Kopila – vessels carefully placed alongside the deceased, always in the same positions, almost identical in shape and decoration. Guttoi. Skyphoi. Kantharoi. Repeated from grave to grave – like a ritual, like a vow, like a bridge. These vessels are not mere archaeological artefacts. They are objects of passage, soul guardians, silent witnesses to the belief that death is not the end. The pottery from Kopila speaks of an organised funerary system, of a community with clearly defined rituals and spiritual beliefs that transcend time and space. In its silence echoes a question for today’s observer: if we could carry something with us – one object, one thought, one value – what would it be?

Farbabb./num. colour figs., 27 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverDie prähistorische Hüttensiedlung auf Dugiš in Otok bei Sinj wurde 1955–1956 vom Archäologischen Museum in Split untersucht. Es ist die einzige Hüttensiedlung in ganz Dalmatien, die bisher untersucht wurde. Dem gesammelten archäologischen Material zufolge weist dieser Standort eine Kontinuität des Lebens von der mittleren Bronzezeit (1700–1300 v. Chr.) bis in die Antike auf, wie Münzbeispiele aus dem 1.–5. Jahrhundert n. Chr. belegen. Das Hauptziel dieser Ausstellung ist es, der Öffentlichkeit eine sehr spezifische und bisher wenig bekannte Siedlungsform aus prähistorischer Zeit vorzustellen, nämlich die Hüttensiedlung, und zwar anhand eines Teils des ursprünglichen materiellen Erbes von der mittleren Bronzezeit bis zur frühen Eisenzeit. Die Ausstellung präsentiert zahlreiche Objekte aus Metall, Keramik, Knochen und Stein, die an verschiedene wirtschaftliche und soziale Aktivitäten im genannten Zeitraum erinnern. Neben den Originalen zeigt die Ausstellung 18 Kopien von Gefäßen, die nach 18 originalen Keramikobjekten von diesem Standort angefertigt wurden.
