Full textAbstract:
Name stamps occasionally appear on early Roman Period bow brooches, such as Aucissa brooches, Nertomarus brooches, brooches with side knobs (Scharnierflügelfibeln), and rosette brooches (Kragenfibeln, Distelfibeln, Flache Distelfibeln). Aucissa brooches are known from the territory of the whole Roman Empire and were produced in multiple workshops, while the other types were typical of the western parts, having been manufactured primarily in the western provinces. According to current research, the 55 bow brooches from Győr-Ménfőcsanak-Széles-földek belong to different western types. The only stamped brooch is a fragmentary Nertomarus brooch with an abbreviated NERTOMARVS stamp (NORV). This brooch could reach Pannonia from the place of production in different ways. One option is that the brooch travelled with its owner, a military person, or someone who accompanied the troops.

This paper presents a review of the brooches from the cemetery of Opushki located in the central area of the Crimean foothills. The cemetery was used from the first century BC to the fourth century AD by peoples of various archaeological cultures. 72 of 318 graves excavated there contained brooches. The total number of complete and fragmented brooches discovered there is 190. The largest group comprises one-piece bow-shaped brooches with returned foot and the brooches with flattened catch-plate from the first to the first half of the third century AD. There is a series of brooches made in the Roman Empire, with the most numerous group of plate brooches. There are a few violin-bow-shaped brooches, highly-profiled brooches of the Northern Black Sea type, two-piece violin-bow-shaped brooches with returned foot, and brooches with curved arched bow (P-shaped): great many pieces of these types occurred at other sites from the Roman Period in the Crimean foothill area. In Opushki, brooches appeared in all types of burial constructions, and mostly in the Late Scythian vaults from the first century BC to the second century AD. They accompanied graves of women, men, and children. In the overwhelming majority of cases, one burial was accompanied with one and rarely two brooches; there is only one burial of a child with three clasps. Most often brooches occurred at the chest, in rare cases on the shoulder, near the cervical vertebrae, pelvic bones, or outside the skeleton. It is noteworthy that a great number of brooches was found in the burials of children of different ages, from 1- to 8-12-year-old. Apparently, brooches as a part of the child’s costume were used throughout the child’s life from the very infancy. Generally, the brooch types from the cemetery of Opushki, their distribution in the assemblages and location on the skeletons correspond to the general pattern typical of barbarian cemeteries in the Crimean foothill area dated to the Roman Period.

Full textAbstract:
Medieval ring brooches from Denmark – Typology, dating and use Ring brooches are one of the most common types of jewellery from the Middle Ages. They consist of a closed frame with a fixed pin (fig. 1). The metal detector activity of recent years has increased the number of these brooches. They have not previously been dealt with separately in Denmark. This article is based on the collection and typological classification of 215 ring brooches from present-day Denmark. These brooches can be classified into seven types with 23 sub-types (fig. 2). Nine of the brooches have no Danish parallel. The frames are most often circular, but their form varies. The circular brooches (types 1-3) are the most common. They make up 83% of the Danish brooches, whereas other frame shapes are less common (fig. 3). The use of ring brooches arose simultaneously with the Byzantine fashion of dress from the 12th century. The fashion dictated long coats or kirtles for both sexes (fig. 4). The neck opening of the kirtles was equipped with a slit which was fastened with a ring brooch (fig. 5); the brooches were also used to fasten cloaks. The ring brooches can be dated to a period extending from the 12th century until some time in the 15th century. In the beginning, functionality had priority, but later ring brooches appeared which were solely for decoration or were used to attach other items to the clothing. Dating of the individual types is based on stylistic and archaeological criteria together with numismatic dates from hoards. The latter two dating methods in particular provide a narrower dating framework for some of the types; this applies to, for example, types 3 and 4.1 (fig. 8). The earliest example in Scandinavian art of the use of ring brooches is from around AD 1200 (fig. 15), whereas there are archaeological finds from Denmark from the second half of the 12th century. Fig. 8 provides an overview of Danish and foreign dates for the ring brooch types. Types 1 and 2 both occur in the 12th century, whereas the other types appear from the 13th century. Some of the types are seen across large parts of Europe. This applies, for example, to types 1.1, 1.3, 2.1 and 2.6. Others have a more limited geographical distribution, which reflects cultural and trade-related links. This applies to types 1.4, 2.5 and 3. Some brooches are unique to Denmark but all have parallels in other countries. This underlines the fact that there are, by and large, no unique brooches, but that they all have a greater or smaller distribution (figs. 12 and 13). The ring brooches are often made from various types of copper alloy, while precious metals are more rarely used (fig. 14). They occur in a series of social contexts and this underlines the applicability of this type of jewellery. Most of the types occur as precious metal as well as alloy, and the same decorative elements are seen on brooches of very different quality (figs. 7 and 10). Ring brooches were worn by both men and women and probably also by children. Their size can give an indication of who wore them and how. The visual arts are a good source in this respect (fig. 5). Other sources include wills and, in rare cases, inscriptions on the brooches themselves, revealing the sex of the person who wore them. The greatest diameter of the ring brooches lies typically between 20 and 29 mm. A group comprising 12 brooches differs in this respect, having a diameter of between 13 and 19 mm, and eight medium- sized brooches have a diameter of between 50 and 59 mm. A group comprising 10 brooches has diameters of between 60 and 96 mm. These large brooches were probably cloak-fasteners. Medieval jewellery was often associated with great symbolism. This could be through the material from which they were made, in the form of metal and precious or semi-precious stones which was ascribed special significance. The symbolic value becomes clearest through the many inscriptions of a religious or amorous nature (fig. 9). Ring brooches were, like finger rings, a symbol of fidelity and love, and their function as a fastener for a cloak became, in a figurative sense, a picture of chastity.

Heart-shaped brooches from modern timesDress accessories from modern times are only sparsely described in the Danish literature on the costume practices of the peasant population. The recent widespread use of metal detectors has yielded many finds which demonstrate that these dress accessories were found all across Denmark. Some types stand out as being particularly recognisable, and one of these comprises heart-shaped brooches typically decorated with a crown and birds. This article is based on ten such brooches in the collection of the Museums of Southwest Jutland, nine of which were found in the soil (fig. 1), but these will be comparable with brooches in many other museum collections across Denmark (fig. 7).Despite the fact that these ornaments have not left any particular traces in written or pictorial sources, they were very common. They were widespread across the entire country, even though the extant Danish literature on the subject is linked to particular geographical areas (fig. 6).The ornament type itself has a long history, and the Danish term særkespænde – shift brooch – refers to an original use in fastening the neck slit of a shift, the function originally performed by these brooches in the costumes of the High Middle Ages, (fig. 2).The heart as a motif on ring brooches and other ornaments is rooted in the Middle Ages and the Catholic symbolism, where the heart can symbolise both spiritual and worldly love, is associated with the worship of Christ (fig. 3).It is difficult to find a link between these medieval heart-shaped ring brooches and the heart-shaped brooches of post-Medieval times. The earliest dated Danish example is the silver brooch in the Horsens hoard dating from the middle of the 17th century (fig. 8), but there are no secure written or pictorial sources referring to such early use of these brooches in Denmark. Conversely, there are 17th century parallels in the published material from other countries (fig. 4).The brooches were used as lover’s gifts in Northern Germany, Norway and Sweden and occur in numerous variations and with various kinds of pendants and decoration, but always with the heart as the central motif (figs. 4 and 5). The brooches possibly had an original function innermost in the clothing as shift brooches, but at some time in the 18th – 19th century they began to be worn visibly as ornaments on the chest together with a scarf. Concurrent with this, they developed to become larger and more showy, as they were now worn where they could be seen (figs. 9, 10 and 11).The brooches could perhaps have had other functions and there are great differences in the size and quality of the examples that have been found and/or published. There are some reports that heart-shaped brooches were used in connection with children’s clothing/head attire in Norway.There were brooches for every taste, extravagant or simple, and some examples were intended for practical use, whereas others were exclusively for decoration. There was also something for every purse – some people could afford finer lover’s gifts than others. Mette Højmark SøvsøSydvestjyske Museer

Full textAbstract:
Based on the study of 1,859 metal-detected brooches recovered at different sites in the Limfjord region, this paper discusses patterns of production, distribution, use, and deposition of brooches. Widespread indications of non-ferrous metalwork and a modest number of models for brooch production suggest that brooches were produced at many settlements in the region during the period studied (AD 400–1150), and traces of technical change and varying distribution patterns in the finished brooches suggest temporally as well as spatially differing modes of production. Furthermore, analyses suggests that most brooches were intact when they entered the soil, and seemingly random distribution patterns likely reflect the fact that many, perhaps most, were simply accidentally dropped. However, over and above, the interpretational difficulties are consequent on the recovery of all of the metal-detector finds in the plough layer detached from their original context. The interpretation of distribution patterns is at most sites also markedly challenged by the fact that many brooches, along with other metal artefacts, appear to having been secondarily deposited in the fields surrounding the settlements, probably during the manuring of the fields.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1500s the distinctive turreted brooches of Lochbuie, Lorn and Ugadale were produced for the Argyll families Maclaine, MacDougall and Mackay. Unusual in style by comparison with other brooches of the time, they are stylistically similar as a group. Around 1730 an inscription was added to the Lochbuie brooch stating that it was made by a ‘Tinker’. This paper examines the style, skills, materials and techniques involved in itinerant silversmithing in order to evaluate the claim that the three brooches were made by ‘Tinkers’, otherwise known as Nacken. Drawing on elements of art historical, ethnographic and archaeological research, the paper challenges existing assumptions about itinerant silversmithing.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the research of two types of brooches from the Ostriv burial ground in Porossia (Middle Dnipro River region). The morphological characteristics of the objects, the type and chronological attribution and the accompanying archaeological context are considered. In general, seven penannular brooches with connected star-shaped terminals and four ring brooches with ribbed bows were discovered during the first seven years of research at the Ostriv burial ground. All the brooches were recorded in female burials, except two items found in the cultural layer and one brooch with a controversial archaeological context. Together, they make up 23 % of all the clasps found at the territory of the cemetery or 27 % of the brooches discovered in the burial complexes of the necropolis. These types of ancient pins now make up 52 % of women’s burials with brooches. Penannular brooches with connected star-shaped terminals can be divided into two subtypes — larger ones with seven transverse ribs and surface coating with white metal, and slightly smaller ones with six ribs. The damaged brooch from the burial no. 100 stands out for its massiveness and could contain eight or nine decorative ribs, but the item is fragmented, which does not allow clarifying its specific features. Brooches with ribbed bows can also be divided into two subtypes: two items are larger and have twelve decorative ribs on their surface, and two more specimens are slightly smaller and contain seven transverse ribs on the front side. Among the latter two variants can be distinguished — with a concave semicircular and a simple semicircular section of the case. Significantly, the penannular brooch with connected star-shaped terminals and the brooch with ribbed bows with a surface coating of white metal were found in rich burials with neck-rings of the Totenkrone type. Therefore, it is possible to emphasise the probable connection between the objects, the production of which was more time-consuming, with the social position of the deceased during their lifetime, and probably with the chronological factor. Furthermore, only these two types of fibulae among all the categories of jewellery and clothing elements discovered at this necropolis now reliably testify to the long-term habitation and high-quality repair of the objects. In addition, the general features of the repair do not differ from technological receptions within the mother regions of migrants. In conclusion, penannular brooches with connected star-shaped terminals and brooches with ribbed bows had been widespread in the Baltic region during the 11th—12th centuries. However, they were most typical for the population of the South-East Baltic, the medieval Prussians, from whose area they spread among other Baltic, Finnish and Scandinavian people due to trade connections and/or resettlement of groups or individuals within the region (migration of warriors, marriages, etc.). Finally, these types of brooches in the absolute majority of cases are found in the burials of men, mainly in two-tiered cremation burials with a horse and weapons in burial complexes on the territory of the Sambi Peninsula and its adjacent territories. Sometimes such items occur in women’s and children’s burials outside the Prussian area, but they are still more numerous in men’s complexes. Such a contrast of the Ostriv burial ground with synchronous Baltic burial sites seems very interesting, however, conducting a detailed comparative study of the costumes of representatives of the Baltic enclave in Porossia and the female population of the Sambia Peninsula is extremely problematic. The reason is almost absent separated women burials of the 8—13th centuries in the range of the Prussians, because of their dependent social position in this tribe. Thus, it is still impossible to establish whether the materials of the Ostriv burial ground reflect (at least partially) the traditions of medieval Prussian women’s clothing, or whether the composition of the costume underwent significant changes due to migration. The location of these types of brooches in burial complexes in most cases indicates their direct use in a costume to fasten outer clothing — woollen cloaks or capes. However, other provisions are also recorded, which may be related to this population’s peculiarities of burial practices.

Full textAbstract:
On the basis of selected types of supra-regional brooches (A.65, Nauheim, Schüsselfibeln, A.18), an attempt was made to check whether they appeared in the eastern part of Germania in the same chronological rhythm as in their home zones. The service life of A.65 brooch and post-oppidial forms A.18 north of the Carpathians corresponds to the chronology in the primary distribution zone, no significant differences can be seen. Another picture – obtained, however, from a small number of finds – is drawn for Nauheim type brooches, which seem to remain in use a little longer in the zone between the Carpathian Mountains and the Baltic coast, until the younger stage of the LT D2 phase. Similarly, bowl-shaped brooches (Schüsselfibeln), probably made mostly in local workshops, were worn in the north for several decades longer than in the zone south of the Carpathian Mountains. In Pomerania they came into use probably slightly earlier than in the area of Przeworsk culture and probably went out of fashion a little faster. This indicates a slightly different rhythm of stylistic and fashion changes between southern and central Poland (Przeworsk culture) and the north – the region of the lower Vistula and the Gulf of Gdańsk.

Introduction. The article is devoted to characterizing the decorative features of the fibulabrooch discovered during the study of the mound in the northern surrounding areas of Cherkessk (territory of the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia) and stored in the collection of the Stavropol State Museum. The aim of the publication is to introduce the poorly known scientific material into scientific use. A full set of illustrations and accurate measurements will further avoid confusion with the description of the specific artifact (in existing publications there are no drawings; conclusions are based only on photos). Explanations relate to the history of the brooch and details of its decoration. Methods. The comparative typological method is used as a working one. It is based on the classification by material, processing method, form, ornamentation, as well as identifying and studying types of brooches with pendants. The comparative analysis of the decor of the brooch from the Stavropol museum and similar brooches with pendants found in the western part of the North Caucasus shows the variety of polychrome decoration production technologies in the region in the 3rd – 1st centuries BC: preserving the traditions of Bosporan jewelry art; distribution of the elements of Colchian toreutics. Analysis. The paper considers design features of brooches from the Stavropol museum and monuments of the Western Ciscaucasia: details of zoomorphic figurines; characteristics of caste design; wire inlay; form and features of enamel inserts; character of pendant weaving and features of the design of suspended discs. Results. In the production of hollow zoomorphic images of the 3rd – 1st century BC there were two lines of development: 1) simplified modeling of figurines modeled on the pattern of Colchian products of the 5th – 4th centuries BC (Psenafa and others); 2) continuation of the tradition of producing jewelry with enamel (brooch from the mound in the land of Rodina state farm). In the first case, the simplicity and negligence of execution evidence established local production of imitations of Colchian images. In the second case, elegance of images and refinement of execution emphasize the creation of brooches of Karachay-Cherkessia in one of the centers of Bosporus toreutics which was under the influence of Colchian jewelry.

Full textAbstract:
The various surviving disc and composite brooches provide proof of the skill and craftsmanship of Anglo-Saxon metalsmiths. Surprisingly, no one has conducted a full geometrical analysis of these brooches to discover the design process preceding the casting and decoration. This thesis endeavors to rectify this through a geometrical investigation of the sophisticated geometrical planning principles used by Anglo-Saxon craftsmen in the creation of these elaborate brooches. Through the use of simple geometrical constructions, smiths were able to create works of great beauty and sophistication. Closer inspection reveals that Anglo-Saxon smiths produced all the composite disc brooches in this study using similar processes of planning. In order to plan out the compositions of each brooch, master smiths would only need a compass, a straightedge, and some material on which to write. Each brooch reveals the same kind of coherent geometry, sharing traits and patterns; with proportions tend to be governed by a series of modular association.
Although the master smiths or designers of the composite brooches used simple tools to create the composition, the figures in this thesis were created using the Vectorworks CAD program. This significantly expedited the analytical process and allowed for exact measurements. Despite using the computer program to replicate the planning process, all the figures can be recreated with just a compass and straightedge. While a complete geometric study of all the composite disc brooches needs to be done, this study examines five of the best preserved and well-crafted of that type, ranging from some of the simplest to the most elaborate, as an introduction to the subject.

Full textAbstract:
There is much that is unknown concerning the creation of Viking age brooches. Recreating these brooches in the same way they would have been created in the Viking age to try to understand how they were created is a time consuming project for experimental archaeologists. This study has been done in order to find out if the time spent can be reduced and at the same time gain a better understanding of the creation of a Viking age brooch using 3D scanning and computer simulations. Casting simulations of a real Viking age brooch have been done using Magma5, a state of the art simulation software. Simulations were run with several different casting systems, initial metal and mould temperatures, and both with as well as without the brooches distal figurines attached. It was found that the initial metal and mould temperatures has got impact on the final result of the brooch, but the alloy and casting system has a much greater effect on the final result. The casting system that yielded the best result has the pouring basin directly above the medial part of the brooch and two sprues leading to gates on the north and south medial sides.Det är mycket som inte är känt om tillverkningen av vikingatida broscher. Att försöka återskapa dem på samma sätt som vikingarna antagligen skapat dem för att öka kunskapen kring broscherna är ett tidsödande jobb. Denna studie har gjorts för att ta reda på om den tiden kan reduceras och samtidigt öka kunskapen kring broscherna med hjälp av modern teknik som 3D skanning och datorsimuleringar. Gjutsimuleringar av ett äkta vikingatida spänne har skett i Magma5, ett kraftfullt simuleringsprogram. Simuleringar utfördes med hjälp av flera olika gjutsystem, stor variation i smältans och formens initiala temperaturer, och både med och utan broschens distal figuriner. Studien har funnit att smältans och formens temperaturer har påverkan på broschens slutresultat, men legeringen som används och gjutsystemet har betydligt större påverkan på slutresultatet. Gjutsystemet som gav bäst slutresultat har ett inlopp som är placerat direkt över mitten på den mediala delen, och sedan förgrenar sig i två delar och ansluter till den norra och södra delen av formkaviteten.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this thesis was to go beyond typology and consider the form, material, size and context of brooches in order to determine their meanings and functions to the Late Iron Age/early post-Conquest peoples of northern France. Apart from assembling a database of these ubiquitous objects, the objectives were: first, to standardize typological language and description in order to consider material and size; second, to ask broader questions about contexted finds from sanctuaries, funerary, rural sites and oppida. The evidence examined demonstrates that brooches were seldom stand-alone finds, as one would expect of lost or casually discarded objects. Rather, their deposition with other objects demonstrates their integration into ritualized practices that were more complex and varied than previously assumed. Moreover, the increase of ornamental types during La Tène D2 marks a distinct change from the homogeneity of earlier types; perhaps relating to the impact of increased competition, or need to promote co-operation, between the different family, household groups and social classes at that were increasingly intermingled at oppida, as well as sanctuaries. The transition from iron to copper alloy during this period matches the amplified interest in ornamental types, aided by the malleability of the material. However, this shift also parallels certain changes in iron production in the study area, echoing possible increased restriction of iron production during La Tène D2b/GR1. Beyond typology, brooches are a useful means of tracking changes in Late Iron Age social and ritual practice, as well as responses to conquest and increasing contact with the Roman world. By considering the chronological and contextual relationships of brooches this thesis examines how Late Iron Age and Early Roman societies in northern France reproduced themselves through material culture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the evidence for the earliest brooches in Britain. The first brooches were used and made in Britain in the Early Iron Age from c.450 BC. During this period, and into the Middle Iron Age, methods were devised for constructing brooches with mock springs and hinges. In tandem with these changes a greater variety of types came into use. Some are relatively widespread across Wales, England and into Scotland. Others are concentrated in central or western and eastern regions of England. Brooches were manufactured from both bronze and iron. Bronze brooches dominate in the earlier period but iron brooches are as common as bronze in the Middle Iron Age. Some bronze brooches are constructed with small elements of iron and vice versa. Other materials are also employed as decoration on the body of the brooch including coral and glass. A revised chronology and typology are proposed, drawing on both intrinsic attributes and external archaeological evidence. The evidence from burials shows brooches were used to clasp fabric. The fabric was probably a woollen cloak wrapped around the body as a shroud. The brooch was positioned so it was visible during the funerary process. Some brooches fastened bags and other small brooches were better suited as ornaments or badges. These have distinctive designs that would have made them recognisable, perhaps as objects belonging to a particular person and/or associating that person with a specific group. Brooches are also found at settlements, at hillforts and in rivers, as well as at sites with or deposits of a ritualised character. Aside from cemeteries these latter sites contain the highest numbers of brooches. The deposition of personal objects at these types of site may have asserted the individual’s connection to the community in a manner comparable to the burial of a person in a cemetery.

A close examination of spatial variability in the specified objects in an area between the Rhine/Danube and the Loire, stretching as far as Britannia in the west and Pannonia in the East. Initially a theoretical framework is set out in the context of the archaeological background. Each object type is then analysed in terms of form and decorative style and the occurrence of specific features is shown on distribution maps. Possible production areas can be suggested for different decorative styles. The distribution maps and studies of the range of variability in each category also provide information concerning the scale of manufacture and mechanisms of dispersal; in turn these relate to the level of demand and the changing function of the object. Patterns occurring are then compared to one another and interpreted in terms of their gender and status associations and their overall economic, social, political and cultural significance for the late Roman Western Empire. Links are established between different regions and it is possible to trace the movements of those travelling with the army. Many sites can be shown to have a significant foreign element, with clusters of associated objects which can be sourced to another area. Concentrations of finds along the frontier and in linear distributions in other areas give an indication of contemporary activity at adjacent sites, and shifts in the spatial patterning of objects during the fourth to fifth century transition period provides a fresh insight into the late Roman west and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to examine the modes of production and the sources of metal supply for Migration period bow brooches, concentrating on a single form, the Anglian cruciform brooch. The thesis is in two volumes; text and bibliography (volume 1), catalogues, tables, illustrations (volume 2). The text is in six chapters. Attitudes to artefact studies are briefly discussed in Chapter 1 and the techniques employed in this study are outlined. Chapter 2 places the cruciform brooch forms into a simple hierarchical typology by formal similarity. A relative chronology is gained by contextual evidence, with absolute dates given by associations with other artefact types. Similarities between early English and continental forms are shown to be adequate to suggest importation, during the first half of the fifth century. Frisian and north German brooches have a special place in this system. Parallel stylistic development persisted during the second half of the fifth century but sixth-century English brooches are well distinguished from their continental contemporaries. Simple brooch types are thought to have had a long period of production and use. By examining methods of casting and assembling cruciform brooches, Chapter 3 establishes the types and ranges of technical variation observable. Some of these technical attributes provide links between England, Frisia, northern Germany and Denmark. English brooch manufacture is diverse throughout the period under study. Norwegian metalworkers developped a very different style and the technical evidence suggests a movement towards standardisation and mass production. In Chapter 4 we discover the types of alloy used and discuss the likely sources. Initially the alloys used were leaded brasses or bronzes. By the sixth century, copper alloys were commonly very impure. It is suggested that recycling provided a major part of the raw materials for cast copper alloys. Imports of copper alloys from France or the Celtic regions of Britain are relegated to a position of minor importance. The chemical compositions of Norwegian, Frisian, north German and Dutch cruciform brooches demonstrates access to high-tin, high-purity bronzes prevailed throughout the period. Brasses and mixed alloys were also available, probably originating from scrap. With the exception of Frisia, which appears to be more similar to Kent, alloy supplies were similar throughout the Scandinavian and continental cruciform brooch production. Chapter 5 provides a synthesis for these findings. Plans are given for a project extension into other regions (Chapter 6).

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the methods of use of brooches by the population of two faraway regions of the Sarmatian culture: Crimean Piedmont and Great Hungarian Plain. The study focuses on the types of brooches, their amount and situation in the burials of different age-sex groups. We succeeded in determining common consistent patterns and special features in the use of brooches by the inhabitants of the two regions, where brooches of different constructive types were in fashion. In the course of the Roman Age, the predominant costume included one brooch that fastened humeral outwear, most probably, a jacket or a robe. Despite of the significant similarity in the traditions of applying the brooches, it is doubtful whether we can speak about direct contracts or mutual influences of the populations of the two distant regions, because this costume model dominated on the whole territory of the Sarmatian world.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the long lifespan of the cemetery, the pottery discovered in Żelazna Nowa is relatively diversified. Unfortunately, the majority of the graves have been partly damaged, and some have been completely destroyed. In many cases only grave bottoms were recorded, while the furnishings were scattered over a large area. Sometimes (e.g. in feature 56) one cannot be certain whether fragments of vessels uncovered in a grave pit indeed belonged to the burial urn. A few graves from the Younger Pre-Roman period were relatively well furnished in vessels, but the state of preservation rarely makes it possible to determine the actual number of vessels in particular graves. The same holds true with respect to Early Roman period pottery. Graves dated to this period often survived only in their bottom parts. Hand-made vessels prevail by far in the ceramic material. The only few wheel-made sherds were found in the cultural layer in the vicinity of the groove feature. Vessels used as burial urns were those representing Liana types II.2, II.3, and group III. The predominant vessel forms among Younger Pre-Roman period pottery were cups of Dąbrowska types I.2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, bowls II.13, and bulbous vessels. Roman period pottery is primarily represented by vessels of types II.2 and 3; group III; and small bowls of group VI.1 and 2. Some unique forms were identified as well, including a jug with a canal in feature 56 and a small bowl imitating glass vessels. A total of 490 small finds (including those from the modern period) were discovered in the cemetery. Due to severe damage to the cemetery, only some of them have been recovered from features (204), while 181 small finds have been found outside the context of features. Surface surveys were performed several times in the site, and these produced another 105 small finds, most of them found in the western and northern parts of the cemetery. With 54 items discovered, brooches prevail among the small finds. They include four Late La Tène brooches of type N, fragments of A.II or mixed A.II/IV brooches; A.III brooches; a significant number of A.IV brooches, including a few specimens of A.67 and A.68, trumpet brooches, and derivatives of strongly profiled brooches; brooches of series A.V, including A.96, A.120, and A.137; fragments of A.VI brooches; A.VII brooches; a fragment of a Gallic brooch of Rih’s variant 2.2.4; a brooch of Riha’s variant 5.17.5; and a Norico-Pannonian brooch of type A.236. Belt pieces included a clasp of type Kostrzewski 49, seven buckles (most of them of type D.1), two profiled group I variant 6 belt finials, and a set of belt fittings found inside the urn in grave 37, consisting of a buckle, a finial, and a ring. Ornaments are represented by fragments of a knotenring from feature 33, fragments of Kamieńczyk type bracelets and a bar bracelet, several appliques, among them a fragment of a silver plaque, and many fragments of melon beads and glass beads. Weapons are rare in the cemetery: surviving are primarily fragments of shield grips, rivets from shield bosses (fts. 6 and 7), complete spearheads (fts. 41, 48, stray find), and fragments of spearhead sockets (ft. 41, stray find). The finds included two sets of two spearheads each, found in graves, and uncontexted finds of a sword scabbard chape and a spur. Tools and objects of everyday use are relatively well-represented: 19 knives, 8 awls, 1 awl-like tool, 2 needles, 16 clay spindle-whorls, 2 whetstones, a polishing plate, iron fittings of the box, chest locks, fragments of key (?), a massive rim fitting, 2 fragments of combs, 2 fragments of dice, a fragment of an E.139–144 glass vessel, and an immense number of unidentified artefacts made of bronze and iron.

Full textAbstract:
Материальная культура корел, сложившаяся в XI–XIII вв., имеет неоднородное происхождение. Это отразилось и на женских нагрудных украшениях. Происхождение орнаментов одного из их типов, овально- выпуклых фибул, остается неясным. В данной статье рассматриваются фибулы с плетеным орнаментом и их стилистические особенности; привлекаются аналогии из финского и новгородского средневекового искусства — их вероятные прототипы. Для анализа фибул впервые использовался формально- стилистический метод. The material culture of Karelians had developed in the XI–XIII centuries, it had a heterogeneous origin. It can be seen in women’s finery. The origin of the ornaments of oval brooches, one of its parts, remains unclear. This article examines brooches with the knot-braided ornaments, their stylistic features, and draws on analogies from Finnish and Novgorod medieval art — the probable prototypes. For the first time, the formal- stylistic method was used to analyze oval brooches.

Full textAbstract:
В работе рассматривается погребение № 19/2015 некрополя Виноградный 7 на Таманском полуострове, датируемое на основании анализа погребального инвентаря не позднее первых десятилетий 1 в. до н. э. Специально рассматривается найденный в районе грудной клетки погребенной женщины в возрасте 45–50 лет серебряный медальон. В центре бляхи вытиснен в высоком рельефе бюст богини в калафе и покрывале с прижатой к груди правой рукой и вет кой с листом – в левой. По окружности – выполненные в более низком рельефе 10 знаков зодиака. Ближайшая параллель публикуемому медальону, хранившаяся до Великой Отечественной войны в Керченском музее, известна лишь по архивной фотографии. Медальоны с изображением бюста богини с прижатой к груди рукой относятся к типу, получившему распространение на Боспоре еще во 2 в. до н. э. Изображения бюста бо гини с листом в руке встречаются на брошах из Прикубанья и Юго-Западного Крыма 1–2 вв. н. э. Ближайшей параллелью оформлению бордюра медальона является украшение края серебряного фалара из окрестностей ст. Курчанской, на котором в центре представлено изображение скачущей на козле Афродиты и стоящего перед ней Герме са. С точки зрения крепления (двойная пронизь, припаянная на обороте для продевания шнура ожерелья), бляха находит аналогии на золотых медальонах с изображением бюста Афродиты и Эрота из Артюховского кургана. Знаки, изображенные по окружности вокруг бюста богини, являются знаками зодиака, среди которых легко узнаются изображения Рака, Близнецов, Девы, Рыб, Стрельца и Скорпиона. Обращает на себя внимание тот факт, что изображено не 12, а 10 знаков (отсутствуют знаки Водолея и Весов) и их расположение не соответствует принятому порядку знаков зодиака. Особого внимания в этой связи заслуживает терракотовый диск из Бриндизи, рассматриваемый как самое раннее изображение знаков зодиака в Южной Италии и Греции. Публикуемый медальон и диск из Бриндизи сближает не только то, что на них представлено не 12 знаков, а меньше, но и отсутствие знака Весов, близость оформления некоторых из них и тот факт, что отдельные знаки занимают не 30, а 60 градусов окружности, а также и то, что знаки расположены не в обычной последовательности. Серебряные медальоны, найденные на Боспоре, представляют одни из древнейших, если не древнейшие в античном искусстве изображения знаков зодиака. Вероятнее всего изображение их в виде ленты вокруг бюста богини в калафе с листом в руке, подчеркивает небесную ипостась богини, которую, скорее всего, следует рассматривать как Афродиту Уранию. Необходимо ли рассматривать необычное количество знаков и их порядок как отображение индивидуального гороскопа – вопрос, требующий дальнейшего исследования, хотя тот факт, что аналогичный порядок присутствует на двух известных нам медальонах, как будто бы, должен свидетельствовать против такой атрибуции. Изучение погребального инвентаря данного погребения подтверждает предлагаемую интерпретацию изображения именно как Афродиту Уранию. Анализ инвентаря погребения с учетом месторасположения данного погребального сооружения вну три некрополя позволяет поставить вопрос о выделении отдельного участка жителей поселения, объединенных родственными связями и/или религиозными воззрениями, связанными с почитанием Афродиты Урании. The paper is devoted to burial no. 19/2015 of Vinogradnyi 7 necropolis in the Taman peninsula. Its contents allow to attribute it to the time not later than the first decades of the 1st century BC. A special attention attracts a silver medallion, which was found upon the body of a woman aged 45–50. In the center of the plaque there is a bust of a goddess in calathus. Her veil is pressed to the chest with her right hand, in her left she holds a branch with a leaf, embossed in a high relief. Along the border 10 signs of the Zodiac are arranged executed in a lower relief. The closest parallel to the medallion is a piece in the Kerch Museum, which disappeared during the World War II. Only its photograph is available. The medallions depicting the bust of the goddess, her hand pressed to her chest belong to the well-known type popular the Bosporan kingdom as early as the 2nd century BC. Images of the goddess holding a leaf are found on brooches from the Kuban region and South-Western Crimea of the 1st–2nd centuries AD. The closest parallel to the pattern decorating the border is a silver phalera from the vicinity of Cossack village Kurchanskaya. In the centre it has the image of Aphrodite galloping on a goat and of Hermes standing in front of her. The medallion under discussion has a double loop soldered to the rear. This construction feature finds parallels on gold medallions with busts of Aphrodite and Eros from the Artyukhov burial mound. The signs arranged around the bust of the goddess are the signs of the Zodiac, among them symbols of Cancer, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius and Scorpio are easily recognizable. Noteworthy, that there are 10, not 12 signs. Their arrangement does not correspond to the usual order of the signs of the Zodiac. The terracotta disc from Brindisi, regarded as the earliest depiction of the Zodiac signs in South Italy and Greece, deserves special attention in this regard. The medallion from the Taman peninsula and the disc from Brindisi have much in common. Both not only display less than 12 signs, both do not contain the Libra sign, some of the signs occupy not 30, but 60 degrees of the circumference, the signs are arranged not in the usual sequence. Silver medallions found in the Cimmerian Bosporos represent one of the oldest, if not the oldest, images of the signs of the Zodiac in ancient Greek art. Most likely, being arranged around the bust of the goddess in calathus with a leaf in her hand, they express the heavenly hypostasis of the goddess, most likely Aphrodite Urania. Whether the unusual number of signs and their order was a reflection of someone’s individual horoscope is problematic. The fact that we know at least two images of this kind, testifies against such attribution. The analysis of the burial inventory, taking into account the location of this burial within the necropolis, suggests that it was a separate area owed by some local family, and that the religious beliefs of those people were associated with Aphrodite Urania.

Full textAbstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this protocol is to present a transparent and clear methodology for performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature aimed to answer the following question: among patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion, is net water uptake (NWU), as measured in CT images, associated with (i) cerebrovascular complications, including malignant cerebral edema, secondary intracerebral hemorrhage, and (ii) post-stroke functional outcome as measured by the modified Rankin Scale. Condition being studied: Currently, the association between net water uptake with cerebrovascular complications or post-stroke functional outcomes is not well defined. Broocks found that NWU based on CT was an important marker for malignant edema in LVO patients and independently associated with clinical prognosis. Additionally, Nawabi indicated that a higher degree of NWU was a predictor of intracranial hemorrhage in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Thus, a higher NWU might contribute to the development of stroke complications and poorer outcomes. However, no systematic review and meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize this evidence and help establish the predictive value of NWU in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
