  • Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova
    Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova 29 Illyrian-Albanian Continuity on the Areal of Kosova Jahja Drançolli* Abstract In the present study it is examined the issue of Illyrian- Albanian continuity in the areal of Kosova, a scientific problem, which, due to the reasons of daily policy, has extremely become exploited (harnessed) until the present days. The politicisation of the ancient history of Kosova begins with the Eastern Crisis, a time when the programmes of Great-Serb aggression for the Balkans started being drafted. These programmes, inspired by the extra-scientific history dressed in myths, legends and folk songs, expressed the Serb aspirations to look for their cradle in Kosova, Vojvodina. Croatia, Dalmatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro. Such programmes, based on the instrumentalized history, have always been strongly supported by the political circles on the occasion of great historical changes, that have overwhelmed the Balkans. Key Words: Dardania and Dardans in antiquity, Arbers and Kosova during the Middle Ages, geopolitical, ethnic, religious and cultural concepts, which are known in the sources of that time followed by a chronological development. The region of Kosova preserves archeological monuments from the beginnings of Neolith (6000-2600 B.C.). Since that time the first settlements were constructed, including Tjerrtorja (Prishtinë), Glladnica (Graçanicë), Rakoshi (Istog), Fafos and Lushta (Mitrovicë), Reshtan and Hisar (Suharekë), Runik (Skenderaj) etc. The region of Kosova has since the Bronze Age been inhabited by Dardan Illyrians; the territory of extension of this region was much larger than the present-day territory of Kosova. * Prof. Jahja Drançolli Ph.

We studied the archaeological material from the Roman, Late Roman and, in particular from the Early Byzantine period. A large number of archaeological objects and especially iron tools found on the ^e~an and Gornji Streoc fortresses indicate a well-developed level of production in the crafts and iron manufacturer. We emphasize the importance of these fortresses in Late Roman times and we highlight the fortification of the interior regions of Illyricum. This suggests that Dardania had a considerable population in the Late Roman period as is confirmed by the many fortresses constructed throughout the entire region, often on almost inaccessible terrain. Key words. – Dardania, Kosovo, Fortifications, Late Roman, Early Byzantine, Finds, Coins. ery little is known about the material culture abounding in pastures and intersected by fertile river of Kosovo in Late Roman times.

    REGIONALNI PLAN ZA NASLEĐE CENTAR 2015 - 2018 Regionalni plan za nasleđe Centar 2015 - 2018 maj 2015 Priština Ovaj dokumenat je urađen u okviru zajedničkog projekta EU/SE “Podrška promociji kulturne raznolikosti na Kosovu”. Sadržaj ne predstavlja nužno zvaničan stav Evropske unije i/ili Saveta Evrope. Uvodna reč Zajednice širom sveta sve više i više traže način da postanu aktivnije u lokalnoj vlasti i da odlučuju o tome na koji način će se upravljati njihovim lokalnim resursima. Demokratsko učešće uz inkluzivni pristup prema svima, vođenje računa o pravima na poštovanje običaja sopstvene kulture neophodno je za dobrobit zajednica u kojima se višestruki identiteti i ra- zličitost smatraju važnim resursima. Nasleđe, kao jedan od osnova savremenog života, igra ključnu ulogu u lokalnom ekon- omskom razvoju budući da bi odgovorna briga i upravljanje nasleđenim resursima mog- li da predstavljaju nešto od čega bi zajednice mogle da imaju koristi. Zajednički projekat Evropske unije / Saveta Evrope – Podrška promovisanju kulturne razlnolikosti na Kosovu* (PKRK) je inovativan po načinu na koji se lokalne zajednice uključuju u brigu i upravljanje svojim nasleđem, dok se razvoj metodologija i programa koji odgovaraju lokalnom senzibi- litetu zasnivao na dogovorenim standardima. Pomoću ovog integrisanog pristupa nasleđu i raznolikosti, Plan za nasleđe spaja najistak- nutije karakteristike zajednica u regionalni okvir. Pored dobro poznatih nasleđenih resursa, on pokušava da poveže i nematerijalne aspekte savremenog života zajednice i da ga poveže sa različitim načinima na koje nasleđe ima svoju ulogu. Budući da je takve prirode da pod- stiče učešće, u izradi Plana za nasleđe od samog početka lokalni akteri su podsticani na sve veću i veću ulogu kao i u planovima koji se odnose na njegovu budućnost.

  • Timacum Minus in Moesia Superior—Centrality and Urbanism at a Roman Mining Settlement
    land Article Timacum Minus in Moesia Superior—Centrality and Urbanism at a Roman Mining Settlement Lina Diers Institute for Classical Archaeology, University of Vienna, Franz-Klein-Gasse 1, 1190 Vienna, Austria; [email protected] Received: 16 September 2018; Accepted: 19 October 2018; Published: 22 October 2018 Abstract: When applying traditional criteria of Roman urbanism, several settlements in the province of Moesia are not recognised as parts of the urban network. To avoid this, previous criteria of urbanism should be revised. This paper suggests revisions, which provide a more inclusive definition of urbanism: Thus, instead of focusing on administrative status and monumentality as primary markers of urbanity and urbanization, development factors for agglomeration and centrality are emphasized as decisive conditions for, and characteristics of, urban settlement. To provide a case study for this theoretical outline, the upper-Moesian mining settlement of Timacum Minus is evaluated by ideas derived from a critical appreciation of Walter Christaller’s central place theory. Timacum Minus did not have official settlement status and monumental character, yet, it developed as a central place in the unique landscape of the Timok valley. This was due to its location as a central road station, military post, and settlement along the important interregional Timok valley road as well as the site hierarchy as the base of the centralized administration of the Timok valley mining district. Hence, Timacum Minus displays different levels of centrality. Interestingly, the site only held these properties during the Roman Principate, although its central location and mining activities also existed in pre-Roman and post-Roman times.

  • Sociological Dimension of Urban Plans: General Urban Plan of Priština from 1953
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering Vol. 17, No 1, 2019, pp. 93-104 https://doi.org/10.2298/FUACE190130003S SOCIOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF URBAN PLANS: GENERAL URBAN PLAN OF PRIŠTINA FROM 1953, ARCH. DRAGUTIN PARTONIĆ UDC 711.4(497.115 PRIŠTINA)”1953” Arber Sadiki, Vladimir Mako University of Belgrade, Faculty of Architecture, Belgrade, Serbia Abstract. This study aims to define the importance of a sociological component in urban plans and determine its impact on the overall quality of urban documentation and subsequently on the quality of urban life. Social transformations which took place after the Second World War, new social and political order in Kosovo, within which Priština became the main administrative city, resulted in a need for new administrative, cultural, social and other facilities, which indispensably caused development of first urban plans.The specific aim of this study is directed towards identification and determination how the General Urban Plan of Priština from 1953 designed by Dragutin Partonić, professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade, affected important social and cultural changes of the city. Actually, this document also presents the beginning of modernization of Priština. Key words: Modernization, modernism, Priština, urban plans, Dragutin Partonić 1. INTRODUCTION Sociologists, who have dealt with urban sociology as a science aiming to study various types of manifestations of urban life by describing, classifying and interpreting it in an appropriate manner, agree that sociological dimension of cities had been the subject of interest even prior to sociology becoming a separate science. Urban sociology defines a city as a space where specific social phenomena take place influencing the transformation of that space with their operation (Ĉaldarović, 1985:5).

M. Morel, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, and approved April 30, 2018 (received for review December 11, 2017) The Balkans are considered the birthplace of mineral resource polar ice cores (14, 15) and lake sediments (16–18). Released to exploitation and metalworking in Europe. However, since knowl- the atmosphere through mining and smelting, once deposited edge of the timing and extent of metallurgy in southeastern within peat or lake sediments, Pb is effectively immobile (19), Europe is largely constrained by discontinuous archaeological resulting in its reliability as a proxy for reconstructing past pol- findings, the long-term environmental impact of past mineral lution directly related to such anthropogenic activities (20). Due resource exploitation is not fully understood. Here, we present a in part to its biogeochemical immobility, and after the early high-resolution and continuous geochemical record from a peat detection (21) of a clear environmental Pb pollution peak from bog in western Serbia, providing a clear indication of the extent and magnitude of environmental pollution in this region, and a Roman times in British peat records, much of the focus has been context in which to place archaeological findings. We observe ini- on this metal (20).
