В 2018 г. были продолжены археологические исследования поселения X-XI вв. у д. Горожане (Новосокольнический район Псковской области). Была доисследована южная половина раскопа 1 (24 кв. м). Раскоп 2 (площадь 16 кв. м) был заложен в южной части поселения у западного края площадки. Общая площадь исследований составила 40 кв. м. Под слоем распашки в раскопе 1 сохранился непотревоженный культурный слой мощностью до 0,2 м, который содержит следы крупного пожара. Предварительная датировка пожара - середина - вторая половина X в. В раскопе 2 слой перепахан до самого материка - борозды тракторной распашки прослежены на всей площади раскопа. Керамический комплекс более чем на 90% состоит из лепной керамики. Находки гончарной керамики немногочисленны. Впервые на памятнике встречены фрагменты западнославянской («балтийской») керамики. Коллекция индивидуальных находок представлена 327 предметами. Значительную часть коллекции составляют стеклянные и каменные бусы. Кроме того, среди находок представлены предметы вооружения, украшения, торговый инвентарь, бытовые предметы, несколько дирхемов. In 2018, archaeological excavations of the 10-11 centuries settlement near Gorozhane (Novosokolnichesky district, Pskov Region) were continued. The excavations of the southern half of the site 1 (24 sq. m.) was completed. In the southern part of the settlement at the western edge of the site, excavation 2 (16 sq. m.) was started. The total area of the research was 40 sq. m. Under the plowed layer in excavation 1, there has been preserved an undisturbed cultural layer thick to 0.2 m, which contains traces of a large fire. The fire is preliminary dated by the middle of the second half of the 10 century. In excavation 2, the layer was plowed to the very mainland - the furrows of tractor plowing were traced throughout the entire area of the excavation. The 90 % of the ceramic complex is stucco ceramics. Pottery items are few. For the first time, fragments of West Slavic (“Baltic”) ceramics were found on the site. The collection of individual finds is represented by 327 items. A significant part of the collection consists of glass and stone beads. Besides, the finds are represented by weapons, jewelry, trade equipment, household items, several dirhams.

For the first time, a series of 14C dates has been obtained for samples from the archaeological excavations in Red Square, the historical center of Moscow. The remains of burned dwellings from the bottom of the cultural layer were dated as well as dispersed charcoal from the underlying plough soil. The results correspond to a 200-yr time interval and prove that arable activity at the site began as early as the late 11th century ad. The field belonged to Moscow itself or to rural settlements nearby. The oldest dwelling was built ca. the late 12th–early 13th century ad.

В 2015 г. на территории средневековой крепости Остров (современный г. Остров Псковской области) проведены археологические раскопки. Исследовано кладбище XVIII-XIX вв., культурные отложения XII-XVI вв. Впервые для этого памятника выявлен горизонт первоначального возникновения поселения в северо-западной части летописного г. Остров, датируемый четвертой четвертью I тыс. н. э. In 2015 on the territory of the medieval fortress Ostrov (Ostrov town, Pskov region now) archaeological excavations were conducted. The cemetery of the 18-19 centuries and the cultural deposits of the 12-16 centuries were investigated. For the first time the layer of the appearance of the settlement in the North-Western part of the city of Ostrov reflected in the Chronicles dating from the 4 quarter of the 1 millennium AD was discovered.

Sedelnikovaea baicalensis, the Siberian-Central Asian lichen species, is recorded for the first time for Europe. Based on all the known localities, including those first-time reported from Baikal Siberia, the peculiarities of the ecology and distribution of this species are discussed, the map of its distribution is provided. It is concluded that the species was erroneously considered earlier as a Central Asian endemic. The center of the present range of this lichen is the steppes of Southern Siberia and Mongolia. Assumptions are made that S. baicalensis is relatively young (Paleogene-Neogene) species otherwise it would have a vast range extending beyond Asia, and also that the Yakut locations of this species indicate that in the Pleistocene its range was wider and covered a significant part of the Northeastern Siberia but later underwent regression. Based on the fact that in the mountains of Central Asia the species is found only in the upper mountain belts, it is proposed to characterize it as «cryo-arid xerophyte» in contrast to «arid xerophytes». A conclusion is made that the presence of extensive disjunctions of S. baicalensis range between the Southern Pre-Urals and the Altai-Sayan Mountains or the Mountains of Central Asia is unlikely; the lichen is most likely to occur in the Urals and most of Kazakhstan.

Insight Into

AbstractThis article examines the relationship between the Brussels painter Jan 11 van Coninxloo (ca. 1489-1561 or later) and the Benedictine convent of Groot-Bijgaarden. In earlier publications by J. Maquet-Tombu the link between certain members of the Van Coninxloo family and the Vorst convent have already been pointed out. A new chapter can now be added. In the archive of Groot-Bijgaarden convent are two books in which payments made by the prioresses Françoise and Catherine van Straten for the dccoration of the convent and the church are recorded. The books list a separate item for painting and polychrome work. Here, for the first time, the name Jan van Coninxloo crops up in connection with a sum paid for painting the side panels of the main altar. Van Coninxloo was also paid for painting organ doors, a vaulted ceiling and for 'rough painting'. Four triptychs by Van Coninxloo have also been preserved; they were commissions from women of noble birth who had taken the veil. The names of three of these nuns are known: Anthonine de Locquenghien, Berbel van dcr Noot and Marie Brant. The fourth was called Barbara (Berbel). In view of all this material it may be concluded that Van Coninxloo played a significant part in the decorative appearance of the convent church. He was responsible for triptychs on altars dedicated to St. Anne, St. John and St. Benedict. He also painted the smaller triptych with the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin, the panels of the high altar, doors for an organ and (part of) the ceiling decorations. The article offers a new insight into the context of a group of paintings and adds a number of works to Jan 11 van Coninxloo's oeuvre.

The paper introduces materials from the archaeological excavations on the territory of the village of the 16th—19th centuries Mykilska Slobidka. The village has not been subject to systemic archaeological excavations before. In 2016—2018 we carried out the investigating in different parts of the village. It was fixed that despite the modern urban development, the cultural layer was preserved in some parts of the village. Obtaining materials indicate the existence of pottery production there. The most interesting is the ceramic collection associated with the pottery complex of the beginning of the 19th century. The collection allows us to characterize the assortment of the pottery manufacturing in the Mykilska Slobidka village in the first half of the 19th century. Among the typical products of the workshops were pots decorated with white and red engobe painting, jugs, bowls, lids, mugs, flowerpots, bricks and probably tiles etc. It is interesting that there are no pottery clay deposits in the vicinity of the village. So it is possibly the clay was brought from other villages, may be on the other (right) bank of the Dnieper River.

Second half of the II millennium B.C. can be considered as the time when the first writing system appeared in East Asia in the form of oracle bone inscriptions jiagu wen (甲骨文). For the first time those inscriptions sparked academic interest and received recognition at the end of 19th century, though their place of origin remained a mystery for some time. At the end of the 1920s Archaeological department of Institute of History and Philology Academia Sinica initiated archaeological excavations near modern city of Anyang, Henan province, PRC, because it was implied that the oracle bones with inscriptions had originated there. Archaeological excavations reveled a great ancient center in Anyang, including a cult center, workshops, and cemeteries including royal necropolis. Due to the fact that names of rulers, known from the transmitted texts, were often mentioned in those inscriptions, it was possible to identify the site as the last capital of Shang-Yin dynasty, so-called ‘Great Settlement Shang’ (14th–11th centuries B.C.). All these make the complex rather unique for its time, as it gives us a chance to connect pre-historical and historical data. Researchers managed to determine two relative chronologies (based on archaeological and epigraphic sources) and later to interconnect them and relate to the events mentioned in transmitted texts on early political history. Still, there is a number of problems in correlating those relative chronologies with absolute dates. Up to now the greatest project to coordinate chronology of the II millennium B.C. has been the project “Chronology of the Three Dynasties: Xia–Shang–Zhou” in 1996–2000, initiated by the Chinese political figure Song Jiang. Regardless of some international criticism of the projects’ results, a great number of scholars make use of them in their studies.

For the first time, seismic velocity measurements from well surveys have been made intensively enough to justify an analysis of the velocity field in an entire area instead of just along lines between wells. Maps are drawn showing velocity changes in the southeastern San Joaquin Valley of California. A portion of the valley floor in the neighborhood of Bakersfield, about twenty‐five miles wide and thirty‐five miles long, was chosen for study because of the number of wells in the area whose velocities were known. Differences in average velocity of 1700 feet per second for a constant depth are observed, and horizontal velocity gradients averaging over 100 feet per second per mile are computed. Correction schemes for the adjustment of seismic data are suggested, and correction maps shown. An attempt is made to establish a connection between stratigraphy and seismic velocity. Comparative study of the logs of wells and the velocities observed in them yields certain qualitative conclusions, but attempts to express the relation in a quantitative way fail.

This research investigates the effect of cobalt on the deformation behaviour of a porous TiNi-based alloy that was obtained by sintering. Porous TiNi-based alloys with cobalt additives, accounting for 0–2 at. % and with a pitch of 0.5, were obtained. The structural-phase state of the porous material was researched by X-ray structural analysis. The effect of different amounts of Co (used as an alloying additive) on the deformation behaviour was investigated by tensile to fracture. The fractograms of fracture of the experimental samples were analysed using scanning electron microscopy. For the first time, the present research shows a diagram of the deformation of a porous TiNi-based alloy that was obtained by sintering under tensile. The stages of deformation were described according to the physical nature of the processes taking place. The effect of the cobalt-alloying additive on the change in the critical stress of martensitic shear was investigated. It was found that the behaviour of the concentration dependency of stress at concentrations under 1.5 at. % Co was determined by an increase in the stress in the TiNi solid solution. This phenomenon is attributed to the arrangement of Co atoms on the Ti sublattice, as well as an increase in the fraction of the B19′ phase in the matrix. The steep rise of the developed forces on the concentration dependency of the martensitic shear stress at 2 at. % Co is presumably attributed to the precipitation hardening of austenite due to the precipitation of finely dispersed coherent Ti3Ni4 phase following the decrease of fraction of martensite. An analysis of fractograms showed that as more cobalt was added, areas of fracture with traces of martensite plates of the B19′ phase started to prevail. At 2 at. % Co these plates fill almost the entire area of the fracture. The research findings presented in this work are of great importance, since they can be used to achieve the set of physical and mechanical properties required for the development of biocompatible materials for implantology.

The article is devoted to the publication of obtained materials from a site in the Itkul archaeological district that includes a settlement called Gorodishche 1. The site is located on the southern shore of Lake Bol'shoi Itkul, on the border of the Zonalnyi and Troitskii districts. The land plot of the settlement has a complex layout and is limited by a moat. At the site, an area of 64 square metres was excavated, as a result, a dwelling pit and a small part of the moat were investigated. The dwelling was a semi-hut of a semi-rectangular form with an open hearth. The area of the dwelling was about 28 square metres. The location of the materials in the dwelling pit shows the special features of the layout. The place of entrance was identified. The economic zone was distinguished by the location of the hearth and the accumulation of ceramics around it; it was located at the farthest wall from the entrance. There were not many finds in the cultural layer. The finds were represented by clusters of ceramics. The vessels were round-bottomed, of lowered proportions, decorated with ornament in the upper part. The most common elements of the ornament were pits. There was also a comb duck ornament. Just one element was used in the ornamental composition. The features of the ceramic complex allowed the authors to refer the studied site to the Fominskaya stage of the Kulaiskaya culture and date it within the 2nd-4th centuries. The material is published for the first time.

Archaeological Excavations

Preventive archaeological excavations on the national site Butmir continued during 2017 with the same goal, to determine the actual area of distribution of the archaeological potential on the site. These excavations have been conducted on the area around Hotel Hills, by a consortium consisting of the Institute of Archaeology at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Sarajevo and the Association “Društvo arheologa 1894” (Association of Archaeologists 1894). The implemented methods of research were the same as for the previous excavation, which combined machine-dug and hand-dug test trenches. Bore holing was also used to determine the depth of geological and potential archaeological layers, which would serve as a basis for getting clearer and wider results on the distribution of archaeological potential. Using the listed methods, there have been excavated 32 machine-dug test trenches whose length goes from 3 to 20 m, 3 hand-dug test trenches, and 7 boreholes. It has been determined that cultural layers from the ancient and prehistoric periods exist between 0.60 and 0.90 m. In trenches 1-6 there have been found a significant amount of pottery and traces of metallurgy from the prehistoric period. Trench number 3 provided the most significant results – a large amount  of pottery and one bowl with remains of iron slag. Trenches 6 to 15 showed a deeper cultural layer and potential settlement layer which resulted in excavating hand-dug trenches with specifically prehistoric remains that have been reliably determined to the Neolithic period. Nevertheless, the national monument Butmir is not the same as at the time of discovery, and the area for potential new archaeological excavations has been significantly shrunk because of modern architecture and infrastructure. Having that in mind, previous excavations have determined that the present Neolithic Butmir settlement contains findings from an area excavated during the Austro-Hungarian period and a smaller part of the marginal area of the Neolithic tells where the central part of the settlement has been found.
