The Dataset for Tracing Invisible Hearths and Daily Routines through Carbonized Plant Remains and Geochemical Signals in an Early Iron Age Smithy at Pungrt Hillfort, Slovenia
The dataset presented in this paper comprises results from archaeobotanical and geoarchaeological analyses. It was compiled primarily to reconstruct the location of the archaeologically invisible forge hearth within a late 6th- and early 5th-century BC smithy in Building 24 at Pungrt Hillfort, central Slovenia. The analysed sediment samples were systematically collected in a 50×50 cm grid during the excavation of the building. Archaeobotanical re…
PXRF spectrometry in the geoarchaeological analysis of archaeological deposits
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry is widely employed in the geoarchaeological analysis of archaeological deposits. However, the preparation methods and laboratory protocols used remain diverse, with established standards frequently disregarded. In this study, we examine the effects of grinding on the precision of mean analyte concentrations and evaluate the suitability of different factory calibrations and their associated measureme…
Tracing invisible hearths and daily routines through carbonised plant remains and geochemical signals in an Early Iron Age smithy at Pungrt Hillfort, Slovenia
Archaeologically invisible forge hearths may have been portable and raised. • Charred archaeobotanical remains as a proxy for archaeologically invisible hearths. • Archaeobotanical and geochemical spatial reconstruction of activity areas. • Evidence of flatbread preparation during the Early Iron Age in Slovenia. • Evidence of a household-based smithy during the Early Iron Age at Pungrt Hillfort. This study addresses the challenge of locating forg…
Macro to Micro Stratigraphic and Artefactual Evidence From an Early Iron Age Smithy at the Pungrt Hillfort (Central Slovenia)
The dataset presented in this paper includes data about macro- and micro-stratigraphy, as well as macro- and micro-artefacts from the Early Iron Age smithy (Building 24, phase IIb2) at the Pungrt Hillfort, Central Slovenia. The data were collected during the archaeological excavation and geoarchaeological sampling at the site, followed by laboratory processing and analysis of the gathered samples. All the data are stored at the Repository of the …
From macro to micro approaches in settlement archaeology
In this paper, we present an interdisciplinary and multiscalar study of an Early Iron Age smithy uncovered at the Pungrt hillfort in Central Slovenia. By examining and comparing the stratigraphic and artefactual evidence preserved at both macro- and micro-scales this study highlights the importance of integrated micromorphological and micro-refuse analyses in settlement contexts. Our integrated approach allowed us to identify the blacksmith’s wor…
Slope classification of Slovenia and selected field survey results from the Slovenian Motorway Project
This data paper concerns a dataset of slope classification results for the entire country of Slovenia and data on extensive and intensive survey results at 24 case study sites along with excavated areas at the sites

Proto-urban hillfort at 10 microns
Geoarchaeological analysis of settlement stratigraphy is key to understanding continuity and change in economic, social and cultural spaces within complex (proto-)urban sites. Here, preliminary micromorphological and micro-refuse data from the Pungrt hillfort demonstrate the potential of a fine-scaled geoarchaeology-based approach for understanding the structuring and reuse of space, not just within settlements but within individual households, t…
Early Iron Age urbanism in the south-eastern Alpine region
Largescale excavation at the Iron Age and Roman period Pungrt hillfort (8th century BC to 2nd century AD) has revealed a distinctly urban character of the settlement in its best-preserved Late Hallstatt phase from the 6th to 4th centuries BC. This study provides an important contribution to the understanding of the settlement's internal organization and its socioeconomic development. By examining the previously unaddressed phenomena of settlement…
Biritualna nekropola iz starejše železne dobe v Mengšu
Mengeš je s številnimi grobišči in utrjeno naselbino na Gobavici ter poselitvenim arealom neposredno ob vznožju gradišča eno pomembnejših najdišč gorenjsko-ljubljanske halštatske skupine. V članku so predstavljeni rezultati arheoloških izkopavanj iz leta 2003 na grobišču Zavrti, kjer so bili odkriti skeletni in žgani grob ter pokop kobile iz mlajšehalštatskega obdobja. Arheološka datacija je bila potrjena z radiokarbonsko analizo. Gre za izjemno …
Srečanja in vplivi v raziskovanju bronaste in železne dobe na Slovenskem
Srečanja in vplivi se zrcalijo skozi delo prof. Bibe Teržan pri proučevanju arheoloških pojavov v lokalnem, regionalnem ali nadregionalnem okolju, pa naj bo na nivoju posameznikov v družbi ali na nivojih širših skupnosti. So pomembni, a težko oprijemljivi in razumljivi motorji, ki se nam v svojih materializiranih oblikah kažejo v arheoloških najdbah, kontekstih, najdiščih in krajinah ter najbolj izrazito, a zagonetno zakodirano, na umetniških stv…
