This paper analyses the extant pre-Romanesque sculpture from Biograd, classifying it into homogeneous groups based on stylistic and visualmorphological features, and attributing it to various stone-carving workshops active from the last decades of the 8th until the late 9th century. Most of the fragments have been associated with the recently identified atelier called "Workshop of the Plutei of the Zadar Cathedral" and dated approximately to the last decades of the 8th or the very beginning of the 9th century. Some of the remaining fragments have been linked to the stone-carving workshops active in the times of the Croatian dukes Trpimir and Branimir, and thus dated to the middle and the last quarter of the 9th century, respectively. As for the rest of the reliefs, it has only been possible to establish that they show features of mature pre-Romanesque style typical of the 9th century, with three interesting fragments dated to a somewhat later period based on their stylistic features: two of them to the mid-11th and the third to the first quarter of the 12th century. Finally, an analysis and attribution of three fragments of two pilasters that were later re-carved as an architrave, discovered in St Chrysogonus' church in Zadar, has helped the author to establish a chronological distinction between two early stone-carving productions identified in the broader Zadar region. One of them is the "Workshop of the Plutei of the Zadar Cathedral", which helps in dating the largest group of pre-Romanesque reliefs from Biograd with greater accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The topic of this paper is an inhumation grave from Kamenjača, in Breza near Sarajevo, already described in previous literature. Based on the typological and chronological analysis of the grave goods, previous dating proposed for finds from the grave is corrected. Also, a new theory on the different character of the site is put forward, as well as an interpretation of the meaning of the burial therein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes chronological subject headings used in subject cataloging to express the temporal component of a document. The author explains different methods of representing the deduced time and the position of a chronological subject heading in the complex structure of subject headings and the meaning of the subject string. The use of subdivision elements history and prognosis, and of chronological subject headings in the catalogue of the National and University Library, Zagreb, is described thoroughly with annotated examples for illustration. The paper draws special attention to years, single ones as well as those which are part of chronological subject headings that cover specific periods of time. The author has proposed an outline of historical periods in Croatian history based on the knowledge of Croatian historiography. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the need for consistency in work and the significance of a controlled vocabulary system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The authors hold that this paper is partial contribution to rare researching of history of legal theory. In this paper they analised not only legal theory textes but from other sciences which are not separated from them, especially legal philosophy, legal sociology and politics. They analyses textes by chronological method to show representation of some problem area in the definite period. According to relationship problem area, all textes can be assemble in folloving groups: textes deal with legal terminology, some theoretical direction, legal prescription, legal relationship and legal methodology. The most representation authors published in "Mjesečnik" are: Ivan Strohal (which was published from 1908 to 1913) and Baltazar Bogišić (1877-1889).

Referring to the hypothesis about the appearance of three-beaded earrings in Croatia only in the late period of the Middle Ages, which Stjepan Gunjača based on the hoard find of three-beaded earrings and coins of the Angevin king Louis I (1342-1382) in a closed grave unit found during excavations of the cemetery surrounding the ruined church of St. Michael at Brnaze near Sinj, Ljubo Karaman in his article "Two chronological questions of Early Croatian archaeology" in the first section on "The period of appearance three-beaded earrings of the socalled Kiev type in Dalmatian Croatia" first questioned and then rejected Gunjača's claim. As the main argument for confirmation of his opinion about the appearance of the three-beaded earrings in the early medieval period, he presented a photograph from the archives of the Museum of Croatian Antiquities, where the grave unit included spurs of the Carolingian type that he dated to the 9th century, along with a three-beaded earring decorated with filigree. Faced with Karaman's argument, for which he had no proper answer, Gunjača did not further enter into discussions about the chronology of these earrings. Although more than fifty years have passed since then, in which the science of archaeology has greatly evolved through new findings, the fact remains that numerous art historians and archaeologists involved in the typology and chronology of the Middle Ages of Croatia ignore this opinion of Karaman. In fact, they avoid mentioning this article by Karaman and the arguments set forth in it as if it had never even been written. However, until the dilemma presented by Karaman is not solved, all conjectures about the chronology of this type of jewelry are scientifically defective and inconsistent. The author of this contribution, dedicated to the meritorious archaeologist and professor J. Belo&sacron;ević, solves the problem of Karaman's hypothesis, by discovering that the three-beaded earring should be removed from the grave unit on the archival photograph, as it was placed there by chance. In this manner a serious problem in archaeological science has been removed and a more justified dating of medieval three-beaded earrings is made possible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This scientific analysis starts from a valuable acquisition of the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb - a very wellpreserved early medieval winged spear from the vicinity of Dugo Selo, a town twenty kilometers to the east of Zagreb. The spear purchased for the Archaeological Museum in 2007 is of high quality and almost entirely preserved, with damage only on one side of the lower part of the socket (length 473.4 mm; weight 508 g). The spear is characterized by a broad blade, with a visible but not prominent rib, and the greatest span in the middle of the blade (54.4 mm). On both sides of the blade, more on one and less on the other, there are visible traces of double banded spirally twisted damascening with a rosette pattern of the Rosendamast (Rosetendamast) type. The socket of the spear is short (104.4 mm), with a hexagonal section above and a circular section below (28 mm), with a deep (94 mm) but not particularly wide insertion area (23.4 mm). The holes for the nails are located below the low placed wings or lugs, straight on top, and concavely curved below (span 71.8 mm). The ends of the wings are bent horizontally in the shape of the letter L. Each main side of the socket has a pair of elongated grooved bands (90 x 5.3 mm), while each lateral side above the wings has a pair of short grooved bands joined upwards into a point. The spear was brought to the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb and offered for sale by a resident of Dugo Selo, a small town twenty some kilometers east of Zagreb, who noted that it had been found twenty or more years ago on the northern slopes of the hill of Martin Breg during renovation of a nearby vineyard and the lane in the immediate vicinity, next to which the spear was found and handed over to its later owner (perhaps during widening and gravelling of the lane). Hence the location of the find is not certain, and it can be hypothesized, judging from the very good state of preservation, that the spear was actually an aquatic find, and that it came from a riverbed, sand bank, or gravel pit in the vicinity of Dugo Selo (which is near the Sava River). The spear is a typical early Carolingian product, which according to earlier typological-chronological systems would belong to Petersen type B, Paulsen winged spears of the finished type, and Szemeit type A, and accordingly would belong to the early Carolingian period and be dated to the period around AD 800. More recent archaeological research and knowledge acquired in the past twenty years has led to a different consideration and analysis of objects of this type, and the spear from the Dugo Selo vicinity has been analyzed on the basis of this new knowledge (Solberg, Westphal). The analysis was also extended to cover all of the known examples of winged spears in museums and other collections in Croatia (11+1 ex.) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (8 ex.), which for this occasion were subjected to an analysis of their dimensions and proportions, so that they would finally be compared and interpreted in the framework of the morphological postulates and conclusions previously reached by the German archaeologist-restorer H. Westphal. Analysis has shown the existence of several typological groups whose proposed chronological coordinates differ from those parameters used to the present for the investigation and the interpretation of winged spears in the works of Croatian archaeologists. This metrological approach to the analysis of the Croatian finds has confirmed the existence of examples that belong to the earliest tradition of early Carolingian winged spears and has identified several other spears whose morphological characteristics indicate the first half of the 8th century. The remaining spears mainly belong to two main typological groups (Westphal types II and III), i.e. to the period from the second half of the 8th century to within the second half of the 9th century.
