Kuruçay Höyük is a key site for our understanding of Late Prehistory in southwest Turkey. So far, limited research has been conducted on the relationship between the excavated site and its surroundings. This article discusses the Late Chalcolithic results of an integrated (geophysical, field survey) survey in the vicinity of Kuruçay Höyük in the Burdur Plain. The picture that emerges is one of a differentiated settlement system consisting of both larger höyük/tell settlements (like Kuruçay Höyük) and smaller sized, possibly short-lived, flat settlements.

The monograph presents the results of two years of excavations (1982 and 1983) on the fortified late antique hilltop settlement Korinjski hrib above Veliki Korinj in Suha Krajina, where the remains of five defensive towers and an early Christian church were investigated. The settlement was recognised as a military outpost and as such was an exception in the Eastern Alps. The monogaphs brings a detailed discussion of the context of the settlement and field results of the excavations of the towers, the church and the associated small cemetery.

The study is a theoretical discussion on the role of caves in prehistoric ritual landscapes. It introduces new theoretical concepts in the study of ritual and prehistoric natural places: the sublime, the abject and the das unheimliche. Theoretical discussion is illustrated using the case study of the prehistoric ritual landscape of Škocjan, which also presents some new evidence obtained through field research. The study (and the book in which it appears) was praised as a top contribution to cave archaeology.

The article presents the results of the integrated research of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in the Slovenian Styria. The integrative methodology is clearly introduced, which is based on the data obtained with non-destructive methods such as lidar, geophysical prospecting and geochemical mapping, which are also carefully integrated into the field research. An important aspect of the study is archaeometric research, where we focus on the analysis of pottery, animal and human bones and funeral rites.
