Integral study of the Neolithic of Caput Adriae. On the base of series of AMS 14C dates we rejected traditional interpretations of cultural, settlement and population discontinuity between Mesolithic and Neolithic in the Dinaric area and east Adriatic Coast which stated that local Mesolithic groups were replaced by Asia Minor farmers. Results of mineralogical analyses of clays and pottery demonstrated that ceramic production on the site was local, while ancient DNA analyses of animal bones suggested that introduction on cattle on the site was part of intraregional exchange networks.

The integrative study of the social image of Bronze and Iron Age has its foundations on the results of the research of the settlement Monkodonja a representative of the Castellieri culture. The foundation is being interpreted in a synoichistic way, because there is no doubt that it played a mediative role between the eastern Mediterranean and central European cultures. Its beginning is dated in the time around 2000 BC. The results of the analyses of the Iron Age burial rites at tumulus cemetery in Stična show the existence of 150 lineages and the genesis of an aristocratic lineage.

The research was focused on testing and exploiting the potential of the array of non-invasive methods in acquiring data on the complex sites such Tanagra and Thespiae in Boeotia and Ajdovščina at Rodik. A synthetic study on provenience of roman east Alpine marble presents the production-trade model for Noricum and Pannonia. The model was successfully transferred from the interprovincial to the regional level of the limestone supply in the Lower Pannonia. New thesis on the major role of town based marble workshops challenges old thesis by J. Ward Perkins on importance of quarry based workshops.

Integral study of the human use of the highlands. It offers a typo-chronological analysis of pottery dating from the late medieval period until the 19th century, and functional analysis of the finds aiming at understanding the strategies of the use of highland zones in the past. The second study considers the role of castles in the medieval colonization politics in the are of Krka River and in the Gorjanci mountain ridge. The results of the archaeological excavation at Spanheim castle Kostanjevica and in the interior of the curch st. Jernej in Šentjernej are presented as well.

First presentation of Palaeolithic Art in Slovenia. The detail history and development of Slovenian archaeology and its influence on the development of national archaeologies in the area of former Yugoslavia is presented. The study brings to light much new information about the evolution of academic archaeology in Slovenia and the considerations of its major developmental trajectories. The special focus is upon the formative era and its rapid development after year 1945, where national archaeology followed and caught up with the European trends.
