The results of the archaeological and dendrochronological researches at three pile-dwellings in Ljubljansko barje, which are dated into the 2nd half of the 4th millennium BC, are presented. We discuss about very important finds such as the wheel and its axle, two logboats and investigations of wooden handles and children's bow. Analyses of crucibles and a yarn, which is a unique find of this type and age in Slovenia, were conducted. We also searched for origins of raw materials for stone axes, querns, bone and antler artefacts.

The archaeological sites that were discovered and excavated during the highway construction in 1989 are published and analysed in the book: the Bronze Age sites and the early Roman sites (from the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD).An important long distance route that connected Italy with the central Danubian area crossed the Razdrto pass, named Ocra in the Roman era. The Roman roads across the Eastern Alps are presented in the conclusion as well as the importance of the archaeological sites of Razdrto. Slovene and English texts.

Since 1998, the National Museum of Slovenia has been keeping its collection of Roman stone monuments in a modern lapidarium, which was organized in the narrow hallways of the ground floor. The collection contains some 200 pieces, most of which were, prior to 1995, immured in the walls without any order. They are mainly from Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana (Roman Emona) and the nearby village of Ig, as well as from Lower Carniola (Dolenjska). Several monuments are kept in the glass pavilion in the museum garden, which was officially opened in mid-2007.

The earlier publications of the grave with a cuirass from tumulus 52 or IV in Stična, excavated by the Duchess of Mecklenburg in 1913, are wrong. According to the notes of the Duchess's secretary, Gustav Goldberg, only a cuirass, a kernos and a small pot can definitely be ascribed to it. The author demonstrates that the grave groups of the Mecklenburg Collection are unreliable. Finds from other graves from the same or even from a different site have sometimes been added to the Hallstatt period graves from Magdalenska gora and Stična.

At least 132 specimens belonging to no less than 21 species of small terrestrial mammals from the Boreal were identified within the finds from the Early Holocene sediments from Mala Triglavca (the Kras Plateau, SW Slovenia). This small mammal assemblage indicates that their habitat was presumably a mosaic of a mixed, predominantly deciduous forest, dotted with small meadows and some rocky substrate. A comparison of allochronous microfaunas from the Kras Plateau indicated a rapid faunistic change in the last 5.000 years.
