First aim of this paper is identification and analysis of the natural and anthropological processes that have affected the original context of the Roman defensive structures on the Lower Danube in Bulgaria. One of the main points is to define a borderline between traditional and modern relationship between man and environment. Secondly, a reconstruction of the original conditions of the territory is proposed, based on analysis and synthesis of various sources from different areas of knowledge. It is a mean for a better understanding of the relation between sites and their context. As a result, the possibilities for theoretical and practical applications which would contribute for the preservation of the Lower Danube Limes as a cultural landscape are discussed. The study covers a representative section of the Danube, between the mouths of rivers Iskar and Yant...

Обектите са разгледани според вида риск, който ги застрашава потенциално или уврежда активно и води до необратима загуба на културно-историческо наследство.

The first digital edition includes papers from the 5th scientific conference Methodology and Archaeometry which was held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of
the University of Zagreb, from 30th November – 1st of December 2017. Six scientific papers presented in this volume are focused on different aspects of archaeology, including case studies from Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Albania and Spain. Topics cover the range from the role of archaeological methodology in preventive archaeology; archaeological
surface survey methods; identification of the cultural landscape as a part of the procedure for the protection of cultural heritage sites; analytical techniques applied to ceramic assemblages, and the development, benefits and shortcomings of the archaeological research and its impact to the understanding of the past.

The work on the nomination requires a careful selection of individual sites to be included that fulfil the criteria of integrity, authenticity and manageability. In the process, the considered archaeological sites included in the Tentative list of Bulgaria were revised and as consequence – the final number of sites that will be included in the nomination was reduced almost in half.
However, the sites that are “left on the bench” still have the potential to become part of the prospective WHS in the future, if the problems that were ascertained would find their solution. The present poster points out several perspective sites and discussed the problems that hindered their inclusion. It presents the results of documentation and digitalization campaign that was carried out on the Danube limes in Bulgaria in 2021, commissioned and supported by the Limes Commission in Bulgaria.
