This paper describes an archaeological experiment which took place in September 2017 in Stolniceni, Edineț County, Republic of Moldova, based on the recent discovery, in the Cucuteni-Trypillia site from the locality, of an exceptional two-chambered updraft kiln. First are presented the phases of the (re)construction of the complex, which strictly followed the dimensions and constitutive elements of the original discovery. After the kiln was finished and dried, a first attempt was made to fire a batch of about 50 vessels of various sizes. During over 10 hours of continuous firing, the kiln worked perfectly, with no incidents that could jeopardize the pottery. In the end, although the vessels seemed to be very well fired in an oxidizing atmosphere, it was proved that the temperatures reached in the kiln (measured with Orton temperature cones and confirmed by a series of XRD analyses) were inferior to those known (based on analyses) for Cucuteni- Trypillia ceramics. However, this first experimental attempt allowed some interesting observations, being a step forward in understanding this complex chaine opératoire of prehistoric pottery production.

The article is an introduction to the state of development of historical demographic studies in Ukrainian historiography. The authors try to explain why, at a time when historical demography was the mainstream in world historiography, it made practically no progress in Soviet Ukraine, and its achievements were left unused in historians’ research. The reasons for interest in historical demography today, and its influence on the development of historical anthropological research, are also analyzed. The authors describe the main research centers, examine the subjects of study and discuss the prospects for development.

Quite a few archival resources found in the Inter-municipal Archive and different enquiries and studies made on the history of education in Opoja and Gora during the Albanian Kingdom 1941-1942 and 1943-1944 reveal the efforts of education enthusiasts to spread through and expand education in the sub-prefecture of Dragash, namely in the area of Opoja and Gora to open as many schools as possible. Thus, at the beginning of World War II, with the establishment of the Albanian Kingdom, education in Albanian language took on a new form, schools and summer courses for adults against illiteracy were opened, which marked a widespread dissemination in Opoja and Gora, too. Teachers who came from Albania and those from Kosovo were undoubtedly the headmen having patriotic duty to guide the education in these areas and laid the foundation of the Albanian education and paved the path to knowledge and prosperity in Opoja and Gora. According to the archive documentation in the sub-prefecture of Dragash, schools in Albanian language were opened in following villages of Opoja and Gorani: Blaç, Buce, Brrut, Rapçë, Vranishte, Brod, Restelicë and Dragash. But there was a barrier in educating children and young people in these two provinces because there was no tradition of education for of a single reason - this population was solely dealing with cattle breeding and a bit of agriculture, so every individual was more than needed to carry on their daily work and thus the number of students was not in satisfactory numbers.

Tradition marks certain constants which are very important characteristics of a specific culture and identity. It is inherited and the process of inheriting the culture, or some part of it, one learns and adopts patterns of behavior and opinions which that culture offers. Sometimes it is bound with previous forms of culture or forms of culture that are vanishing, opposed to modern society and the changes that it brings. Ethnographic records abound with data of human breakthroughs from everyday life as well as solemn moments in a life of an individual, family or the whole community, especially in the ways of holiday celebrations which are the best indicator of the difference between everyday life and special occasions. Adventtime includes a series of holidays that link many customs, beliefs, rituals, processions and congratulations. In that blend there are intertwined traditions made of elements of old Slavic mythology and traditions, through Antic ones, and all the way to Christian ones. This paper describes traditional culture of Solta, an island located in middle Dalmatia that administratively belong to Split-Dalmatian region.

The academic conflict of 1821 at St. Petersburg University became a manifestation of the crisis of the liberal university model borrowed in 1802–1804 from Germany and was reflected in the first university statutes. This model failed to provide the independence of thinking and conduct in the small academic society or the status of the Russian university in the system of state institutions, which remained uncertain. In 1821, an attempt was made to replace the secular university with the clerical one, fully controlled from the outside, by the police department. This university in its pure form did not exist anywhere in Europe, but by 1821 it developed as an image in the program texts of M.L. Magnitsky and D.P. Runich, the ideologists of the counter reforms. The case of professors denounced the crisis of the former model of university management through its trustees, who in the previous two decades ensured the development of university centers by their authority and relations with Europe. This type of trustees was embodied by A. Chartoryisky in Vilna, S. Pototsky in Kharkiv, N.N. Novosiltsov and S.S. Uvarov. They were replaced by trustees-auditors, the accusers of the discovered administrative problems in the structure of universities, abuses of their predecessors, and also the spirit of “free-thinking and godlessness” found by them in teaching, which allegedly threatened the strength of the state. Audit as a special style of administration, approved in the field of education at the turn of the 1820s, corresponded to the methods of direct control in the new governorships created in the last years of the reign of Alexander I. This testifies to the regularity of the phenomenon of D.P. Runich and M.L. Magnitsky, but still does not explain the collapse of the career of the auditors and the demoralizing effect of the case of professors on the university society.

In the first years of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Kingdom of SHS), the educational situation in Herzegovina was very bad. The low level of literacy (in some areas over 90%) and the small number of educational institutions, gave a negative picture, which was further complicated by the incompetence and slowness of the state administration. From the mid-1920s, the situation began to change. The construction of schools and literacy through course teaching were significant, but still insufficient steps to solve all the accumulated problems in this area. Based on unpublished sources and relevant literature, the paper discusses the state of the school system in Herzegovina, during the first period of monarchist Yugoslavia (1918-1929).
