In the Museum of Tata there is an unpublished Roman sarcophagus. Because of the hardly legible inscription it has been unpublished for decades. The sarcophagus was erected by a former beneficiarius to his wife and daughter. The structure of the inscription is very unusual with two clauses because the veteran had bought the sarcophagus when his wife was still alive, later he together with his children buried them both into the sarcophagus. Because of the damaged part two restoration possibilities have been proposed. The sarcophagus was made in a local workshop of Brigetio. The inscription can be dated to the middle of the 3rd century but before the reform of Gallienus in the 260s, as still a senatorial legatus legionis was mentioned.

A Pozsonyi Városi Múzeum (1868-1918)
There are stories forgotten and lost from collective consciousness. A sterling example of this is one of the oldest museums in Hungary´s history, the City Museum of Pressburg (Pozsony, Prešporok, today Bratislava) founded in 1868. There have been many authors, especially Slovak museologists, endeavouring to write the history of this museum. But their attempts, because of the disappearance of the German and Hungarian cultural and language codes, and also due to the Slovak nation-building program, have turned out to be rather ambiguous. This study also offers an analysis of the negative aspects of the Slovak publications, and it presents theses dedicated to the service of politics of memory. On the other side, it also pays attention to the paradigm shift of Slovak museology performing numerous positive signals after 1989. On the basis of the so far fundamentally overlooked archival materials held in Bratislava and Budapest, the author also analyses the motivating factors and circumstances of the museum´s foundation, its development in the era of dualism, and its relationship with the State General Inspectorate of Museums and Libraries. He also pays attention to the operation of its custodians (József Könyöki, Ágost Helmár) and their concepts of institution-building and collection enlargement.

It is shown, that in the process of evolution, a relationship between some hidden parameters of acoustic signals and expected emotional response to them has been formed. This relationship is a necessary condition for a living creature to survive. The efficiency of the concept represented is illustrated using examples from the field of classical music, ethnic African music, as well as biolinguistic signals of animals. Reasons of a particular impact of bell rings are analyzed using acoustic signals of some Bulgarian and Russian bell rings and chimes.

Orchestrated and fixed auctions and the publishing of fictitious post auction prices has been an important issue for the Polish art market since 1989. The lack of transparency within the art market is perceived as a risk. There exists a culture of secrecy, an unavailability of information on the depth of the market, its turnover, sellers and buyers, art objects and their actual prices. All this contributes to its ineffectiveness, from which all benefit (chiefly middlemen). The author postulates legal market regulation that would establish an independent agency to control the art market.

In this paper, we consider the task of recognizing epigraphs in images such as photos taken using mobile devices. Given a set of 17,155 photos related to 14,560 epigraphs, we used a k-NearestNeighbor approach in order to perform the recognition. The contribution of this work is in evaluating state-of-the-art visual object recognition techniques in this specific context. The experimental results conducted show that Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors obtained aggregating SIFT descriptors is the best choice for this task.

Ajvaz-dedo’s kasida (Islamic spiritual song) is the most important written source on Ajvaz-dedo and the time of his living and working. There are different opinions about the time of kasida’s creation and historical events spoken in it. Some researchers such as Vladimir Ćorović believe that Ajvaz-dedo’s kasida talks about the invasion of the Hungarians in Bosnia in 1480, and that is why this kasida is the oldest Alhamiado song in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Muhamed Hadžijahić and Abdurahman Nametak have opinion that this kasida is about the invasion of Eugene of Savoy in Bosnia in 1697. Based on the available historical material and sources, in this paper we have tried to prove that Ajvaz-dedo’s kasida could not have emerged in the late fifteenth century, because Alhamiado literature at that time did not exist. So, that kasida describes two separate military marches: Pruščak’s victory over Venice in late spring 1697 and the invasion of Eugene of Savoy in Bosnia in the autumn of the same year.

From the past to the present, Aksaray has remained in the Hittite, Persian, Hellenistic (Alexander the Great), Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman sovereignty. Aksaray, which was a province of Konya until the Republican period, became a province in 1920 and its province was abolished in 1933 and connected to Niğde as a district. On June 15, 1989, it became a province again. Aksaray, BC The history dating back to 8,000 years has never lost its significance in any period due to its cultural assets, natural beauties and a commercial center. Handicrafts have emerged due to natural conditions since human beings have existed. He gave his first examples to cover the needs of people, to cover them and to protect them. The handicrafts, which later developed and showed changes according to the environmental conditions, became a ler traditional göre character by reflecting the feelings, artistic tastes and cultural characteristics of the society in which they emerged. Traditional Turkish Handcrafts have formed a rich mosaic by combining the cultural heritage of various civilizations from the thousands of years of Anatolia with their own values. Handicrafts are the most lively and meaningful documents of a country's cultural identity. The culture of many civilizations that lived in Anatolia continued to exist in a new synthesis after the settlement of the Turks. For this reason, the roots of Turkish handicrafts are very old and have a socio-cultural importance. Formal and non-formal education institutions, official and private institutions and people have reached the present day with the support of people. Traditional Turkish Handcrafts have formed a rich mosaic by combining the cultural heritage of various civilizations from the thousands of years of Anatolia with their own values. Aksaray, which is a cultural basin throughout its history and maintains this feature today, draws attention with the diversity of traditional handicrafts.

Die Authorin stellt einige Ausstellungen und das Konzept des Museums der Altagskultur des 20. Jahrhunderts in Berlin, vor. Dieses Museum hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, mit einer kreativen Verbindung von Ethnologie, Soziologie, Geschichte und Kunstgeschichte, dem gegenwärtigen Trend im Museumsbereich Rechnung zu tragen. Das Konzept des Museums ist weder mit der Abgrenzung der Sozial-von den Geisteswissenschaften, noch mit den altgebrachten Stereotypen der Präsentation des ausgestellten Materials belastet. Die Mitarbeiter des Museums sind sich in jeden Bereich ihrer Arbeit der Komplexität der Welt in der sie leben bewußt und versuchen, die historischen Zusamenhänge zu berücksichtigen. Diese Darstellung stützt sich auf das Buch Alchimie des Alltags: Das Werkbünd-Archiv, Museum der Alltagskultur des 20. Jahrhunderts: Gebrauchanweisung für einen neuen Museumstypus, destiliert von Eckhard Siepmann. Werkbund-Arehiv Band 15, Anabas-verlag, Giessen 1987. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den in diesem Buch behandelten Begriffen Alltag, Kultur und Alltagskultur, gewidmet.

Defense structures consist of highly complex and timely construction techniques. When the civilizations that dominated their lands had changed, castles were repaired and used. Fast construction techniques with low cost have been preferred, usually without special designs or decorations. These cultural properties, which have lost their original function as of the last century, are the most decisive elements of their cities. The defensive structures in the user's urban memory are very decisive because they have never witnessed the city without this defensive structure. Therefore, interventions to these structures should be on the smallest scale.Amasra Fortress covers a part of the district center. Some parts of the castle have been completely destroyed. Detailed researches have been made on the surviving parts. The periods during which the castle was built were investigated. The Amasra Fortress, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List since 2013, has been compared with the entire Genoese colonial Black Sea coastal castles.The aim of this study is to elucidate how to preserve this cultural heritage where academic studies are scarce. Therefore, the historical background of the Amasra Fortress is briefly mentioned. The current situation of the castle was then documented. The damages observed and documented on the castle were revealed. How to deal with these damages is determined. Finally, short, medium and long term protection recommendations have been developed. The most important criterion is the implementation of conservation proposals. Therefore, interviews, observations and comparisons with other walled settlements in the area are based on. In the light of academic studies, it is aimed to transfer this cultural property to the future by protecting it correctly.

This paper is focused on the theory, standards and good practices in digitization of archival documents, as implemented in the Scientific Archive at the National Institute of Archeology with Museum (SA of NIAM-BAS). We explored metadata standards for archival documentation ISAD, EAD and “universal” cultural metadata standard Dublin Core trying to choose the best fit for representing of all the fields of SA of NIAM to de facto “standard”, used in NIAM-BAS since the 60s. The archival documentation of archeological museum is very specific and contains five different types of documents: scientific report, field diary, field inventory book, photographic documentation and graphic documentation. The results and current annotation specifics are explained. Perspectives for future information system development are outlined.

To what extent can deeply divided societies develop integrative and connecting symbols that are transgressing political, social and national borders and division lines? The present text addresses this question by analyzing the discourses and memories of the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics in contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). After examining the discourses around the Games in 1984, the text analyzes the practices and narratives around the official anniversaries of the Games which took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2014. It furthermore explores how Olympic symbols are used today in the public urban space in Sarajevo and in East Sarajevo, and how ordinary people from different parts of BiH perceive the Sarajevo Olympics in the present day. The analysis of the official anniversary commemorations shows that the Sarajevo Olympics, a symbol of a united Yugoslavia in 1984, and a symbol of destruction and division within BiH in 1994, have once again become a more integrative symbol in 2014, currently connecting Sarajevo and East Sarajevo. Being officially commemorated and relating to a strong popular memory, both independently from and even across political and ethnic division lines, gives the Sarajevo Winter Olympics an outstanding place in the culture of remembrance of contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The authors take up some problems, i. e. the role of Euroregion in terms of preservation of cultural heritage, activities connected with protection of non-material and material cultural heritage signed by Euroregion Praded logo or logo of Operating Program of Transborder Polish – Czech Cooperation, lo- cal or cross-border heritage’s dimension of projects; common initiatives and different cultural memory issue at both sides of the border. On the base of conducted analysis, the authors assume that cultural heritage preservation in Euro- region Praded is one of aspects that are aimed at social integration or supports economical growth via tourism development. The role of Euroregion Praded in the sphere of protection of the material heritage basically limits to promoting the heritage, especially monuments as tourist attractions. The authors underline that instrumental approach may carry the risk of commercialization hazard, as well as, submitting attractiveness on authenticity. In the case study of cycle route called “Along the witch trail at the Polish-Czech borderland”, the authors indicate that common project enabled reinterpreta- tion of Nysa’s duchy of Wrocław’s bishops heritage, however the way of presenting and interpretation of this heritage is different at both sides of the border.
