SloveniaDuring this year's summer archaeology school at the ancient hillfort Bab in Pivško, researchers uncovered remnants of a building dating back to the late phase of settlement on Bab, around the middle of the 1st century BC. Among the findings were the remains of an entrance made from large sandstone blocks, suggesting the structure was built using materials brought from the nearby river valley. Dr. Boštjan Laharnar, head of the Archaeological Department at the National Museum of Slovenia, noted that these findings indicate the lower floor of the building had stone floors made of stepped sand and clay, while the upper floor was wooden but has not survived. The discovery includes a bronze fastener believed to have been crafted in northern Italy and dated between 70 and 20 BC, supporting the construction timeline of the building. Additionally, a Roman coin from the 2nd century BC suggests early contact between the inhabitants of Bab and the Romans.
