The territory is most famous for rock salt ores, with numerous sources of brine, and this archaeological project provided abundant material evidences relating to earlier prehistoric occupations. The most important and most interesting find, however, were those that pointed to the early salt exploitation and the evaporation of the brine, i.e. to the process of obtaining salt by boiling salty water. The topic of this research is thus the examination of material from perhaps one of the oldest salt exploration sites in Eastern Europe, using a chemical analysis for the determination of sodium and chloride content in remains/fragments of ceramic vessels used in the brine evaporation process. Following the same analyses done in Japan, China and North America and Germany, all carried out completely independent of each other, we applied the same principle on material from Tuzla sites. The aim of the analyses was to test the possibility of that vessels were acctually used in salt production, to verify the use of certain vessel shapes, as well as to compare results with the results of the aforementioned analyses from other salt production site in the world. Proving that a particular type of vessel was used in the process of evaporation would specify the process of exploitation and evaporation, its realization and functioning during the prehistory, as we do not have many other opportunities for further archaeological excavations and researching.

The EUROFARM project focuses on the processes of cultural transmission associated with the spread of farming across Europe. This is investigated through comparison, within and between both streams of neolithisation, of four technological innovations: farming practices, landscape use, pottery and lithics. The EUROFARM research area is the western Balkans

This discovery, near the medieval fortress Zvecaj, aroused public interest in a little-known detail from the medieval past of today's Banja Luka on whose territory Zvecaj is locatted, and in swords, which were an integral part of the medieval knights. Today, the mentioned sword is kept in the holdings of the Museum or the Republic of Srpska, more precisely in the Collection of Medieval Weapons and Armour.
Откриће и археолошко подводно ископавање средњовјековног бастардног мача у кориту ријеке Врбас, октобра 2019. код села Рекавице, околина Бањалуке, привукло је пажњу јавности и медија, не само у Републици Српској, већ и у свијету. Ово откриће, у близини средњовјековне тврђаве Звечај, побудило је интересовање јавности за једним мало познатим детаљем из средњовјековне прошлости данашње Бањалуке, на чијој територији се налази Звечај, као и за мачеве, који су представљали саставни дио опреме средњовјековних витезова. Поменути мач се данас чува у фундусу Музеја Републике Српске, тачније Збирци средњовјековног оружја и оклопа.

Salt is a primordial reference for humanity. This “fifth element” is universal in a double sense, diachronically and diatopically. How can archaeology and related disciplines or sciences approximate this soluble good, this “white gold”, this invisible past?
From the diatopic and diachronic perspective, common salt—with all its natural or artificial metamorphoses—has influenced humanity in the most diverse aspects. This is why, within a brief enumeration, the salt-related research themes are intriguingly various: explorations (hunting for salt), exploitation techniques, techniques to obtain different products, exploitation and use tools, transport and storage containers, human and animal feeding, conservation (meat, bacon, cheese, vegetables, green goods, fruits). The themes also include manufacture-related uses (including the construction of salt houses), mythology, religion, cult, rituals, beliefs, superstitions, mentalities, secret societies, magic, vows, curses, prohibitions, popular medicine, sexuality, economy, hide working, population, alchemical procedures, scientific and cultural representations, treatment of the deceased, barter, commerce, contraband, robbery.
On the other hand, the themes also include human and animal mobility, the attraction exerted on savage beasts, symbolic uses, folk literature (stories, tales, and proverbs) and cult literature, the control of salt resources, conflicts, strategic value, geographic perceptions, professions related to salt exploitation and uses, economic, legal and administrative regulations, vocabulary, toponymy, anthroponomy and the list can go on.
All these themes already constitute a study object for an impressive number of sciences, disciplines, or sub-disciplines, such as archaeology, heritage studies, history, ethnography, ethnoarchaeology, economic anthropology, food sciences, statistics, sociology, geology, mineralogy, geography, hydrology, botany, chemistry, medicine, pharmacology, ethology, theology, agronomy, symbology, linguistics, folklore studies, cultural studies, literary studies, hermeneutics, legal sciences, etc. Obviously, some themes must be approached only in an interdisciplinary vision.

The Organizing Committee
University of Banja Luka Faculty of Electrical Engineering (ETFBL) is the B&H representative in the H2020 three-year project VI-SEEM for creating a single Virtual Research Environment (VRE) in the Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean (SEEM) in order to facilitate interdisciplinary regional cooperation in the field of biosciences, climatology and digital cultural heritage. As ETFBL is involved in the area of digital cultural heritage, they are closely cooperating with personnel from PI Museum of Republic of Srpska (MoRS) and University of Banja Luka Faculty of Philosophy in the process of digitization and management of cultural heritage, metadata and workflow aspects. Cooperation between MoRS and ETFBL also extends into ARKWORK COST project which connects archaeology and digital tools. Two main aims of our cooperation are to utilize limited available resources to enable for efficient digitization and management process, and to design and implement a system suitable for presentation and visualization of digitized cultural heritage. So far we have done 3D scanning of more than 100 objects of which some are available online. We have organized several lectures about digitization for employees in cultural heritage sectors as well as NGO’s and freelancers involved in these sectors.
