The dataset, presented in a data paper (submitted), includes data about macro- and micro-stratigraphy, as well as macro- and micro-artefacts from the Early Iron Age smithy (Building 24, phase IIb2) at the Pungrt Hillfort, Central Slovenia. The data were collected during the archaeological excavation and geoarchaeological sampling at the site, followed by laboratory processing and analysis of the gathered samples. All the data are stored at the Repository of the University of Ljubljana. Their potential lies, on the one hand, in further validation of results presented in the research paper (submitted) on Building 24 at Pungrt. More importantly, they act as a reference base helpful in recognising distinct lime floor plasters and washes, interpreting various micro-stratigraphic earthen and lime-based floor sequences, and identifying micro-refuse materials, especially those related to blacksmithing. In the repository, the dataset is divided into several zip files following the dataset’s structure (described in more detail in the Data description document): 1. Macro-stratigraphy (1. Macro-stratigraphy.zip) 2. Micro-stratigraphy (2. Micro-stratigraphy.zip: folder 2 with subfolder 2.1.) 2.1. Sampling locations 2.2. Thin section high-resolution photos (2.2. Thin section high-resolution photos.zip) 2.3. Microphotographs (2.3 Microphotographs.zip) 3. Macro-artefacts (3. Macro-artefacts.zip) 4. Micro-artefacts (4. Micro-artefacts.zip: folder 4 with subfolders 4.1. to 4.4.) 4.1. Macro-reference collection 4.2. Sampling grid 4.3. Raw data 4.4. Grouping 4.5. Photographs (4.5. Photographs.zip) 4.6. SEM-EDS (4.6. SEM-EDS to 4.8. Spatial analysis.zip: subfolders 4.6 to 4.8) 4.7. Radiocarbon dating 4.8. Spatial analysis

• Title: Makro do mikro stratigrafija in najdbe iz starejšeželeznodobne kovačnice na gradišču Pungrt (centralna Slovenija) : baza podatkov

Abstract

Baza podatkov, predstavljena v podatkovnem članku (oddan), vključuje podatke o makro- in mikrostratigrafiji ter makro- in mikroartefaktih iz starejšeželeznodobne kovačnice (stavba 24, faza IIb2) na gradišču Pungrt v osrednji Sloveniji. Podatki so bili zbrani med arheološkimi izkopavanji in geoarheološkim vzorčenjem na najdišču, čemur sta sledili laboratorijska obdelava in analiza vzorcev. Vsi podatki so shranjeni v Repozitoriju Univerze v Ljubljani. Njihov potencial je po eni strani v nadaljnji potrditvi rezultatov, predstavljenih v izvirnem znanstvenem članku (oddan) o stavbi 24 na Pungrtu. Še pomembnejše pa je, da delujejo kot referenčna zbirka, ki je v pomoč pri prepoznavanju apnenih premazov, interpretaciji različnih mikrostratigrafskih zaporedij zemljenih in apnenih podov ter identifikaciji različnih vrst mikro-odpada, zlasti tistih, povezanih s kovaštvom. V repozitoriju je baza podatkov razdeljena na več zip datotek, ki sledijo njeni strukturi (natančneje opisani v datoteki Opis podatkov): 1. Macro-stratigraphy (1. Macro-stratigraphy.zip) 2. Micro-stratigraphy (2. Micro-stratigraphy.zip: folder 2 with subfolder 2.1.) 2.1. Sampling locations 2.2. Thin section high-resolution photos (2.2. Thin section high-resolution photos.zip) 2.3. Microphotographs (2.3 Microphotographs.zip) 3. Macro-artefacts (3. Macro-artefacts.zip) 4. Micro-artefacts (4. Micro-artefacts.zip: folder 4 with subfolders 4.1. to 4.4.) 4.1.
