| الوصف: | Razmatra se pitanje značenja i datacije kamenih brusova s ukrašenim usadnikom iz tzv. kneževskih grobova s Glasinačkog područja. Na osnovi opsežne analize konteksta nalaza na ovom području te na drugima pokazuje se da se prvi kameni brusovi kao grobni prilozi javljaju početkom 4. milenija pr. Kr., odnosno u vrijeme prve pojave bodeža i noževa od legiranog bakra koje je trebalo povremeno zaoštriti. Ta kombinacija brusova i bodeža predstavlja set vezanih nalaza koji upućuje na ratnika, simbolizirajući oštrinu i snagu njegova oružja. Ta će simbolika doći do punog izražaja u željezno doba, s pojavom željeznih mačeva koji se u grobovima često nalaze zajedno s brusom. Tako se umjesto brončanodobne kombinacije brusa i bodeža sada može govoriti o kombinaciji mača i brusa, kao ratničkim simbolima koji nastavljaju staru tradiciju. U tom kontekstu treba promatrati i ukrašene brusove s Glasinačkog područja i drugih dijelova Euroazije gdje se oni javljaju. Dakle, malo je vjerojatno da se tu radi o “žezlu”, odnosno obilježju individualizirane vlasti, kako se to obično misli, već je u pitanju izraz stare ratničke tradicije koja je u punoj mjeri prisutna i u bogatim grobovima željeznodobne aristokracije. The question of the significance and dating of the whetstones with decorated sockets from the so-called princely graves in the Glasinac Plateau is considered. An extensive analysis of the find context in this and in other areas has shown that the first whetstones appeared as grave goods in the early fourth millennium BC, at a time when the first copper-alloy daggers and knives that required occasional sharpening also appeared. This combination of whetstones and daggers constitutes a set of linked finds that indicate a warrior, symbolizing the sharpness and power of his weapons. This symbolism came to its full expression in the Iron Age, with the appearance of iron swords that were often accompanied in graves by whetstones. Thus, instead of the Bronze Age combination of whetstones and daggers, the combination of swords and whetstones appeared as warrior symbols that continued an older tradition. The decorated whetstones from the Glasinac area and other parts of Eurasia where they appeared should be considered in this same context. Thus, it is highly unlikely that these were “sceptres,” i.e., signs of individualized authority, as is often thought, but rather the expression of an old warrior tradition which was present to the fullest extent in the rich graves of the Iron Age aristocracy. |
