From Quiz Slovenia, Land of Diversity

Answer: Bucket-shaped archeological artefact

A situla (whose name comes from the Latin word for bucket) is an elaborately-decorated bucket, usually with a handle, dating from any time between the Iron Age and the Middle Ages. Novo Mesto is an important site for the discovery of 19 situlae dating from the early Iron Age Hallstatt culture (roughly between the 8th and 6th centuries BCE). The culture is named for the Austrian village where the first typical site was discovered. The culture appears to have been linked with proto-Celtic people in the western half, and with pre-Illyrians in the eastern half, which includes Slovenia.

5. What region of Slovenia gave its name to a type of landscape formed when limestone bedrock is dissolved in running water to form underground caves and sinkholes?

From Quiz Slovenia, Land of Diversity

Answer: Karst Plateau

The Karst Plateau is found in the coastal part of Slovenia, although a portion extends north into Italy. It is considered the typical example of a karst landscape, formed when water dissolves the underlying bedrock, which may be limestone as in the Karst, or dolomite, or some other soluble mineral. The landscape and its method of formation were first clearly identified by Jovan Cvijić at the end of the 19th century, following studies in the Karst Plateau. Karst landscape typically includes sinkholes (pits caused by the surface collapsing into a hollow formed when the rock underneath it has dissolved, exposing the groundwater below as a pool), which are also called cenotes, dolines and sinks. Many karst landscapes also have underground caves. The Skocjan Caves, a UNESCO-listed site, have been a tourist attraction since at least 1819, when the first visitors' book was established. They were famed well before that, being marked on maps of the area dating from several centuries BCE. They follow the course of the Reka River as it runs underground for 34 km (20 mi) between the village of Skocjan and Monfalcone, where it becomes known as the Timavo River, and flows into Italy. The river canyon is surrounded by caves, including one of the largest in the world, Martel's Chamber.

7. The Slovenian coat of arms includes a stylized three-peaked mountain, representing the country's highest point. Which mountain, whose name means "three-headed", is being represented?

From Quiz Slovenia, Land of Diversity

Answer: Triglav

Triglav, called Tricorno in Italian and Terglau in German, is a part of the Julian Alps located in the northwestern part of Slovenia. When viewed from the right direction, its triple peak is a distinctive feature. The name, however, is probably due to it having been named after the Slavic god Triglav. Triglav was described as being formed by the fusion of three other gods, but the details of these subsumed deities varies regionally. They are generally considered to represent they sky, the earth and the underworld. He is depicted either as a three-headed man or as a man with the heads of three goats. Mount Triglav stands at the centre of Triglav National Park, which covers an area of 838 sq km (324 sq mi) and features a number of scenic lakes and waterfalls. There is still a remnant of the Triglav Glacier near the summit, but it shrank from covering 15 hectares (37 acres) n 1946 to a mere 1.08 hectares (2.67 acres) in 2008, and is likely to disappear completely within a decade. On the day when Slovenian Independence was declared, the new national flag was flown from the summit of Triglav, which had formerly been the highest point in the Yugoslav Republic.
