Tehnical artefacts in preservation of cultural heritage

This paper places the traditional tools, devices and accessories in a historical and ethnographical context. By browsing through different historical periods of Slavonia, one gets a picture of the native population and the influence of other nations on the territory of Eastern Slavonia throughout history, which ensured the cultural pluralism of the area. Field research is intended to show the significance of earlier historical periods in the domains of material as well as spiritual culture, principally by acquisition of loan words in giving names to tools, devices and accessories. The value and authenticity of the field research, the statements acquired by talking to the collocutors – the tellers, is supported by literature. In the hope that this paper work will contribute to the preservation of the cultural inheritance of the population of Eastern Slavonia, with the help of the tellers, a lexicon has been composed, which includes the names of the traditional tools, devices and accessories, their usage and the origin of the names, which makes a whole, together with the other parts of the paper.
