Abstract: Sa?etak In 1950, on the then unexcavated tumulus of Gamulica near Martijanec, a transmission line pole was set up. On that occasion Martin ?tanglin, a resident of Matrijanec, found a pit in the tumulus which contained traces of a tomb with grave goods. The site was then visited by professor Stjepan Vukovi? who worked as a curator at the Department of Archaeology of the Vara?din City Museum and who collected movable finds and protected the tomb. Research led by Zdenko Vinski, PhD, as well as a detailed analysis of the finds, confirmed the exceptional status of the Martijanec-Gamulica site. However, the study did not include finds collected in 1950 by S. Vukovi?. Twenty seven ceramic and one bronze find make up a small but valuable group of finds the analysis of which will unite our knowledge of the tomb inside the Gamulica tumulus and contribute to our understanding of the Iron Age Martijanec-Kaptol group
