Research results of the La Tène culture cemetery at Zvonimirovo – Veliko polje in 2018

Sa？etak The continuation of the rescue excavations on the site of Zvonimirovo – Veliko polje included the western slope of the central part of the elevation where there were cremation graves of the La Tène culture. The graves that stand out for their size and the depth of their pits are LT 122 and LT 125, with small piles of cremated bones lying next to ceramic vessels and weaponry items such as swords in scabbards, spears, and shield bosses. The excavations also uncovered two graves where the only weaponry item was a single spear. In female graves, aside from ceramic vessels, there were costume and jewellery items; a grave of particular notice is LT 123, damaged by ploughing, which contained the remains of three ceramic vessels and parts of a bronze belt of the “Hungarian” type with rectangular segments. The typological characteristics of the found weaponry and costume and jewellery items date the graves to LT C2 phase (Mokronog IIb)
