Sažetak

Further archeological excavations of the site Torčec-Cirkvišče confirmed a previously presumed sacral character of the site. It also provided elements for ubication of St. Stjepana Kralja church from Zagreb diocese list of parishes in 1334. By comparing various written historic sources, results of archeological research and analyses of findings, the authors have presented us with a picture of multi-layered historical and archeological nature of the site. Certain findings indicate a possible pre- Tartar horizon. The site is extremely important and known for its unique (already known elsewhere, but unique in Croatia) find of a dog’s head, ritually buried in an earthenware, dating back to mid - thirteenth century. The next horizon begins with time period around fourteenth century, when a cemetery existed around the church of St. Stjepana Kralja. Already excavated part of the site shows, that burials were abandoned in late fifteenth and early sixteenth century, due to frequent Ottoman invasions. During the second half of fifteenth century in particular, the site had been a part of the outer ring of a settlement. In early and mid-seventeenth century, though, a new horizon began with digging around the church, which was rebuilt on the foundations of the old one. The first half of eighteenth century witnessed a revitalization of the place Torčec in the period 1731- 1733, leaving the site Cirkvišče and the rundown church to a new location inside the village perimeter. The excavation recovered two unique finds - infants’ bodies buried in ceramic pots, burials occuring after the graveyard site had been abandoned.
