Virovitica − Korija, Rescue Arcaeological Excavation 2005

Tatjana Tkalčec

Sažetak

The Virovitica-Korija site is situated in the agricultural zone north of the Virovitica-Koprivnica road, approximately 3,5 km from the centre of the town. Rescue excavations were performed on the entire surface of the construction zone of the planned western Virovitica ring-road, approximately at 18 m wide and 280 m long, based on a co-ordinate network placed in the north-south direction (5 x 5 m quadrant), and divided into 20 m sectors, forming a total of 14 sectors. The remains of the prehistoric settlement are represented by structures and artefacts concentrated in sector III and sporadically in sectors II and IV (Fig. 1). The smaller and shallower sunken features and artefacts found further east are probably natural or recent phenomena. Out of about ten larger features (irregular in form, dimensions up to 3 x 2,5 m) and four smaller features (probably the remains of pillars or smaller pits) only three features were rich in pottery finds (SU 008, SU 010, SU 028), while in others sporadic finds of pottery and daub (Fig. 2) were discovered. Based on the facture and form of the ceramic vessels, the site can preliminarily be dated to the late Neolithic or early Aeneolithic, the late phase of the Sopot Culture. The prehistoric settlement probably extended longitudinally in the NW-SE direction, and the designated route of the planned ring-road included only a minor part.
