Sažetak

This paper discusses archaeological finds and sites, which have been discovered in the territory of the municipality of Radoboj in Hrvatsko zagorje and which are dated to various periods of prehistory. The majority of archaeological finds and sites was discovered during the archaeological field survey project of the municipality of Radoboj. The project covered the whole municipality territory, which made Radoboj the first municipality in northwestern Croatia with an official register of archaeological sites and finds and archaeological map based on field survey results. The archaeological finds and sites are presented in the article taking into account their chronological parameters, starting from the oldest periods (e.g. paleolithic) and proceeding towards the more recent ones. Periods of the hunter-gatherer groups are presented with several working camps and base camps, as well as with several accidental archaeological finds. The very first settlements in the Radoboj area can be traced to the Late Phase of the Neolithic period and to the Copper Age. Besides the settlements, those periods are also presented with accidental chipped and polished lithic finds. Dating from the periods of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age three hilltop settlements, one barrow necropolis, and some accidental finds of pottery were discovered on the Strahinjščica Mountain. The barrow necropolis Podstenje, the only Late Halstatt Period necropolis discovered in northwestern Croatia, is discussed in greater detail as it was also the first archaeological site in the territory of northwestern Croatia, excavated between 1850 and 1860. The results of the revision research of the necropolis are also presented.
