Sažetak
In autumn 1999, in Baranya village Vardarac, at the building site of a family house in Ribarska street (map 2:2) a grave with encrusted Southtransdanubian ceramics was found. Vardarac is situated on the road to Lug and Kneževi vinogradi, in the west of Kopački rit. There are some other finding places of the above group: Almaska (map 2:1), Selefeldek (map 2:3) northeast, or south of the village respectively at the distance of about 1,5 -2 km. (MINICHREITER, K. 1984, 36, ISTA, 1987, 64,134, 135,139; ŠIMIĆ, J. 1984, 31; T. 7,3 -6; , 2000, 135,136).
Museum of Slavonia in Osijek had probed and dug up burned grave without urn, with 23 vessels.(ŠIMIĆ, J.
1999, 71-74) The grave was oval in shape and elongated in the direction east-west. It was 1,27 m long and 0,30m deep, i.e. between 0,40m and 0,70m from the surface. The bones had were rinsed from ashes and soot and laid on the bottom of the grave and covered with fragments of three bigger pots. On top of that, twenty-three vessels of different sizes were placed. Some of the shapes were typical for the Group with southtransdanubian encrusted ceramics. Pots belong to shapes A2, variants a and b and A3 variants d and 3 (ŠIMIĆ.J.
2000, 32-35 fig. 4.1). Jugs belong to shapes Cl, variants a and b, C2, variant a and C3. (ŠIMIĆ, J. 2000, 37.38, fig. 4.3), whereas bowls belong to shapes Bl, variants
a,b,c,e (SIMIC, J. 2000, 37-38 fig. 4.2). Only jug number 8 (T.2:2) differs from the usual shapes and by its high cylindrical neck reminds of the forms of Grave mounds culture.
Among the enclosed vessels there are 9 pots, 7 jugs and 7 bowls. All of them, apart from jug number 8, are decorated in a way that is typical for this group and encrusted in white paint. Most of the vessels are less than 10 cm high, and only five five of them higher than 10 cm. On the average, the highest are the pots (15,20-10 cm) then jugs (10,6 - 5,6cm) and bowls (8,5-5,5cm).
Although two more pits had been done at the site of the grave, no other grave was found. In the first pit two shallow holes with mixed Bronze-age and medieval pottery were found, whereas in the other one there was a hole with some Southtransdanubian encrusted ceramics, (fig. 11).
The above doesn't mean that the necropolis of the Group with southtransdanubian encrusted ceramics wasn't situated at that location that, unfortunately has been partly devastated due to construction works and agriculture. The nearest locality of the above group is Almaska, probably the settlement to which this cemetery might have belonged.
