Sažetak

This paper examines two early medieval cemeteries situated on the northern slopes of Danilsko Polje (Danilo Plain). The cemetery at Luguše was accidentally discovered during the construction of a water supply system, when four graves were destroyed. No archaeological excavation was conducted at this site, but a geomagnetic survey of the surrounding area was undertaken in 2022. The cemetery at Eraci, excavated in 1971, has not yet been published in detail. Both are small, short-period cemeteries, likely associated with individual hamlets. Analysis of the burial customs, grave chamber architecture, and particularly the jewellery finds, suggests a 10th-century date for the cemetery at Eraci. This dating is supported by 14C analysis of a human skull sample recovered during a 2022 revisionary investigation.
