Sažetak
A hoard containing approximately fifty metal objects was discovered in 2021 on the elongated ridge of Markovište above the settlement of Husino in northeastern Bosnia. No traces of a settlement or necropolis were observed on the surface in the immediate vicinity of the findspot. The hoard contains several chronologically indicative objects, such as single-loop fibulae of the Golinjevo type, decorated bracelets of the Lučica type, and small socketed axes with low loops, all dated to the 9th and early 8th centuries BC. In most of the western Balkans, this period marks the end of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age. Unlike most contemporary hoards, the find from Markovište consists largely of fragmented objects showing traces of long-term use, as well as items with clear technological or decorative production flaws. The composition reflects a combination of local and regional, mainly western Balkan, types. The deposition of metal objects in northeastern Bosnia – bounded by the rivers Bosna to the west, Sava to the north, Drina to the east, and Krivaja to the south – can be traced back to the beginning of the Late Bronze Age (13th century BC). What distinguishes this area within the broader context of southeastern Europe is the continuity of hoard deposition extending into the beginning of the Iron Age, as demonstrated by the Markovište hoard.
