Sažetak
Archaeological rescue excavations of the La Tène cemetery Zvonimirovo-Veliko polje continued in 2008 in the northern part of the elevation, where six incineration graves (LT 69-LT 74) were found. Particularly worth mentioning is the find of a double grave LT 74 containing a Celtic warrior’s weapons and parts of a woman’s attire as burial goods (Fig 3). A whole glass armring made of colourless glass with a yellow foil on the inside, belonging to series 25, in grave LT 70 (Fig. 1) is an extraordinarily significant find. Also, among the pottery objects, a kantharos on a foot from grave LT 73 stands out, with two moulded, ribbonshaped handles, decorated with concentric circles motifs, connected with arch made of sequences of small imprints (Fig.2). The finds from graves LT 69-LT 74, situated in the northern part of the cemetery, can be dated to the older stage of LT C2 (Mokronog IIB), i.e. the late third and first half of the second centuries BC, which corresponds to the understanding of burial rites in that part of the cemetery thus far. Since a part of the graves is partially destroyed due to intense soil cultivation, it is necessary to continue excavations at the northern part of the elevation.
