Urnfield Culture Knives in Croatia

Dunja Glogović

Abstract

Most knives’ fragments have been found in hoards (descending):
Brodski Varoš, Beravci, Podcrkavlje, Mačkovac,
Poljanci II, Otok–Privlaka. One knife has been
found in each of the hoards: Bošnjaci, Budinšćina, Dabar–
Marina, Donja Bebrina, Dolina, Ivanec Bistranski,
Kapelna, Lonđica, Mačkovac I (Crišnjevi), Malička, Podrute,
Poljanci I and Topličica. The Urnfield necropolis
Velika Gorica yielded a couple of interesting knife types
of the late Urnfield culture, e.g. of the type Seeboden, an
antenna-handle knife, etc. Among isolated finds there is a
knife of the Egelsheim type from Ivanska, which is the oldest.
The knife from Torčec has a special shape and has
been subject to ICP AES analysis, and the results were
compared to corresponding investigations of Bronze Age
finds in Slovenia (Hočko Pohorje, Pekel, Udje). Only two
fragmented knives have been found within the context of
a settlement – the knife from Novigrad on Sava River and
the knife from Pogorišće.
