Abstract
The trial archaeological excavation carried out by trial trenches at the Jagodnjak – Ciglana and Čemin – Ciganska pošta sites during October 2013 was undertaken with a view to determining the nature and extent of the archaeological site. It was established that archaeological finds cluster in two spatially discrete zones. The first zone extends on two elevations over which the western arm of the connection road will pass, and on the extreme northern part of the main route of the motorway (marked AS 10A). In addition to habitation elements from various historical periods (late Neolithic/Eneolithic, Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages), a medieval (?) row cemetery was documented, too. The second zone lies in the southern part of the planned area of the main motorway route (marked AS 10B). The entire area is covered by fragmented remains of prehistoric—Bronze Age—pottery, coming from the remains of a very thin and poorly preserved prehistoric layer lying at a shallow depth immediately beneath the topsoil, which yielded several prehistoric, but also ancient archaeological contexts.
