Abstract
As part of the Archaeological Heritage of Baranja project, research continued on the Batina – Sredno site to investigate the grave architecture of tumulus 1 whose chamber was researched in 2012. Outside the tumulus 1, four graves were explored: one skeleton burial from Hallstatt period and three Roman cremation graves.
During the research, detailed record of filling of the layers in tumulus 1 was determined and postholes discovered as part of a wooden fence around the tumulus. Also, a Roman cremation grave was discovered with a large number of finds from the period of Marcus Aurelius.
Results have confirmed that Batina is an extraordinary archaeological site in the Croatian Danube Region with precious data from the transitional period between Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, as well as insight into the Ad militare limes fort.
