Abstract
In the area of River Drava Basin there are a number of gravel or exploitation artificial ponds where exploiting the construction materials (gravel, sand) can be found a large number of indicative archaeo-logical finds. This paper will try to show the reasons for their findings and explain the manner of their appearance at the place of their discovery. Largely these are finds that are there due unintentionally, sometimes in secondary use, and archaeologists are interesting in the interpretation of certain historical community, their customs, relations to the streams etc. Accordingly, it should be noted that all these gravel pits are not real archaeological sites, but only a special place of individual archaeological finds and valuable museum objects.
