Abstract

Research of the Late Bronze Age settlement at Babine grede in Dolina was carried out in the autumn of 2015. The Late Bronze Age settlement is at a natural hill next to a branch of an old watercourse. Three settlement horizons were documented in trench 1 with the remains of house floors with postholes along the edges. Pits were found between the floors, with a particularly large number of hearths, often with pottery substructure. The research revealed numerous mobile finds, most notably fragments of pottery vessels and daub, then bones, grindstones, stone tools, bronze objects (chisel, pin) and bronze slag. According to preliminary results and mobile finds, the settlement can be attributed to Ha A2 and Ha B1, i.e. 11th and 10th c. BC. Settlement at Babine grede in Dolina is contemporary to the Old Settlement in Donja Dolina (Marić 1964), while comparisons for pottery finds can be drawn also with the one in Novigrad on Sava (Majnarić-Pandžić 1993).
