Abstract
This paper presents the results of rescue archaeological excavations conducted at Kurilovec–Belinščica in 2006. The site is located in the Turopolje region, in the lowland area along the Sava River near Zagreb. The excavations covered an area of 2500 m2, and revealed a part of a Bronze Age settlement. An analysis of the site and finds was conducted according to the relative and absolute chronological framework. The statistical, typological and chronological analyses of pottery were done, and a special typological classification of pottery vessels was established. After examining the characteristics of the finds and the site, and based on the results of radiocarbon analysis, several time cycles in the development of the settlement were recognized. The position was settled from the Middle Bronze Age (Br B2/Br C – Br D), and the site also yielded a spatially segregated phase dated to the Ha A phase.
