Abstract

The results of many years of interdisciplinary rescue excavations at the La Tène cemetery in Veliko polje near Zvonimirovo in central Prodravina have considerably enriched the previously meager knowledge of the material remains and spiritual world of the Late Iron Age in northern Croatia. During excavations conducted in the southern section of the cemetery in 1998, the double grave LT 11 was found, which, based on its goods, was dated to the late phase of the Middle La Tène, i.e. the Mokronog IIB phase. Anthropological analysis of the incinerated bones indicates that the remains of a child were interred in the grave, while to burial of a man belong goods such as military equipment and his attire. Upon archeozoological analysis, the incinerated remains of a pig placed as a sacrifice to the deceased were also found.
