Abstract

This work is a publication of the Siča/Lučica hoard found in the Kordun region, close to the city of Karlovac. Most of the hoard was discovered at a secondary site – the result of its movement during excavation of soil. Since the hoard’s discovery was recorded outside of the context of a settlement or cemetery, there is some question as to the purpose for this manner of deposition of items and the phenomenon of hoards in general and their possible significance. Based on the quantity of its contents (287 items) and their typological characteristics, the hoard can be classified among the mixed-content hoards dated to the second phase of the northern Croatian hoards, i.e. the Br D/Ha A.
