Abstract
This paper presents the recent excavations of two Late Bronze Age archaeological sites on the edge of the Ljubljana Marshes. The newly discovered urn burial from Matena has been associated with the settlement in Iška Loka. Both sites have been linked to the sites of the Oloris-Podsmreka Horizon in Slovenia, which belong to the broader cultural circle of the Virovitica Group. The sites of the Oloris-Podsmreka Horizon occur over a long period of time; from the second half of the 15th cent. to the end of the 13th cent. BC, i.e. Bz C/D–Ha A. Both sites presented in this paper are dated to the later part of the Bz D phase (13th cent. BC).
