Abstract
In the course of many years of dredging gravel at the Koprivnica
gravel pit of Jegeniš, numerous iron and other archaeological
objects have come to light. Elements of equestrian equipment
from the Zvijerac Collection are presented here. The selected
objects, including horse bits and several types of iron stirrups
of various dimensions, belong to the early medieval period.
The objects are compared to the closest analogous finds and,
together with previously published significant archaeological
finds from the same gravel pit, indicate a considerable intensity
of occupation of this area along the River Drava during several
centuries of the early Middle Ages.
