Abstract
The additional rescue archaeological excavations of the AN 3 Petrijevci – Španice site, on the route of the D34 state road bypassing Petrijevci, uncovered a prehistoric settlement standing on a gentle elevation near the former course of the River Karašica. The western part of the site contained pits and post-holes with Urnfield culture ceramic fragments; in fact, the excavations comprised the south-western edge of the settlement. Numerous ditches were recorded along the entire length of the excavated area, probably reflecting the land divisions of the time, and a part was dug for the railway in the early 20th century.
