Abstract

Archaeological excavations in November 2020 tried to locate the flat cemetery of the Late Bronze Age settlement in Dolina. The hypothesis that the cemetery was on an elevated ridge to the west of the contemporary settlement was verified by digging three trial trenches, with negative results. This campaign also explored tumulus 15, which had been significantly lowered by ploughing. The current state of research into the funerary customs of the younger phase of the Late Bronze Age in Posavina lacks data because graves have been found only at three sites including Dolina.
