Abstract

The cemetery of the Mokronog group at Zvonimirovo-Veliko Polje in the central Podravina region stands out as the only systematically excavated cemetery of the La Tène culture in northern Croatia, with a large number of exceptionally furnished warrior grave assemblages. In addition to weapons, they also contain objects forming parts of a toilet set, pieces of male costume and grave goods consisting of ceramic vessels and animal bones. The attribution of the cemetery to the Mokronog group of the Taurisci rests on characteristic pieces of the female costume, such as certain forms of fibulae, belts and pendants, which is also corroborated by the analysis of certain ceramic forms, e.g. biconical pots with a stepped shoulder.
