Abstract
The paper takes a look at a small part of the movable objects from the site of Virovitica-Kiškorija South, namely glass paste bracelets from late antiquity. The importance of these finds lies in the fact that they were found within the settlement rather than within the cemetery, which is where the majority of finds of this type known from the literature comes from. Bracelets made of jet, glass and black glass paste were fashionable in late antiquity. Glass bracelets appear as early as the 1st century as the legacy of the La Tène culture, and in late antiquity starting from the beginning of the 3rd century they are also present in large numbers. Four types of bracelets were found on this site, three of which represent the most frequent types of all the 3rd and 4th century bracelets.
