Abstract
In the period from 22nd August until 6th September 2007 a continuation of rescue archaeological excavations was conducted on the site Veliko Polje in Zvonimirovo. The excavation was done on the northern edge of the elevation on which the site is located, encompassing the area between the orchard and the road Zvonimirovo-Gaćište. It was found one grave (LT 68) with cremated remains of a woman belonging to the La Tène culture. This is the northernmost burial on the cemetery. The cremated bones of the woman were placed in a heap with accessories in the western part of a rectangular grave with rounded edges. To the costume belongs a woven iron belt with stick-like iron buckle of the Brežice type, three bronze and one iron fibula of the Middle La Tène type, while the jewellery included melted fragments of a bracelet of colourless glass with remains of yellow foil. The finds from the grave LT 68 can be dated into LT C2 (Mokronog IIb), i.e. at the end of the 3rd and first half of the 2nd century B.C.
