Abstract
The paper contains a more detailed presentation of the finds from the late Hallstatt settlement in Zbelava – Pod Lipom, in the Varaždin district of Podravina. The analysis lays special emphasis on the structures that represent significant elements in the settlement layout, as well as on the chronologically and culturally important metal and selected ceramic finds. They point to a cultural connection of northwestern Croatia with the neighbouring areas, primarily with the important centres of the late Hallstatt culture in Slovenia, but also with the contemporary sites in western Hungary and eastern Croatia. The value of these finds lies in the fact that they represent well-documented settlement finds from late Hallstatt, which still remain a relative rarity in the territory of northern Croatia.
