Sažetak

The 2012 excavations in the northern and eastern parts of the village of Sotin covered an area of 670 m2. The discovery of a part of a pithouse of the Baden culture helped establish the southern boundary of the Eneolithic settlement. Most of the collected data pertains to the Early Iron Age. A total of 11 burials—9 cremation and 2 inhumation burials—of the Dalj group were excavated. The cremation burials yielded rich ceramic sets that consisted, in addition to the urn, of up to 10 vessels. One inhumation burial contained hair jewellery composed of spiral bronze rings—otherwise a common type of find also in the cremation burials—and a small ceramic pot. Besides the difference in the burial rite, another conspicuous difference is the lack of ceramic vessels in inhumation burials.
The investigations also covered peripheral parts of a civilian settlement from the Roman period and the remains of roads, whereas Roman graves were not found, which points to the edge of the eastern necropolis of Cornacum. The investigations corroborated the southern fortification ditch and an accessory structure from the Early mediaeval settlement, known already from the 2008 excavation.
