Sažetak
A lower part of an iron spearhead was found by chance at the gravel extraction plant of Jegeniš northeast of Koprivnica during the separation of gravel extracted in the course of 2002. The piece belongs to the type of spearhead with an elongated leaf-shaped head and a socket for hafting the wooden shaft. There are two lateral wings on the decorated socket. The further separation of gravel originating from the same site produced a spearhead tip presumed to have belonged to the same object. Based on its morphological features, the newly-discovered winged spearhead from the Jegeniš gravel plant can be dated to the period between the last decade of the 8th century until the first third of the 9th century, which was corroborated by the 14C analysis of the preserved ash wood from the socket. Another winged spearhead, found on the gravel extraction plant next to the Drava river, in addition to the previously published finds, adds further weight to the assumption about the existence of a cemetery destroyed by gravel exploitation.
