Sažetak
In autumn 1934. engineer Radoslav Franjetic supervised the excavation of earth on the bank of the Drava, north of farmer "Calvary" (1-5), at the area of 10x47 m and in 1952. reported about that in the text which he presented to the Museum of Slavonia and which is shown here.
Besides findings from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman times, and early Middle Ages, seven deep and narrow "wells" were also found. Franjetic supposes they are the remains of Celtic iron foundry and smelter.
The author compares this text with contemporary newspaper articles and reports which Franjetic sent to Dr. Danica Pinterovic, director of the Museum of Slavonia in 1952. They vary mutually, so the author tries to establish the real
facts. It is not easy because the findings from that location can not be identified in the Museum any more (for various reasons!).
In the "Supplement" Franjetic also writes about the remains of Roman aqueduct, explored at the same time. The author also writes about Franjetic's theory on double bulwarks of Mursa, which he created according to the plan from 1786, found by himself, and the foundations found in 1932. near the excavation site. The author thinks that theory is not true.
Nevertheless, Franjetic's manuscript gives a number of important information for the oldest history of Osijek, and that's the reason why it is elaborated here.
