Abstract
Archaeological test excavations of the lowland settlement (gradište) of Veliki Zdenci – Crni Lug brought exceptional results, which provided insights into the 13th century, when the fortification was built, in, and the first half of the 16th century, when it was abandoned, but also into how the fortification was built and reconstructed in various phases. The wide spectrum of ceramic tableware, especially from the second horizon of the fortification (15th c.), indicates the status of the fortification owners, who furnished their castle in line with the fashion and status standards of the European aristocracy of the time.
