Sažetak
In memory of Prof. Nives Majnarić-Pandžić (1938–2022)
Trial archaeological excavations at Novi Grad na Savi were carried out in the fall of 2021 within the HRZZ IP 2019-04-2520 research project. The goal was to find the cemetery of Novi Grad, a Late Bronze Age settlement researched in the 1970s. The locations of the five trenches on the ridge north of the settlement were chosen on the basis of surface finds of small fragments of Late Bronze Age pottery and burnt bones at the sites of Rupečica and Matkovača. The results were obtained from three trenches. In each of the two easternmost trenches there were two pits with rare finds of prehistoric pottery. In the westernmost trench, Trench 5, there was a large number of pits and postholes that can be dated to the end of the Middle Bronze Age and the beginning of the Late Bronze Age. There was also a younger pit in the stratigraphic sense; based on the ceramic fragments, it can be dated to the beginning of the younger phase of the Late Bronze Age. The results of the trial excavations at Novi Grad indicate a complex habitation picture for the Middle and Late Bronze Age in the observed area, characterized by mild elevations along the River Sava with documented intensive traces of habitation during the different development phases of the Late Bronze Age, probably influenced by changes in climate conditions and the level of the River Sava.
