Sažetak
The renovation of the Church of St. George in Mateško Selo, southeast of Generalski Stol, included archaeological rescue excavations and research from 1999 to 2001. They discovered and defined many phases of the church, characterized by the fact that it was built with numerous recipients and lids of Roman stone urns, which served as very suitable and flexible building materials. 170 graves were uncovered: 29 inside the church and 141 outside it. The earliest graves were dated to the late 12th century and the early 13th century, which is why the oldest phases of the church were dated to the same period or a little earlier. The youngest graves were dated to the early 19th century, when the building became a parish church and the burials were discontinued. Numerous finds around and near the graves turned out to be the remains of older, destroyed graves: devotional objects (medals, crosses, rosary beads), parts of clothes (buttons, buckles, metal thread) and jewellery (fingerings, beads, pins, earrings). These finds, 158 in total, are the main theme of this paper. Exploration of such graves from the Late Middle Ages and the Modern Age is exceptionally important for dating the particular phases of the church by analysing the relations between graves and architecture, but also for gaining knowledge about costumes and funerary rites of the inhabitants of this part of the Karlovac region.
