Sažetak
The 2016 revision excavation of tumulus IV in the Kaptol-Čemernica
cemetery in the Požega Valley resulted in new insights into this
very important monument. It was established that, rather than
containing five graves (with the largest of them square in shape,
belonging to a high-ranking warrior), the tumulus contained a
monumental wooden burial chamber holding two wooden boxes,
and a ritual corridor (dromos) extending to the south. The material
found in the grave originates from various sources. The Greco-
Illyrian helmet and greaves were produced by Greek workshops,
while the horse gear is associated to the Carpathian Basin, and
the axe to the southern Pannonian region, or south-eastern Alps.
The multi-headed pins and pottery generally belong to the Eastern
Hallstatt Circle, while belts of the Libna type can be associated
with the Lower Carniola. The discovered material originates from
various periods. While the axe and horse gear belong to the very
beginning of the Hallstatt period, the Libna-type belt and multiheaded
pins are later, and the most recent objects found in the
grave – the Greco-Illyrian helmet and greaves – belong to the second
half or the end of the 7th c. BC. Even though the small number
of new finds has not considerably modified the grave inventory, it
has allowed its new interpretation.
