Petra VOJAKOVIĆ:
The Early Iron Age tumulus from Vrtičnjak above Tupaliče near Preddvor, Slovenia
Cultural and chronological classification in the framework of the southeastern Hallstatt Culture
Abstract
This article presents tumulus 8 from the site near Tupaliče in Gorenjska region. The tumulus contained a central burial chamber with a cremated body and 15 more cremated graves positioned concentrically around it. After analysis, it can be confirmed that all 16 graves belong to the Podzemelj horizon (the end of the 8th and the beginning of the 7th century BC). It is also interesting that the tumulus contained traces of a subsequent Late La Tene burial. The results of investigation at Tupaliče has opened a whole new set of questions about understanding the role of Gorenjska in the southeastern Hallstatt culture of Slovenia.
Keywords: Slovenia, Gorenjska, Vričnjak, Tupaliče, Early Iron Age, tumulus, cremation graves, central grave with stone chamber, burial of two or more individuals, Late La Tene burial
