Two Early Iron Age hoards from Gobavica above Mengeš
Abstract
Two hoards of mixed composition were discovered in 1997 and 1998 at the site of Gobavica above Mengeš. They mainly contain fragments of Bronze Age axes, predominantly shaft-hole axes. In addition to axes, both hoards also contain fragments of annular jewellery and fibulae. The axes from the hoards are dated to the period between the 10th and 8th centuries BC, the annular jewellery and fibulae to the Hallstatt period, and partly even to the Late Hallstatt period, marking the end of deposition in the hoards. In terms of analogies, the hoards from Gobavica above Mengeš are comparable to the hoards of Šempeter, Gradišče above Gornja Košana, Kranj, and Dragomelj II.
