The Late Bronze Age cemetery of Žadovinek near Krško, Slovenia
Abstract
Cremation graves were found northwest of Žadovinek near Krško in 1987. Rescue excavations uncovered 25 graves, containing Sirolo type pin, spirally twisted torc with pointed ends, circlets for hair with interlacing and pseudo-interlacing, amphorae, vessel with a perforation in the wall, cups with handles extending above the rims, spindle-whorl. The excavated area was part of a larger Late Bronze Age cemetery, whose extent was not fully established. The closest analogies to the excavated graves can be found at the nearby cemetery of Gomilice near Dobova. In the past few years, settlements have also been detected in the vicinity, so that in the area of the natural passage/gates at the Brežiška vrata six cemeteries and four settlements of the Dobova group are known from the period of the Late Bronze Age.
Keywords: Slovenia, Žadovinek near Krško, Late Bronze Age, cremation cemeteries, Dobova group
