Rezultati istraživanja groblja latenske kulture Zvonimirovo - Veliko polje u 2011. godini.

Rescue excavations of the La Tène culture cemetery Zvonimirovo - Veliko Polje during 2011 were conducted on the central part of the elevation where 11 incineration burials (LT 83-LT 93) were found. For the first time the grave was recorded (LT 86) with burnt remains of the deceased with parts of the costume and jewellery, placed in a bowl used as an urn (Fig. 5). Also, a grave was found with burnt remains of the deceased without any findings. The graves in which men were buried contain armament, toiletries and parts of the costume, with the findings from the grave LT 89 standing out indeed (Fig. 4). The grave LT 83 (Fig. 2) contained toiletries (scissors, razor), whetstone, iron fibula of the Middle La Tène scheme and an iron axe laid next to the bones of the deceased, which is the first finding of this type on the Zvonimirovo cemetery. Particularly prominent are the graves of the lavishly furnished deceased women with an unprecedented parts of costumes and jewellery, such as perfectly preserved bracelets with five smooth ribs made of transparent glass with a yellow foil on the inside of the Series 27 or group 7a (Fig. 5) or iron needles with a zoomorphic head in grave LT 91. Provisions (viaticum), recorded in the graves of both sexes, consist of pottery and animal bones, mostly pork, whereas the poultry bones are more frequently found inside the bowls. The sets consisting of a pot and a bowl are the most frequent finds in the graves, but kantharoi and cups can be found as well. The grave LT83 (Fig. 2) stands out with a number of ceramic vessels found in it; i.e. four enclosed ceramic vessels. Based on the contributed armament and parts of women's and men's costumes, the graves are dated to the Mokronog IIb phase, and confirm the importance of the site in the study of the Late Iron Age in northern Croatia. Excavations were carried thanks to financial funding from the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports through the research project ''Development and Mobility of the protohistoric communities settled on the territory of Continental Croatia'' (197-1970685-0711) and financial aid received from the Ministry of Culture.

Zaštitna istraživanja nalazišta Zvonimirovo-Veliko polje u 2011. godini usmjerena su na središnji dio uzvisine na kojem su, u prijašnjim istraživanjima, pronađeni paljevinski grobovi latenske, ali i kosturni grobovi bjelobrdske kulture. Pronađeno je jedanaest paljevinskih grobova, od kojih se pojedini izdvajaju veličinom i dubinom ukopa grobne rake te odgovaraju slici dokumentiranoj 1998. godine. Po prvi puta zabilježeno je kako su u jednom grobu spaljeni ostaci pokojnice s predmetima nošnje i nakita bili položeni u zdjelu koja ima funkciju urne. Isto tako, zabilježen je i grob u kojem su pronađeni spaljeni ostaci pokojnika bez ijednog nalaza. Osim groba ratnika s naoružanjem i toaletnim priborom, izdvajaju se i grobovi bogatije opremljenih pokojnica s dosad nezabilježenim predmetima nošnje i nakita, poput cjelovito sačuvane staklene narukvice ili željezne igle sa zoomorfnom glavicom. Na osnovi priloga naoružanja te predmeta ženske i muške nošnje, grobovi se datiraju u Mokronog IIb stupanj te potvrđuju iznimnu važnost nalazišta u proučavanju razdoblja mlađeg željeznog doba u sjevernoj Hrvatskoj.
