| description | The article presents the results of the investigations at Dragomelj, where habitation remains from the Urnfield period represent the northern part of a twin settlement together with the southern part at Podgorica. The unearthed residential and other buildings were poorly preserved, but did reveal numerous spinning and weaving implements, as well as a variety of pottery. Together with radiocarbon dates, they place the settlement in the Rogoza–Orehova vas horizon of the 12th and 11th centuries BC. They also show that its inhabitants engaged in spinning and weaving activities, as well as storing a hoard of copper and bronze semi-products (Dragomelj I hoard) as a complement to the metallurgy and production-oriented part at Podgorica, south of the Pšata stream.
After a centuries-long gap with no discernible traces of human presence, the area was again in use in the 7th–6th century BC. Evidence of this includes 180 bronze objects found in a secondary context. They are the remains of another hoard (Dragomelj II hoard), of the Bologna, San Francesco–Šempeter type. Together with other artefacts, it proves Early Iron Age use of the area also north of the Pšata. |
