Iron-Age-Danube Interreg DTP in Jalžabet, re- imagining archaeological landscape

Jalžabet, Martijanec and Zbelava are considered to be well known sites of the Early Iron Age in Podravina (NW Croatia). Although the sites helped us immensely to understand the development of the Early Iron Age in north Croatia, many important aspects concerning the sites, but also concerning the Early Iron Age landscape were still missing. This was the primary thought behind the decision on participation of the Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb in the “Monumentalized Early Iron Age Landscapes in the Danube River Basin” (“Iron-Age-Danube”) Interreg DTP project. 1 The idea was to use modern instruments like LiDAR or geophysics together with the classic archaeological methods to research, protect and present the important archaeological landscape in Jalžabet. Regretfully, in September 2017, during the implementation of the Iron-Age- Danube project, the archeological team of the Institute of Archeology verified that Gomila in Jalžabet – one of the most famous prehistoric monuments of the Republic of Croatia and one of the rare gigantic unexplored prehistoric burial mounds in Central Europe – was looted and severely damaged during the robbery.
