The Unknown Known: New archaeological “clothes” of Ritešić – work in progress
The Illyrian helmet is one of the most distinctive archaeological finds - as a symbol of authority and a historical attribute it held a prominent place in mythologies of many Early Iron Age Balkan communities. The situation is similar today – figuratively speaking as far as the archaeological literature is concerned. With the announcement of the well-preserved Illyrian helmet our jubilarian Rastko Vasić attached such a quality to Ritešić, an archaeological site near Doboj in the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The helmet from Ritešić thus became the only known fact about the archaeology of that area. Moreover, the same burial mound, where the helmet was found, included a large collection of finds that are kept in the Museum in Doboj. Although being reduced in quantity, the remaining finds of attire, military equipment of the deceased and contributed set of ceramics suggest, that a group of prominent people of that area must have been buried there. Apart from what is already known about Ritešić, this paper will present what has been unknown so far, as its new archaeological “clothes”. It will update our knowledge about the Iron Age elites from the western Balkan area.
