Sažetak
During April and May of 2019, archaeological firm Kaducej d.o.o. conducted a rescue excavation at Donja Cerovačka cave, near Gračac. The archaeological excavation covered an area of 210 square meters along the route of the future pathway. Despite the assumption that the archaeological features in the cave were mostly destroyed by recent interventions and past archaeological and geological excavations, many intact archaeological features were discovered throughout the entire excavated area. At least two occupation phases dated to the Late Bronze Age were recognized, although the depth of archaeological layers generally does not exceed 15 centimetres. The authors will present the excavation methods and documentation techniques as well as the results of the preliminary analysis of archaeological stratification in Donja Cerovačka cave, with emphasis on the difficulties that accompany large-scale archaeological excavations in caves.
