Sažetak
Archaeological site Virje is situated in the Croatian lowland, on the right bank of the upper course of Drava river. On a slightly sloped area named Sušine, parts of a primary iron processing smelting workshops were discovered and explored. Since these types of sites are quite rare in northern parts of Croatia, and in order to get a better understanding of the development and organization of the site, noninvasive methods were applied. With the help of magnetic method, measurements of magnetic susceptibility and shallow drilling, waste disposals of a workshop, few pit furnaces from the Late Roman period (4th and 5th century), as well as settlement remains from Late Iron Age (3./2, and 1st century BC) were discovered. Additionally, geophysical results applied on digital elevation model in combination with aerial photography were carefully analyzed and compared with excavated archaeological structures. All the gathered information importantly contibuted and changed our views on this unique multiperiodical site and its environment.
