Sažetak
N 1967 one of Kaptol’s most famous princely burials was unearthed in tumulus IV Rich grave goods, especially imported warrior equipment, made it one of the most important EIA graves in southern Carpathian basin This discovery initiated further research of the site, which ultimately gave a large contribution to understanding Iron Age communities living on the southern brims of the Eastern Hallstatt circle It also pointed to Požega Valley, as one of the most important micro-regions in this part of the Iron Age Europe with extraordinary economic power, probably derived from control over inter-regional communication networks During the last 15 years, the Center for Prehistoric Research and a team based at the University of Zagreb launched several revision campaigns on Kaptol-Čemernica necropolis, and initiated systematic research of the other necropolis of the same settlement (Kaptol-Gradci) This research of different constructions and grave contexts gave an important insight in complex funerary practices of this community, especially regarding monumental burial structures Since no such data was recovered in tumulus IV during the 1967 campaign, a revision campaign on presumed location of tumulus IV was undertaken in 2016 The result was an elaborate structure with a massive wooden burial chamber Two wooden boxes containing pyre remains were located within the chamber Furthermore, we managed to locate the excavation trench from 1967, thus establishing a firm contextual frame for further analysis This research provided grave context for exceptional finds from tumulus IV which enabled a much better analysis of the inventory, as well as the burial practice On a larger scale, the discovery of this complex grave architecture, in combination with the other princely burial (tumulus X) and the complex structure with dromos (tumulus III) in its immediate vicinity, raises new questions about their relation.
