Sažetak
Over the past few decades, research on settlements and cemeteries of the early Urnfield Culture in the southern part of the Carpathian Basin has clearly shown the gradual transition between pottery with a strong tradition of the Middle Bronze Age, dated to Br D phase, and the appearance of fluted pottery. There are unresolved questions as regards the chronology and terminology of the Late Bronze Age, that is, the end of the 1st phase of the Urnfield Culture. In this paper we shall present the state of research on the issue of the appearance of fluted pottery in northern Croatia, with a critical review of the absolute dating of Ha A phase in northern Croatia in the framework of the wider Carpathian circle. In addition to the traditional typo-chronological method, we have also used the radiocarbon method for dating closed contexts. The border between the eastern and western circles passes through northern Croatia, and we shall present at the local level the chronological relationships during Ha A phase in settlements and cemeteries, which based on the ceramic assemblage belong to different production circles within the Carpathian Basin. The research and attempts to fix the chronology of individual ceramic forms have shown their wide distribution and embeddedness in defined local styles. A prominent problem from the perspective of the southern part of the Carpathian Basin is the association of ceramic forms with metal objects, since they were rarely found together in the same context: cremation burials rarely contain metal objects, which are often deformed by fire, while hoards rarely contain ceramic vessels. Thirty or forty years after the chronologies in the Carpathian Basin were synchronised (Vinski-Gasparini (1973, 1983), Patek (1968), Mozsolics (1968), Petrescu-Dimboviţa (1977), Vasić (1982)) there are a number of challenges and questions pertaining to chronology, although new investigations have opened other directions and suggestions for modifying the existing systems.
