Nova Bukovica Sjenjak 2011

Tekst donosi sumarni prikaz arheoloških istraživanja na prapovijesnom lokalitetu u Novoj Bukovici kod Slatine koja je ekipa Instituta za arheologiju provela tijekom rujna 2011. godine. Predstavljaju se novootkriveni objekti, kao i najznačajniji pokretni nalazi koji predstavljaju vrijednu nadopunu saznanjima o životu tijekom kasnoga brončanog doba u ovom dijelu Republike Hrvatske.In 2011, after two years long recess, archaeological research in Nova Bukovica, on the position Sjenjak, near Slatina was continued. Although financial resources were reduced and the weather conditions were adverse, new elements of prehistoric settlements dating from the Late Bronze Age and late La Tène period were discovered. Our aim was to elaborate on the area investigated in 2007 and 2008 and to penetrate deeper into the structure of the Late Bronze Age settlement. This goal was achieved, and the new structures of the Late Bronze Age were discovered. Two large buried objects, SU 1019, 1020 and SU 1025, 1026, and a small kiln - which survived ploughing activities only thanks to the fact that it is located on the very edge of the field - stand out in particular. The newly discovered objects, as well as the most significant finds from Nova Bukovica represent a valuable complement to the knowledge about the life during the Late Bronze Age in these parts of Croatia
