Earli medieval warriors equipment in region between the Mura, the Drava, the Sava and the Danube river in the light of the archaeological sources

U ovom radu obrađujem razdoblje ranog srednjeg vijeka na prostoru međurječja Mure, Drave, Save i Dunava. Razdoblje ranog srednjeg vijeka obuhvaća razdoblje od osnivanja I. avarskog kaganata do dolaska Kolomana na vlast, odnosno od 568. do 1095. godine. Tijekom cijelog ovog razdoblja dolazi do velikih vojnih, političkih i gospodarskih promjena. Konstantnim ratovanjima između Avara, Slavena i Franaka, a kasnije i Bugara i Mađara na području međurječja je ostala velika količina oružja i opreme ratnika. S obzirom da se radi o kompleksnoj temi, cilj ovog rada je bio na jednom mjestu okupiti i sažeto opisati oružje i opremu ratnika koja je pronađena na nekropolama, u pojedinačnim grobovima ili kao slučajan nalaz. Iz tog razdoblja najznačajnijim nalazima pripadaju koštana ojačanja lukova pronađena na grobljima bjelobrdskog kulturnog kompleksa te franačkih mačeva kao slučajan nalaz u vodotocima rijeka.Subject of this paper is period of the early middle ages in the region between the Mura, the Drava, the Sava and the Danube river. The period of the early middle ages covers the period from the establishment of I. Avar khaganate to Collomanus arrival to power, from 568 to 1095 year. Throughout this period there are major military, political and economic changes. Constant warfare between the Avars, Slavs and Franks, and after them, also with the Bulgarians and Hungarians in the region between the rivers left large quantity of weapons and warriors equipment. Given that this is a complex and extensive subject, the goal of this paper is to gather and briefly describe the weapons and warrior equpiment which was found in the cemeteries, in individual graves or as an incidental finding. The most important findings from this period belong to reflex bows in cemeteries of Bijelo brdo cultural complex and to Frankish swords as an incidental findigs in rivers
