Območje Zagorja ob Savi v prazgodovini

The region called Zagorje ob Savi (a hilly region along the Sava River) was fairly densely settled in prehistory. Traces of many prehistoric settlements and several corresponding cemeteries, ranging in date from the Eneolithic to the La Tène periods, have been found by chance but also through systematic field survey during the past hundred years. The sites are still recognizable, and hence they could be described geographi-cally and archaeologically in detail in the article. The finds are catalogued and drawn. The analysis of the topographic aspects and the archaeological material offers an image of the settlement, the burial rituals, and the exploitation of natural resources in the Zagorje region.Območje Zagorja ob Savi je bilo v prazgodovini precej obljudeno. Naključno in s sistematičnim pregledovanjem so bile v dobrih sto letih najdene sledi mnogih prazgodovinskih naselij in nekaterih pripadajočih grobišč, od eneolitskih do latenskih. Najdišča so še vedno prepoznavna, zato so lahko v predloženem članku geografsko in arheološko natančno opisana. Najdbe so katalogizirane in izrisane. Analiza topografske slike in arheološkega gradiva podaja podobo poselitve, načina pokopa in izrabe naravnih virov na območju Zagorja
