Prazgodovinsko in poznoantično naselje Šumenje pri Podturnu

This article discusses the elevated settlement of Šumenje near Podturn, which lies in the midst of the Lower Carniola hills east of Trebnje. Test excavation carried out in 1979 by the Museum of Lower Carniola in Novo mesto showed that the elevation was settled as early as the late Bronze Age, although it was not fortified with an enclosing wall. Individual finds also indicate short term settlement in the late La Tène and perhaps at the end of the Hallstatt period. In the period of late Antiquity, a small refugium was formed at Šumenje, surrounded by a wall. The entrance was discovered on the western side of the settlement.V članku je predstavljeno višinsko naselje Šumenje pri Podturnu, ki leži sredi dolenjskega gričevja vzhodno od Trebnjega. Manjše sondiranje, ki ga je leta 1979 izvedel Dolenjski muzej iz Novega mesta, je pokazalo, da je bila vzpetina poseljena že v pozni bronasti dobi, vendar pa ni bila utrjena z obzidjem. Posamične najdbe kažejo tudi na kratkotrajno poselitev v poznem latenu in morda ob koncu halštatskega obdobja. V pozni antiki je bilo na Šumenju manjše pribežališče, obdano z obzidjem. Vhod je bil odkrit na zahodni strani naselja
