Archaeological excavations at the Kurilovec – Belinščica site

Tijekom rujna i listopada 2016. godine, u suradnji Instituta za arheologiju i Arheološkog muzeja u Zagrebu, provedena su arheološka iskopavanja na nalazištu Kurilovec ‒ Belinščica. Cilj ovogodišnjih istraživanja bio je provjeriti rezultate ranije provedenih nedestruktivnih arheoloških istraživanja ciljanim sondažnim iskopavanjem manjeg segmenta prostorno i geofizički izmjerene površine. Iskopavanjima je potvrđeno postojanje starog korita potoka smještenog neposredno uz ostatke brončanodobnog naselja. U njegovim je zapunama pronađen pokretni arheološki materijal koji odgovara vremenu funkcioniranja naselja.In cooperation of Institute of Archeology and Archaeological Museum in Zagreb archaeological excavation at the Kurilovec – Belinščica site was conducted during September and October of 2016. The main goal of the research was verification of the results obtained by previously conducted non-destructive prospections through targeted excavation of a small segment of surface which was geophysically measured and on which terrestrial topographic survey was conducted. The obtained results represent a confirmation of the assumption that several meters from the remains of the Bronze Age settlement the old stream bed is located. Archaeological material found in sediments that filled it corresponds to the period when settlement functioned
