archaeology

Gozd z ledinskim imenom Gomila na zahodni strani Gerlincev.

Roman period, 2nd century

At the location of the meadow named Gomila, there are fourteen mounds, most of them are 12 to 15 m in diameter and 1.5 to 3 m in height. The largest is 30 m in diameter and 5 m in height. In there, two cremation graves were found; one of them was surrounded by a stone cladding construction and the other a cist. Mound burial was common at that time for the wider area between Austrian Styria, Posavina Croatia and western Hungary, a phenomenon that is known in the archaeological profession as Noric Pannonian mounds.

Specialist description

Na lokaciji z ledinskim imenom Gomila se nahaja štirinajst gomil, večina jih meri od 12 do 25 m v premeru in od 1,5 do 3 metre v višino. Največja ima premer 30 metrov, visoka pa je 5 metrov. Sondiranja soboškega muzeja gomile številka 6 so potrdila, da gre za rimskodobne gomile. V njej sta bila najdena 2 žgana groba, eden je bil obdan s konstrukcijo iz kamnitih oblog, drugi pa je imel kamnito skrinjo – pepelnico.
Grob v pepelnici je bil brez pridatkov, drugi pa je vseboval nekaj odlomkov grobega kuhinjskega lonca.
