Prehistory – Copper Age, Early Bronze Age, Early and High Middle Ages, Modern Period

In the Plese fallow, in Murska Sobota, a multi period archaeological site was found. The discovery unearthed debris from settlements from the Copper Age and, to a lesser degree, from the Bronze Age and the Modern Period. The biggest surprise was finding a burial site from the early Middle Ages (8th-10th century), with a new method of Slavic burial in mounds. Among the findings, the women’s jewellery stands out (necklaces and earrings) as do the knives and belt clips for men.

Specialist description

Na ledini Plese v Murski Soboti je bilo odkrito veččasovno arheološko najdišče. Odkriti so bili naselbinski ostanki iz bakrene dobe in manjši meri bronaste dobe ter naselbinski ostanki iz visokega in novega veka.
Največje presenečenje pa je bila najdba grobišča iz zgodnjega srednjega veka (8. – 10. stoletje) na katerem je bil najden tudi do zdaj pri nas nov način pokopa v gomili. Med najdbami izstopa ženski nakit (ogrlice in uhani), pri moških pa noži in pasne spone.
