Jewellery made of bronze sheets from the prehistoric necropolis at the village of Velebit, near Kanjiza

– In 1970, a Bronze Age necropolis in the village of Velebit to the north of Vojvodina was fully explored, but has remained unpublished until today. Apart from possessing all of the features of a Hügelgräber culture complex, some finds indicate connections to the Belegi{ – Cruceni culture, developed at the very south of the Carpathian basin. In this paper, we shall present only some of the most attractive finds from the necropolis, including jewellery made of bronze sheets. They include spiral greaves, a belt and finger-rings. The remaining finds shall be presented in a monograph that is being planned. The paper represents the results of the projects Archaeology of Serbia: cultural identity, integration factors, technological processes and the role of central Balkans in development of European prehistory (OI 177020) and Cultural changes and population migrations in early prehistory of the central Balkans (OI 177023) financed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia.
