The Early Bronze Age Horizon at the Site of Gradina on the River Bosut

This paper presents and interprets both published and unpublished movable and immovable finds attributed, based on the vertical stratigraphy of the Gradina site on the river Bosut, to Layer IIIa and thus to Early Bronze Age communities known in scholarly literature as the Vinkovci–Somogyvár archaeological group. Based on the analysis of the context of the finds, the paper proposes a more nuanced interpretation of the spatial distribution of Vinkovci-type features, as well as a more precise dating of the horizon itself (the end of phase Br A1/A2, c. 2400/2350–2200 BCE).
