In the period from 12th to 16th of November 2018 geophysical research will be carried out on a multilayered archaeological site Kalinovac – Hrastova greda in Drava valley region, on a surface of 10.000 m2. A magnetic method will be applied to determine more precisely the spread of the archaeological site with traces of the iron smelting activity, as well as the remains of the settlement part of the site. Research is being carried out within the framework of the TransFER research project funded by the Croatian Science Foundation (head T. Sekelj Ivančan), and it will be conducted by Slovenian colleagues from Gearh Ltd. from Maribor (head B. Mušič).

During October and December 2018, the Institute of Archeology (Juraj Belaj) is conducting excavations of parts of the St. Luke’s church in Novska. This rescue excavation accompanies the reconstruction and extension of the sacral building from the 18th century. Already on the first visit to the site, it was established that the church sanctuary partially “sunk” on the foundations of the older, pre-Ottoman era church. This conclusion was confirmed by discovery of the first graves with money, dating to the beginning of the 15th century. But life on this very advantageous place in the very center of the city took place much earlier – along the graves, the pits with ceramics of Lasinja culture were also discovered.
Visitors to the site are – of course – welcome!
