簡介：
The ZSAProject is a joint venture between the University of Southampton and the Zavicajni muzej Stjepan Gruber from Zupanja (director Janja Juzbasic). The project’s purpose being to survey and excavate a Tumuli cemetery in the forest of Vrbanja. This site contains 117 tumuli, which are dated to the Late Bronze Age. Led by Dr. Sandy Budden and Andreja Malovoz (MA, MSc), the project ran its first fieldwork season in the summer of 2008. In recent years, 14 more cemeteries have been identified with over 900 tumuli located in the Spa?va Basin. The project has confirmed the date of the site as Late-Bronze Age and that it is a place of burial and the remembrance of the dead. Material remains including significant amount of pottery show the site as being created by people belonging to the Belegi? II cultural horizon.

The region of ?upanja/Vrbanja is situated in an incredibly complex location at a cultural interface of two regional groups so far argued as being distinct from one another despite both emerging from the previous Urnfield culture.The Martijanec-Kaptol group is argued to be heavily influenced by the Hallstatt cultural phenomenon that swept across large tracts of central Europe in the Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age while the Dalj are argued to adhere to their Urnfield traditions and mostly shrug off change. Influences within their material cultural repertoire that hint at a Hallstatt influence from the west or Thraco-Cimmerian nomads from the east are seen as ‘intrusions’ into the Dalj’s cultural repertoire. Influences within their material cultural repertoire that hint at a Hallstatt influence from the west or Thraco-Cimmerian nomads from the east are seen as ‘intrusions’ into the Dalj’s cultural repertoire. Interpretations of this confusing situation are so far quite limited. Systematic survey and excavation of these tumuli that Andreja has located could go a long way to redressing the poor understanding of both synchronic and diachronic relationships between all of these populations.
