a belt. Her foot position can be reconstructed based
on the location of the ribbed bronze ankle-rings, with-
in which preserved bone parts were found (Lubšina
Tušek, Kavur 2011). A fragment of a bent iron tube –
decorated with oblique lines, hammered dotted cir-
cles and most probably part of the collar – was also dis-
covered in the grave (Figure 15).
A massive bronze bracelet with a thickening end was
also discovered in the grave, representing the oldest
find of this kind in Slovenia (Figure 16). The largest
number of similar finds, with most of them slightly
younger and dating to Lt C1, were discovered in Slo-
venia at Kapiteljska njiva cemetery in Novo Mesto,
where they are known from grave numbers 199a, 402,
608, 656 and 681 (Križ 2006, 165, T. 59, 9; 198, T. 92, 4;
205, T. 99, 5; 2001, 117, No. 266, 140, No. 399; 150, No.
452; 153, No. 465). In the greater Alpine region, the dis-
coveries of massive bracelets with a thickening end are
known from grave numbers 57 (Penninger 1972, Taf.
64, 8) and 110 in Dürrnberg. The latter grave also con-
tained, among other finds, a sword of Hatvan-Boldog-
type and two bowls, comparable in form with bowls
from grave numbers 6 and 7, as well as a flask-shaped
vessel, comparable to a similar form from grave num-
