In 2013 we carried out the investigation of tumuli 9 and 5 at the position of Glavičice in Dolina. Tumulus 9 yielded grave 1 with cremated bones mixed with the remains of the pyre, potsherds and a bronze button, dating the grave to Ha B3 phase. A bronze bulb-headed pin was discovered in the fill of the tumulus. Tumulus 5, with 20 m in diameter, belongs to a group of tumuli lying closest to the northern edge of the settlement. Grave 1 was discovered immediately beneath the ploughing layer. It consisted of a rectangular timber structure with posts. The grave was filled with the remains from the pyre, on which was placed the urn with a bowl serving as the lid. On the northern side of the urn was placed a bronze bell helmet (Glockenhelm), dated to Ha B3 phase. The burial rite with grave goods in the form of a bronze defensive weapon – helmet, differs from the usual burials of the younger phase of the Urnfield culture in southern Pannonia. The fill of grave 1 yielded also abundant remains of burned bronze. Grave 2, lying beneath grave 1, yielded the remains of a pyre with cremated bones, next to which was placed a ceramic set of four vessels. The exceptional finds and results of the investigations in Dolina supplement our picture of the burial rites, with the finds from tumulus 5 significantly changing our knowledge of the relative-chronological relationships at the end of the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age in central Posavina.
