Summary/Abstract: This work covers the historical framework, technical and photographic recording of the stecak tombstone at the Mramorje/Bektica Hill site in the Bektici settlement, Srebrenica municipality. The analysis of tombstones in the field enabled the collection of basic data about the monuments. The shape of the tombstones and the abundance of decorations usually depend on the time in which they were created. Thus, on the basis of the represented forms of stecak tombstones and niches and the recorded decorations on them, the stecak tombstones can be dated to the developed Middle Ages (XIV and XV centuries).
