Japodsko naselje (?) na Gradini u Ripču
Japodic settlement (?) ‘Gradina’ in Ripač

Summary/Abstract: Hill ‘Gradina’ is placed at the right side of river bank Una, closely to the centre of Ripač village. Of the four test trenches, without any findings were trenches I-III, while the trench IV (5x1,5 m), North-South oriented, excavated to the subsoil on the depth of 3,32 m; gave prehistorically material that respond to findings from the settlement (Plan 1-2). The impression is that fortification wall (?) of this hill-fort settlement (oriented NW-SE) have been cut. Levee of cracked stones, that represents the core of the fort-wall, is strongly cut on the north side, where the layer was solely filled by pottery fragments and animal bones. So it was assumed that there was a trash pit (or some ditch), buried into northern side of the wall on upper and into subsoil on lower side. Through the whole depth of the trench appeared lumps of burned earth (burned clay-house plaster). Some of those had very regular shape, dimension 15x15 cm, alike to burned bricks.
