Summary/Abstract: The systematic archaeological investigations of the cathedral complex in Udbina, with minor interruptions, have lasted since 2000 to this day. In the Cathedral of St James the Greater and its annexes 405 graves from the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Age were investigated. The deceased were placed in walled tombs, wooden coffins, graves with architecture and directly into the ground. Very valuable, fine, archaeological material was found amongst which jewellery (earrings and rings) dominated. Amongst the numerous graves grave 195, in which an adult woman had been buried, stands out. In the grave were found two luxurious silver earrings with three equally large beads, among which was located one cog, then a glided silver ring with an octagonal crown and an iron clasp with two pins.Based on the carried out analysis the finds in grave 195 were dated to the second half of the 14th century and the beginning of the 15th century.
