Book excerpt: The Velebit necropolis, located in the southernCarpathian Basin remains to this day an unpublished archaeological site,although it has been known for almost 50 years. It represents the onlysystematically-investigated Tumulus (Hügelgräber) culture necropolis in theterritories of Serbia and Vojvodina which has not been completely published sofar. Bi-ritual burial rites from the Bronze Age perspective of the Velebitnecropolis are not so rare in the Tumulus Culture commonwealth (Central Europe,Carpathian Basin and Transdanubian region), but the equal representation ofboth burial customs is quite uncommon. Graves from the undisturbed contexts atthe Velebit necropolis show some differences in Koszider bronze and potteryburial gifts, gender and maybe social differentiation in communities. Certainartefacts possibly indicate economic stratification and the presence ofcraftsmen (metallurgists) in these Middle Bronze Age communities, which isconsidered one of the more significant traits of the Tumulus culture.
