Roman burning-burial grave from Vel. Loka near Žalna

Abstract

When digging the canal for the water supply they found at Velika Loka near Zalna (to the East from Grosuplje) a Roman burning-burial grave. Besides the urn there were in the grave two ceramic vessels and a glass goblet on one foot. Taking as aid the comparative material we can put the grave from Velika Loka in the time of the second half of the 1st c. A. D. Regarding the ceramic vessels from Velika Loka we can state that they are manufactured after patterns based on the La Tene tradition. Otherwise the material found is rather rare and strange among our ceramic and glass inventory from Roman times.
