Novsak). nologically dated to the year 208 ВС (Gebhard 1991, 17, Abb. 5, 95). In Slovenia, a similar fibula was found in grave 9 at Mokronog. Together with the remaining material finds it is dated to the Mokronog lib phase (Gustin 1977, 71, T. 12: 2). An earlier example is familiar from grave 24 at Dobova (Bozic 1987, 874, fig. 44: 14), and there are three similar fibulas that originate from the Formin cemetery although they lack grave contexts (Pahic 1996, T. 11: 2,3,4). Our example, whose foot measures almost as long as the bow, can be dated to the Middle La Tcne period. The Dobova analogies also indicate the possibility of a more precise chronological classification - possibly the transition between the Mokronog IIa and lib phases. A fragment of a bronze belt chain (fig. 6: 2) can be compared with those from Austria and Bavaria (Lazar 1996, 281) as well as with a select few from Slovenia (Bozic 1992, 203). They are dated to the Middle La Tcne (Lazar 1996, 281) or to the earlier phase of the Late La Tcne (Bozic 1987, 194, 197). A more detailed comparison based upon the manner of profilation indicates a closer correlation with the later pieces, such as those from Idrija near Baca - grave 1 (Gustin 1991, 92, T. 1: 1), Beletov vrt - no grave context (Knez 1992, T. 105) and finds from the Savinja river-bed - which the author plainly ascribes to the Middle La Tène (Lazar 1996, 281). Its size exceeds that of all the examples stated above and is analogous with the belt chains from the Middle La Tcne graves at Valicna vas (Terzan 1975, 689, T. 12: 1,3-5) and Cerovo log Two more fibulas of this type are in the yet unpublished graves 5 and 17. 4(Gabrovec 1966, 180, T. 29: 4). The actual belt mount is too unsubstantial a find to allow the establishment of a chronological classification more precise than the Middle or beginning of the Late La Tcne. Pottery Prior to reviewing the individual types of pottery, it should be emphasised that the material will be divided into two contexts. The earlier context represents the building structure at Smatevz (fig. 8,9) and the entire aggregation of finds from Trnava (fig. 6,7), while the later context is composed of select finds from Smatevz which do not originate from the building structure (fig. 10). The ratio of individual types represented at Smatevz and at Trnava were similar; the large majority of pottery was coarse pottery, while graphite-clay and fine-clay pottery each represented approximately 10% of the entire assemblage of pottery. Mokronog group pottery dated to the La Tène period has not yet been published in monograph form, and likewise, the majority of pottery that is analogous (Dobova, Brezice) to ours also lacks publication as of yet. In this space we present the results of the analyses carried out within the thesis of M. Novsak (Novsak o.e. 1). The most comprehensible results concerning the pottery from the earlier phase were obtained from the fine-clay pottery (fig. 6: 5-9, 8:1-7). However, the entire phase being very partial, only select pieces permit a general typological determination.
