Archaeological sites whose importance extends beyond a Slovenian framework undoubtedly include the Bronze Age settlement of Oloris near Doljni Lakos. The site was excavated in the 80's by the staff of the Regional Museum in Murska Sobota and members of the Institute of Archaeology, from Ljubljana. The first part of the publication presents the settlement, which was located in one of the bends of the Crnec stream. It was surrounded by a wooden palisade. The greatest settlement density was discovered inside the settlement in 2 gently raised sections. All that was preserved of the former dwellings were traces of holes for the vertical beams and parts of the demolished walls. In the southern part of Oloris, where a larger area was excavated, it can be seen from the plan that the houses stood closely together, with narrow passages between them. Four ovens where discovered in the courtyard among the buildings. The settlement was inhabited in the late 14th and in the 13th century BC, and remains the only systematically excavated settlement of that period in Slovenia. The second part of the monograph deals with the place of this site in the framework of Bronze Age Culture. The typology of the material is presented, with a chronological classification of the finds, as well as comparative analyses to related sites. A synthetic overview is further offered of the late Bronze Age between the Mura and Sara Rivers.
