The is no summary for this sea Archaeological excavation of tumulus in Kakarickagoraenforced within the period from 12 11 - 10. 12. 2015. A professional team was formed of: archaeologistLenkaSaveljić-Bulatović – research director, archaeologists MilošŽivanović,DejanDrašković, Ivana Živanović, conservator MilicaŽarić. Supervision over the present research was carried out by archaeologistDejanGazivoda. Kakarickagora is located in the southeastern part of Montenegro, in the Municipality of Podgorica. It is a little more than four kilometers from the capital. On Kakarickagora extends a few stone tumulus, which may belong to the Bronze or Iron Age. Mounds of stone or earth are a phenomenon that is linked to the burial of different groups of people during the Iron Age. On the territory of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatian and southwestern Serbia burials under tumuli are tied with approximately mid eneolita until the end of the Iron Age. The tumulus, which consisted of large and small pile of rocks, the height of 2m and 10m in diameter, located in the northwestern part of the drywall constructed fortifications 40x40m with four circular towers at the ends. The entire site is located on the highest point Kakarickegore. First, after cleansing the terrain and the very walls of the fortification densely overgrown shrubs removed the first level of the stones from the top of the tumulus, when it became clear that the tumulus is actually on the north and east sides has perimeter walls length 6-7 m, thickness of 0.7 m. These two walls, it turned out later, the burial chamber closed 4x4m. After removes stones from the north and east side of tumulus was clearly define wall that slopes into three levels to the ground.To the west and south sides of tumuli are two stone walls enclosed rooms, measuring 5x2 m and 5x1m.In the antechamber 1, on the west side, was open the control trench ( 4x0,5m) where are occurs live rock. It is interesting that the outer face of the walls on the north and east of the tumulus was done beautifully, while the one on the south and west, very bad.These two walls on the north and east sides have a nice aspect and on the inside wall too, while the south and west walls of the burial chambers were subsequently given for these walls and have no inner face.In the middle of the tumulus came to the level of the ground at a depth of about 1.5 meters compared to the current maximum height of tumulus, and during stone removal is ordered many items that are exclusively linked to the military.Cyst therefore not found or traces of disruption can be seen in the fact that it is a meter deep dislocated found fragmented human bones (probably part of the tibia) and several smaller bones.In the middle of the burial chamber was opened 2x2m sounde in which there was no archaeological finds. First was removed layer of dark brown soil mixed with stone and recent material (SJ 1).Just below there is a layer of very compact redish-dark countries (SJ 2), by which the removal of coming up to the living rock (SJ3). The tumulus is difficult to datedbecause during the research they are revealed only scattered human bones and fractional. It is evident that the tumulus was robbed of what we find confirmation in the middle of the tumulus, where they found a broken stone slabs. Only after the dating method C 14 i we can further specify the location. Preventive been preserved all the inner walls of the burial chamber, the walls anteroom and southwest corner of the burial chamber, due to the danger of further collapse. All the stone tumulus is arranged on the west and east of the tumulus. son.

Archaeological excavations at the Kakaricka gora site were carried out by the Public Institution Museums and Galleries of Podgorica in the period May 20 – Jun 09. 2016. Archaeological excavation was aimed at removing the first layer of stone from the entire surface of the tumulus, which is 15 m wide and up to 2 m high. It is a stone tumulus. On the west side, its outer rim, ie the ring, is defined, which consists of larger irregular boulders of living rock. After removing the first layer, the tumulus was pierced in the middle to reach the central tomb. At a depth of about 1 m from the highest point of the tumulus, a central cyst-type tomb was found, smaller in size, located between two living rocks. The construction of this tomb consisted of laterally placed stone slabs, as well as a cover panel 12 cm thick and 135 cm long. The panel was broken into two unequal parts. The orientation of the tomb is east-west. A part of the hand bone was found in the tomb, probably a fragmented ulna and a radius. There were no archeological finds. About 1.3 m from the central tomb, another grave was found, the construction of which consisted of vertically placed slabs. The tomb, oriented north-south, placed on bedrock, measures 1.3 x 0.6 m, while the cover panel measures 1.65 x 0.8 x 0.5 m. Only part of the tooth was found in the grave. Inside the tumulus ring, a layer of small stones was cleared, followed by a layer of earth in which silver Turkish coins dating to the 16th-17th centuries were found. Also found were 2 fragments of pottery, one red-baked and chronologically very sensitive, and the other part of the belly of the pot was roughly made, black-crossed, with visible impurities. In the same layer, a painted artifact was found (flint) the lower part of which served as a blade. Mounds of stone or earth are a phenomenon that is linked to the burial of different groups of people during the Iron Age. On the territory of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and southwestern Serbia burials under tumuli took place from approximately, the middle eneolitìhic period until the end of the Iron Age. On Kakaricka gora are found a few stone tumuli, which may belong to the Bronze or Iron Age. Research has not gave accurate results. What we can assume based on the tomb constructions is that it is a tumulus from the Bronze Age. Unfortunately, like many tumulus already explored in the area, this one was robbed. Apart from the lack of osteological material, this is also indicated by the lack of archeological findings, of which only a few were found on the surface of the entire tumulus.
