Popis: In past decade extensive archaeological excavations were conducted on several Late Bronze age sites in the eastern part of Croatia. On basis of results of these excavations it is possible to speculate on settlement patterns, customs and rites characteristic for Late Bronze age populations of that region.Stratigraphy of the settlements can be divided in two main phases. The first character ized by the elements of the Late Tumulus Culture and Urnfield Culture and the second characterized by elements of Belegiš II culture. Cemeteries connected with these settlements show different picture. It is important to note that not a single element of Belegiš II Culture pottery was found in furnishings of excavated graves, what is not in accordance with finds in the settlement features. Same pattern is established on majority/all Late Bronze Age settlements excavated in that area.This situation raises many questions about nature of presence of Belegiš II Culture pottery style and consequently about presence of Belegiš II population in this region. This paper will address these questions and propose possible answers to them
