Preliminarni rezultati arheološkoga istraživanja u Batini 2017. godine ; Preliminary results of archaeological research in Batina in 2017
U okviru projekta Arheološka baština Baranje, proveden je nastavak istraživanja nalazišta Batina – Sredno čija su dosadašnja iskopavanja pružila vrijedne podatke o životu vrlo bogate zajednice s kraja kasnoga brončanog i početka starijega željeznog doba te su donijela nove spoznaje o stanovnicima utvrde Ad Militare smještene na dunavskome limesu. Cilj istraživanja, poduzetih na sjeveroistočnome dijelu položaja Sredno, bio je usporediti rezultate geomagnetnih istraživanja provedenih 2016. godine sa stvarnom slikom nalazišta. Rezultati geomagnetnih istraživanja točno su locirali sve objekte koji su pronađeni u istraženim sondama, iako se u nekim slučajevima interpretacija razlikovala od stvarno pronađenih nalaza, što pokazuje kako nije moguće interpretirati rezultate nedestruktivnih metoda istraživanja bez poduzimanja arheoloških iskopavanja. Pored otkrića osam rimskih paljevinskih i kosturnih grobova, posebno je važno otkriće većega prapovijesnog objekta, koji se prepoznaje i na geomagnetnoj snimci, čije će buduće iskopavanje pokazati radi li se o ostacima nekoga starijeg ili mlađeg prapovijesnog naselja u odnosu na groblje daljske grupe. Pronađeni ukopi poginulih vojnika iz vremena Batinske bitke iz II. svjetskoga rata također pokazuju kako je strateška važnost Batine bila prepoznata i kasnije te se zadržala sve do danas. ; As part of the project Archaeological Heritage of Baranya, an excavation of the Batina – Sredno site has been carried out. Previously conducted research has provided valuable data on the life of a prosperous community from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age, and has brought new insights into the life of inhabitants of the Ad Militare fort located on the Danube limes. The aim of the research, undertaken in the northeastern part of the Sredno site, was to compare the results of geomagnetic research conducted in 2016 with the actual situation of the site. The results of geomagnetic research have accurately located all the objects found in the investigated trenches, though in some cases the interpretation differed from those actually found, indicating that it is not possible to interpret the results of non-destructive research methods without taking archaeological excavations. In addition to the discovery of eight Roman cremation and inhumation burials from the time of Severi, the discovery of a large prehistoric object is particularly important, which is also recognized during the geomagnetic survey, whose future excavation will show if it is a remain of an older or younger prehistoric settlement in relation to the cemetery of the Dalj group. Burials of fallen soldiers from the time of the Battle of Batina in World War II were also found which also show that the strategic importance of Batina was recognized in later times and that it remains until present.
