Above the medieval town of Klotjevac, on a hill called Jatara within the town perimeter, there once lay a necropolis containing around ten medieval tombstones. It was first recorded by Deroko and Bojanovski, but unfortunately, during our inspection, we found only two gabled-roof medieval tombstones, one of which features a pedestal and has been overturned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previously unrecorded necropolis, Klotjevac 2, is located on a nearby hill in the village of Klotjevac itself. It consists of only two gabled-roof medieval tombstones, oriented in a NW\u2013SE direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hamlet of Babaji\u0107i, there is a necropolis with 35 medieval tombstones (26 chests, five gabled roofs, three amorphous stones, and one slab).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monuments are moderately carved and preserved. They are arranged in rows, oriented in a NW\u2013SE direction. Three specimens are decorated\u2014specifically two chests and one gabled roof. The motifs on their reliefs include rows of plastic (raised) small circles, a crescent moon, and a depiction of a reclining male figure, which is a very rare occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our thanks go to our friend Azmir from Srebrenica, who guided us to this location.<\/p>\n\n\n
