Abstract

The article presents the results of the archaeological excavations of two medieval village churches and cemeteries with several stages of burials at the “Livade-Đurđevac” site near Pančevo in the southwestern part of the Serbian Banat, carried out in 2009–2013. The older church (Church 1) belongs to the 12th–13th centuries. After the demolition, a new church (Church 2) with a slightly different plan was built on its foundations, which belongs to the late medieval Gothic period (14th–15th centuries). Buryings took place around both churches during the entire medieval period. The horizon of buryings from the 11th century, before the construction of churches, was also singled out. We connected the late medieval Church 2 with the settlement of “Sent-Đurađ”, known in the area of Kovin County in written sources from the 14th and 15th centuries.
