Summary/Abstract: During the archaeological exploration of the monastery Gračanica near Valjevo, which took place in 2011, a graveyard site was documented northwards from the church, containing numerous tombstone evidence of burials during the 19th and 20th century. Based on tombstones bearing inscriptions from the 19th century, all of the tombstones from the same period can be precisely dated. Most of the tombstones were implanted into the ground accompanied by grave contructions or horizontal tombstones. One of the nine inscriptions is dedicated to Milosav Veselinović, whose surname has thus far mistakenly been cited as Tomić, was one of the two patrons of the reconstruction of the church in the early 19th century.
