Summary/Abstract: In the years 1966 and 1967, a short-term rescue excavation in the Baba Sivača near Vajska (Bačka, Yugoslavia) revealed some tombs of a small ennolithic burial ground, and it was not long before the finds were published. The graves were relatively richly equipped with grave goods. Of the six burials that were uncovered, four contained ceramics, and in one of the tombs, besides clay vessels, metal objects were found. With regard to the relative timing, some vessels appeared to be of particular importance, namely those with the so-called disc handles. On parallels of these vessels B. Brukner came under the objects of Hunyadihalom culture or the Lažňany group, which is why he dated the local graves in the horizon of Hunyadihalom culture. The most important additions, however, were the two gold pendants from Grave 5, which were found on both sides of the head.
