In this paper we analyze the recently excavated grave from Stubline near Obrenovac in Serbia, south of the Sava River. This is the southernmost Avar grave and possibly one of the latest. A juvenile man has been buried, presented with an incomplete belt set. So far, we know of only two (Late) Avar graves from this zone, apart from some stray-finds. To interpret this burial we employed the results of geographical, anthropological and archaeological analyses, and some theoretical considerations on funerals as well.
