    The  burial  deposits  from  the  grave  with  a  cuirass  from tumulus  52  or  IV  at  Stična,  excavated  by  the  Duchess  of Mecklenburg  in  1913,  have  already  been  published  four times and have been differently presented each time. None of  the  four  versions  completely  corresponds  with  the  data in the notes of the Duchess’s secretary, Gustav Goldberg. Of the finds that have previously been attributed to this grave, only  a  cuirass,  a kernos  and  a  small  pot  can  definitely  be ascribed to it. In addition, a fluted ciborium and spearheads may  derive  from  the  grave.  Two  lids,  two  smaller  ciboria and 67 dome-shaped loop-backed buttons are certainly not from this burial. The smaller ciboria and the lids are from another  Stična  grave,  from  Magdalenska  gora  or  perhaps some  other  cemetery  of  the  Dolenjska  (Lower  Carniola) Hallstatt culture, while the dome-shaped buttons originate from the cemetery at Stražni dol near Golek pri Vinici.Rainer-Maria Weiss ascribed a belt-plate with figurative ornament depicting a procession of men and a woman to a grave with a cuirass from tumulus 52. Biba Teržan ascribed the same belt-plate to a grave with a double-crested helmet from  tumulus  55  or  VI  at  Stična.  However,  the  belt-plate is not from any of these graves.The  grave  groups  of  the  Mecklenburg  Collection  are unreliable. Finds from other graves from the same or even from  a  different  site  have  sometimes  been  added  to  the Hallstatt period graves from Magdalenska gora and Stična. Some  are  undoubtedly  from  the  Latest  Hallstatt-La  Tène cemetery at Stražni dol near Golek pri Vinici (e.g. dome-shaped buttons of the Vinica type, bronze sun rings, bronze shepherd’s crook pins and amber beads of Palavestra’s types 8d and 8e). Conversely, some grave groups from Golek pri Vinici contain Hallstatt period finds that were excavated by the Duchess on Magdalenska gora and at Stična
