This article presents Bronze Age sites and those at the transition to the Early Iron Age from the area of Upper Dravinja Valley, Savinja Valley and the Kozjansko region. The settlements Brinjeva gora and Ljubična above Zbelovska gora played a dominant role in the Upper Dravinja Valley during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages. Greater emphasis is placed on the Upper Dravinja Valley and the Late Bronze Age settlement Blato near Slovenske Konjice. It was a short-lived settlement with smaller buildings, a dominant stockbreeding-agricultural economy and a larger water pit located away from the Blato settlement, which we interpret as a place of irreversible deposition mainly of ceramic vessels from the Late Urnfield culture horizon. Other finds include larger pebble stones, animal bones, dispersed fragments of charcoal, wood and at the bottom of the pit, a relatively well-preserved oak trunk was lying submerged.V članku so predstavljena bronastodobna najdišča in tista na prehodu v starejšo železno dobo s prostora Zgornje Dravinjske in Savinjske doline ter Kozjanskega. V Zgornji Dravinjski dolini sta imeli v bronasti in starejši železni dobi dominantni vlogi naselbini Brinjeva gora in Ljubična nad Zbelovsko goro. Večji poudarek je namenjen Zgornji Dravinjski dolini in poznobronastodobni naselbini na Blatu pri Slovenskih Konjicah. To je bil kratkotrajen zaselek z manjšimi stavbami, s prevladujočim živinorejsko–poljedelskim gospodarstvom in z večjo ter od naselbine Blato odmaknjeno vodno jamo, ki jo interpretiramo kot kraj nepovratnega odlaganja predvsem keramičnih posod iz horizonta mlajše kulture žarnih grobišč. V jami so bili tudi večji prodniki, živalske kosti, drobci oglja in lesa, na dnu jame pa je ležalo potopljeno razmeroma dobro ohranjeno hrastovo deblo
