U zaštitnim istraživanjima lokaliteta Donji Miholjac – Đanovci na trasi južne obilaznice grada Donjeg Miholjca ustanovljeno je naseljavanje lokaliteta u eneolitiku (badenska i lasinjska kultura), kasnom latenu i antici te ranom i kasnom srednjem vijeku. Prapovijesna naselja ukazuju na intenzitet rasprostiranja na istočnijim dijelovima lokaliteta. Ranosrednjovjekovni objekti grupirani su na tri mjesta sporadično u središnjem, zapadnom dijelu središnjeg i samom zapadnom dijelu lokaliteta. Antičko i kasnosrednjovjekovno naselje zauzimaju najveću površinu, gotovo čitavim lokalitetom, s time da se kasnosrednjovjekovno naselje širi dalje na istok od antičkoga.In 2015 the Institute of Archaeology conducted excavations at the AN 6 Donji Miholjac – Đanovci site on the south beltway around Donji Miholjac. It has been confirmed that the site was populated during Eneolithic (Baden and Lasinja culture), late La Tène period and Roman period, as well as in Early and Late Middle Ages.
Valuable finds include two typical Lasinja houses, particularly the larger one, surrounded by double posts on one side, with a more irregular line of posts on another side. In addition, there is a fetal pit burial attributed to the 2nd half of the 14th c. at the eastern border of the late medieval settlement. This is an extremely rare find not only for Croatia, but also in general, which could suggest hiding an unwanted pregnancy in the Late Middle Ages.
The site consists of a lot of extraordinary materials for reconstruction of the way of life in this area during all periods in question, which will follow after a detailed analysis of the material, attribution and establishment of a more specific timeline for the facilities, as well as their function
