Velika Humka is an Early Iron Age princely tumulus near Pilatovici, Pozega municipality, Serbia, dating to the late 4th-early 5th century BC. The mound measures approximately 40 meters in diameter and is associated with the Glasinac culture. Excavations in the late 1970s revealed a central cremation burial of a prince alongside a richly furnished female inhumation containing 14 bronze fibulae, three Greek bronze vessels, amber beads, and an Egyptian scarab, reflecting extensive Mediterranean trade networks. Added to Serbia's Archaeological Sites of Exceptional Importance in 1983.
