abstract = "On the basis of Procopius' writings and comparison with the factual situation on the ground after three archaeological campaigns, some conclusions could be drawn about the character of the Ćetaće locality and its ancient name.By etymological analysis of the toponyms Βουργονοβορε, one could assume that it is a corrupted name *Βουργονοβο. So *Βουργονοβο would be Romanic *Burgonovo (obviously a prepositional compound Burg-o-novo), in the obvious meaning of "new fortress/town (etc.)" (*Burgus Novus). It fits with the fact that it was built then, in the time of Justinian. Namely, it is about an archeologically confirmed late antique fortification near Radujevac, which, due to the devastation, cannot be explored archaeologically.
On the other hand, Λακκοβουργο, the second fortification from Aquae towards Dorticum, since it goes together (τε και) with *Βουργονοβο (*Burgonovo), could be equally a Roman name and a compound. Where does this "κκ" come from? I think it is according to the Greek (co-radical) word λακκος. It would then be Roman *Lacc-o-burgo (Laccoburgus), which would mean "fortress/town (etc.) by/on a lake(s), perhaps also in the sense of some water reservoir, or perhaps by/on to a water tank, close to stagnant water, swamps, etc.''
Taking into account the mentioned data from the sources, the location of the site itself, the results of archaeological research and historical data in terms of the proximity of Aquae, which was the seat of one of the important mining districts of the Danuvii ripa, it could be assumed that there were also mining operations in Ćetaće (Laccoburgus?) perhaps cooling the heated metal with a large amount of water.",
