Life in white: Symbolism and importance of the white colour in the Neolithic in the Balkans
Apstrakt
In the Neolithic and Early Eneolithic in the Central Balkans, the white colour seems to have had a particular importance. White stones were commonly used for production of cult and decorative objects, and in the late phase of the Vinča culture even for tools. Osseous raw materials, naturally white or whitish, were used for daily tools but they were also the preferred raw material for decorative items. The aim of this paper is to present the importance of the white colour and to give possible answers to the question on the significance and meaning of the white colour to inhabitants of the Central Balkans.
