The Early Neolithic Settlement at Velesnica: Lithic and Osseous Industries
Abstract
The site of Donja Strana-Velesnica was one of several prehistoric sites researched within
the rescue excavations project “Đerdap II” in the Iron Gates region. It was excavated during the
period of 1980–84 by R. Vasić. Remains from the Eneolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and historic
periods were discovered, and the most important finds come from the horizons belonging to the
Early Neolithic Starčevo culture. The possibility of the presence of a Mesolithic horizon was not
confirmed with certainty. The Starčevo culture horizon included settlement remains as well as sev eral graves, and rich portable material. In this paper, lithic and osseous industries from the Neolithic
layers will be presented and discussed within the regional context.
