Archaeological traces near Zadubravlje
A Neolithic settlement near Zadubravlje yielded five ovens for working with ceramics and two other ovens for baking bread. Their different functions link ceramic work with bread preparation. The settlement also had areas for living, ritual activities and food preparation, as well as for textile and pottery production; stone tools and weapons were also made there. Horseshoe-shaped ovens from a settlement near Zadubravlje are considered unique examples in the Balkans. The archaeological connection therefore ranges from the function of individual ovens to different areas of life and work.

This offers a different approach to culture from the archaeological view of settlement remains: here, the focus is on forms of expression passed down through generations.
