ABSTRACT

In the late 1970s, a team of American and Yugoslav archaeologists collaborated on the excavation of the late Neolithic, Vincˇa Culture, settlement near the village of Selevac (Tringham and Krstic´ 1990). The excavation was remarkable in many ways and has had a major impact on our understanding of early farmers and herders in southeastern Europe. Neolithic Selevac was an aggregation of buildings in which people lived a life similar in many ways to the lives of countless people across central and eastern Europe from the seventh to the fourth millennium BC.
