Medvednjak

A pair of Neolithic settlement sites on adjoining hills, north of Smederevska Palanka in northern Serbia. The first site is dated to the earliest Vinca phase; the second has two occupations of the Early Vinca and Late Vinca (Vinca culture c 4500-3500 BC). Complete house-plans from the latest level indicate rectangular houses and assemblages have ritual finds and evidence of spinning, weaving, food storage, and grinding.

Refers to a pair of Neolithic settlement sites on adjoining hills, north of Smederevska Palanka in northern Serbia, Yugoslavia. The first site, as yet unexcavated, is dated to the earliest VinOa phase. The second site, excavated by R. Galovic, is 24 hectares in extent and contains two occupation horizons of the Early Vinca phase and a Late Vinca phase. Complete house-plans from the latest level indicate well finished rectangular houses. The domestic assemblages are notable for the association of ritual finds with domestic activities such as spinning, weaving, food storage and grinding.
