Vucedol

Late Neolithic tell settlement that is the type site of a Slavonian culture, located by the Drava River in northern Croatia and Slovenia. It is characterized by its pottery, excised and filled with white paste. Some copper was also being worked. The material is related to that from the Ljubljansko Blat and the Eastern Alps and is closely related to the Hungarian Zok culture. It succeeded the Baden culture and the Kostolac group.

A TELL-like settlement by the River Danube in Srem, north Yugoslavia, is the eponymous site for the Late Copper Age Vucedol culture of northwest Yugoslavia. Excavations by R. Schmidt revealed a 4.6-metre stratigraphy with 8 occupation horizons I, a thin StarCevo level; II, a Baden-Pecel level; III, a Baden-Kostolac level with apsidal houses and intra-mural burial; IV-VI, three occupation levels of the Vucedol culture, with rectangular houses, copper-smelting areas and intra-mural burial; VII, a La T£ne Iron Age level; and VIII, a medieval domestic occupation. The Vucedol culture is closely related to the Hungarian Zok culture.
