Tell settlement of the StarCevo, Early and Late VinCa and Late Copper Age periods, located near a narrow valley in upland north Bosnia, Yugoslavia. Pottery typology and radiocarbon dates for levels VI (<4690 — Starcevo) and III (c3760-3630 be — Late Vinca) indicate sporadic occupation interspersed with long breaks. In the Late Vinca levels evidence of copper-smelting is known from within a house. The pottery characterizing the latest level (I) still lacks close affinities in the Balkan area.
