Late Neolithic site of the Early Vinca culture (B-C phases) in the Morava Valley of northern Serbia, dating c 4300-3950 BC. The houses were of timber posts with wattle-and-daub walls. Subsistence was mixed farming (cattle husbandry and cultivation of emmer and bread wheat). Copper from the Rudna Glava mine was used alongside stone.

One of the largest open settlements of the Early VinCa period, Selevac extends over 80 hectares of gently sloping hillside in the Konjska basin, northern Serbia, Yugoslavia. Four occupation levels were detected in the central part of the site, excavated by R. Tringham and D. Krstic and dated c4300-3950 be. In the first two levels houses were rebuilt on their own foundations, creating rapid disposition of debris, but in the last two phases houses were horizontally displaced, leading to more even deposition. Subsistence strategies centred on mixed farming (cattle husbandry and cultivation of emmer and bread wheat). Copper from the Rudna Glava mine was used alongside stone from mountains near the mine.
