Kostolac culture in continental Croatia

copper age in northern croatia back to the past The Kostolac culture is a Copper Age phenomenon dated to the end of the 4 and the 3 millennium BC, named after the eponymous site of Kostolac in the Republic of Serbia. It was defined as a separate culture in 1953 (Milojčić 1953), and was, previously, often connected with the Baden, Vučedol and Coţofeni cultures based on the decorations of ceramic finds (Balen 2010: 85). As is the case with many other Eneolithic cultures, the Kostolac culture was defined based on the forms and decorations of ceramic vessels, primarily furrowed incisions and stabbing, often filled with white incrustation.
