Butmir (jan 1, 5100 BC – dec 31, 4500 BC)
Description:
The Butmir culture was a major Neolithic culture in central Bosnia, developed along the shores of the river Bosna, spanning from Sarajevo to Zavidovići. It was discovered in 1893, at the site located in Butmir, in the vicinity of Ilidža, which gave its name to an entire cultural group of the late Neolithic in central Bosnia, the Butmir culture. It is characterized by its unique elaborately decorated pottery and anthropomorphic Figurines and is one of the best researched European cultures from 5100 to 4500 BC.[1][2] It was part of the larger Danube civilization. The largest Butmir site is in the Visoko basin, in Okolište.
