Vinca Idol, 5th millennium BC (*)

fired clay with pigment remains, ple-

xiglass base

Vinca is the name of an archaeologi-

cal site near Belgrade (Serbia), more

precisely a „tell“ or settlement mound

with nine meters of stratified occup-

ation layers. The Neolithic–Chalcoli-

thic culture discovered there spread

during the 6th and 5th millennia BC

across the territory of present-day

Serbia, northeastern Bosnia, western

Romania, and western Bulgaria.

The Vinca culture is primarily known

for its ceramics and numerous anth-

ropomorphic clay idols, which were

likely used as cult images or votive of-

ferings in sacred areas and near altars.
