摘要:In this work we present the results of the analysis of pottery assemblages from the interior section of Pupićina Cave, which was excavated in 2001. We determined four prehistoric chronological phases that belonged to the Middle Neolithic, Late Neolithic/Early Eneolithic, Late Eneolithic/Early Bronze Age and the Middle Bronze Age. The last phase is Roman/ Medieval. The material from the Middle Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age phase is very similar to the material from the outer section of the cave, which points to the simultaneous settlement of the entire cave in these periods. The appearance of Eneolithic layers that were not recorded in the fore section of the cave shows that it was also in use during that period.
