The Hvar Culture of the Late Neolithic and-the Neighboring Coast
Marinko Tomasović
Abstract
The author publishes in this paper several pottery fragments that he has recently found in the cave of Bubnjevača, village of Veliko Brdo at the outskirts of the town of Makarska, Littoral of Makarska, Croatia. The cave itself was ascertained by himself in 1999 to be an important
archaeological site. After a meticulous scholarly analysis of these fragments and their comparison with those from some other sites in the surrounding coastland and hinterland (Lisičići, Jesenice/Zeljovići, Ravlića pećina, Zelena pećina), he concludes that the pottery of Bubnjevača cave shows close affinity with the so-called Hvar Culture, whose remnants were found in the caves of Grapčeva and Markova on the island of Hvar and which flourished approximately 3500-2500 BC.
