Abstract
The paper presents new radiocarbon dates and the results of typological analysis of finds from Barbarsko. Based on movable archaeological material, as well as radiocarbon dates, it is safe to conclude that, at Barbarsko 1 (AN 2), excavations were carried out on Copper Age settlements, the oldest dating back to the end of the 5th millennium and belonging to the Lasinja culture, and a somewhat later one, from the 1st half of the 4th millennium, belonging to the Retz-Gajary culture. One object was singled out which could be attributed to the Boleraz phase of the Baden culture. The paper also discusses absolute chronology of the Middle Copper Age and the periodisation of the Lasinja culture.
