Abstract
The excavations of the Bršadin – Pašnjak pod selom site, undertaken in June 2018, continued the excavations in trench 1 in the eastern part of the site. Under the layer of ashes defined in 2016, there were parts of a partially burned layer consisting of several micro-layers. The layer in the eastern and western parts was cut by ditches, where the remains of large wooden pillars were identified. These ditches were used in at least two phases. In the western part of the trench, another ditch with smaller post-holes was identified, and all the post-holes were parallel and lay on the north – south axis. The remains of thinner floor slats of yellow unbaked clay were identified in the north-west and north-east part of the trench, in several layers. In the northwest corner of the trench, in the layer between two slats, the researchers explored a part of a smaller pit, which was filled with unbaked clay spheres. A part of movable finds belongs to the Sopot culture, while finer pottery finds point to the population presence or direct influence of the Vinča culture (of transitional phase C/D and phase D1). The series of radiocarbon dates matches the same phases of the tell Vinča – Belo brdo.
