Sažetak

In the summer 2006, the Institute of Archaeology from Zagreb and the Museum of Brodsko Posavlje (Sava region of Slavonski Brod) from Slavonski Brod carried out phase ten of the systematic archaeological research of the early Neolithic settlement of the Starčevo culture at the plot of Galovo in Slavonski Brod (Northern Croatia). The area of 200 m2 was researched in these works, continuing on the south and west side to the area excavated in the years before. In the residential part of the settlement, a working pit dwelling No. 207/208 was researched, placed northeastern from the working pit dwelling No. 205/206.
The earth house consisted of five smaller work areas, in which a bread oven with a mould and an open hearth were discovered. The elongated pottery oven No. 257/258, with its furnace in the pit dwelling No. 205/206, was built within the space between both working pit dwelling. The crudely manufactured clay pottery – pots and bowls of a spherical or half-spherical form – was ornamented by engravings, imprints, carvings and plastic modellation. The finely manufactured pots coloured in red were ornamented by dark brown motifs of straight lines, and on some fragments, the drops and dash motif were drawn in white. The discovery of pots painted in white demonstrates that both working pit dwelling were contemporary, which classifies the house No. 207/208 as well as the house No. 205/206 (coal analyses by means of the 14 C method dated the house inventory to around 5800-5715 Cal BC) as belonging to an earlier phase of the Linear A stage of the Starčevo culture – specified by S. Dimitrijević as the white Linear A stage. The following special finds were discovered: altar legs, clay whorls (ornaments or a fly-wheel for a spindle), a clay projectile (for a sling in animal hunting), several pieces of processed bone and a part of a bone bodkin or sewing needle.
