Sažetak Present research exploits the benefits of the non-invasive and non-destructive spectroscopic
methods in order to characterize the pigments which constitute the colorants found on ancient ceramic
pieces. A red colorant, which occurs on the outer surfaces of the ceramic pieces excavated from archaeological
finding sites Čepin-Ovčara and Kneževi Vinogradi-Osnovna škola and in earth piece from Aljmaš-
Podunavlje locality was analyzed. Using the UV-Vis FORS and Raman spectroscopy, red colorant is
found to be red ochre. Raman spectrum of red ceramic colorant agrees with the spectrum of the colorant
from the earth piece, leading to the conclusion that the Neolithic culture living in today Slavonija and
Baranja region used the same colorants for decorating their ceramics as other nearby Neolithic cultures of
Pannonian Basin. Black colorations are found to be made of soot.
