Sažetak
The Institute of Archaeology carried out rescue archaeological excavations in March 2015 at AN 2 Donji Miholjac – Vrancari site, along the Donji Miholjac south beltway route. The structures in the east section of the site stand out the most, interpreted as remains of overground residential structures. These are mostly smaller pits and postholes, five canals in the NE-SW direction, uneven in depth and with irregular edges, and a larger pit of irregular shape. A complex measuring approximetely 11 x 11.5 m stands out, with parallel and rather similar canals (SU 84 and 94), together with smaller, oval pits in between, and possibly even including postholes in the immediate vicinity. The remaining similar canal pits, only partially excavated, can also be interpreted as parts of an overground structure. These are likely only segments of an entire and much larger structure, that is, a Neolithic long house with a rectangular layout. Even though poterry fragments from one pit could be attributed to Starčevo or perhaps Sopot culture, the features of pottery from the canals attributed to the overground residential structures correspond to early Linear Pottery. Therefore, the site near Donji Miholjac would belong to the southeastern periphery of the so-called Western Linear Pottery Circle, as a sort of natural continuation of its distribution pattern in the Transdanubian area.
