"Nakovana Culture": State of research

The term “Nakovana culture” came into use a quarter of a century ago, as a label for a distinctive assemblage of Eastern Adriatic Copper Age channeled pottery. “Nakovana” ware has been reported from 25 sites along the Eastern Adriatic littoral. Most of the early research and interpretation focused on typochronological issues, based on formal analogies. More recently, this ware, firmly embedded within the late “Hvar culture” tradition, has been dated by radiocarbon to the second half of the fourth millennium B.C. Issues other than pottery typology and dating barely have been investigated. Consequently, sociocultural background for this pottery style remains virtually unknown.
