Sažetak
Multilayered localities - pile dwelling settlements of Ripač (on the banks of the Una River) and Donja Dolina (on the banks of the Sava River) were discovered at the end of the 19th century and most of the significant archaeological excavations were made soon after the discovery organized by the National Museum in Sarajevo. Remains of the settlement and a large amount of archaeological and biological material were discovered, partially analyzed in parallel or soon after the excavation, and were part of the permanent museum exhibition. Large quantities of found material from both sites have been stored in the repository of the National Museum in Sarajevo, and some of the find- ings are still being analyzed and researched. This review presents the results of the latest archaeobotanical research on both sites, which includes analyzes of hitherto unprocessed plant remains and a revision of earlier finds from the Early Iron Age. At both localities, the finds are dominated by carbonized cereals with a share of over 90%, and the most common is emmer (Triticum dicoccum), which is in line with the first analysis published in 1896. In smaller quan- tities, legumes are present, primarily beans (Vicia faba), and occasional weeds. Wild fruits collected in the vicinity of the settlements have a significant share in the findings, and the most numerous in previous analyzes proved to be Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) from Donja Dolina. Various mixtures of cereals and legumes were also found, which most likely were the basis of the diet. If we add to all of the above large quantities of found bones of domestic and wild animals, we can assume that the diet of the inhabitants was varied and high quality.
