Sažetak
The site Crkvišće-Bukovlje is situated on a hilltop above the river Mrežnica in the region of Kordun in central Croatia, on a strategically very good position. Archaeological excavations were carried out for the first time in 2010, when Late Bronze Age and Lasinja culture layers were brought to light. The site has been systematically excavated since 2012. Rich Eneolithic horizon was revealed with an abundance of pottery belonging to the Lasinja culture. The position of several postholes in one of the trenches indicates the existence of an aboveground house. Pottery fragments display similarities with other known sites of Lasinja culture, especially the ones found south of the rivers Kupa and Sava in Croatia, as well as in Bela krajina in Slovenia. The only radiocarbon date obtained so far for the Eneolithic layers falls in the period of the early Baden culture, which together with several pottery finds suggests the existence of this horizon at Crkvišće. Although a relatively small area has been excavated, the site gives an important insight into the middle Eneolithic period of central Croatia south of the Kupa and Sava rivers.
