• Resumen

  • The interdisciplinary investigation of Neolithic settlements in the Visoko basin, Bosnia and Herzegovina, permitted the collection of wood charcoal from archaeological contexts. Three contemporaneous sites, Okoli�te, Kundruci and Zagrebnice, were selected for the presented study. The fuel wood assemblages provide information on the Late Neolithic vegetation of Central Bosnia for the first time. A wide range of taxa was identified and proves a manifold landscape in the Bosna valley. The collected data are used to trace distinct vegetation types within a small area and discuss the issue of conscious use of the landscape and its vegetation by the Neolithic farmers.
