NAJVEĆE NEOLITSKO NASELJENA PODRUČJU SARAJEVA

Abstract

Butmir is the oldest and most famous late Stone Age archaeological   site in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Excavations in Butmir were discovered   in the Ilidža area, today a suburb of Sarajevo, as early as 1893 by   the Austro-Hungarian government during the construction of an agricultural   school. The site made Bosnia and Herzegovina known in world   scientific circles. Excavations at the Butmir site lasted from 1893 to 1896.   The research work was performed by eminent experts from the National   Museum Vaclav Radimski and FranjoFiala. This sensational discovery at   the end of the 19th century led to the holding of the International Congress   of Archaeologists and Anthropologists in Sarajevo in August 1894.
