Description
Summary:The beginning of farming in Croatia (ca. 6000 cal BC) is little understood and few archaeobotanical studies have been conducted to explore the nature of subsistence economies at this time. This paper presents new archaeobotanical data from the middle Neolithic site of Danilo Bitinj and the early/middle Neolithic site of Pokrovnik, providing a significant contribution to the current evidence on early farming in the region. </br> Malo se zna o počecima poljodjelstva u Hrvatskoj (oko 6000. cal BC) i proveden je tek mali broj istraživanja usmjerenih na otkrivanje strategija preživljavanja u to doba. U ovom su članku predstavljeni novi arheobotanički podaci sa srednjoneolitičkog nalazišta Danilo Bitinj i ranoneolitičkog te srednjoneolitičkog nalazišta Pokrovnik, što je značajan doprinos dosadašnjim spoznajama o počecima poljodjelstva u tom području.
