Lepenski Vir
This archaeological site on the Danube preserves evidence of prehistoric communities. Its distinctive stone sculptures and house plans show how inhabitants shaped their settlement along the river.
Life by the Danube
Excavations uncovered successive settlements on a Danube terrace. Earlier layers show communities of hunters, fishers and gatherers. Later layers record the arrival of farming and animal husbandry.
What to look for at the site
Look for the distinctive house foundations and sculptures carved from sandstone pebbles. The dwellings, burials and objects together help explain how these communities organised life beside the river.
