Abstract

: ?e paper presents shortly the archaeological material excavated in 1920 by D. Karapandžić from the site of Zók (Baranya County, Hungary) which is being kept in the National Museum in Belgrade. Now, almost hundred years a?er the excavations, the material is being analysed and some of it is presented for the first time. ?e first period of the site dates to the Copper Age Lasinja-Balaton Culture. ?e findings from this period are succeeded by settlement remains of the Late Copper Age Baden Culture and Early Bronze Age, i. e. Vučedol-Zók and Somogyvár-Vinkovci Culture. ?e pottery is presented by a huge amount of plain and typical decorated biconical and conical vessels, storage vessels, cups, miniature vessels/toys, jugs etc. At the site over 200 osseous artefacts were also discovered - tools and manufacture debris from bone, antler and boar tusks, demonstrating the importance of these raw materials and also providing important data concerning technology and typology.

Introduction

?e National Museum in Belgrade keeps over three and a half thousand prehistoric findings in its collection that originate from the archaeological excavations of hillfort settlement situated in the area of the village of Zók, 15 km south-west from Pécs. ?e Museum carried out the excavations thanks to the initiative of Svetislav Rajić, who had the title of Veliki župan of the Baranya county in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians, and with the support of the Art Department of the Ministry of Education of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians.
