Abstract
The study addresses an imprecisely defined period between the end of the
Neolithic and the beginning of the Eneolithic in the Central Balkans. The
study primarily refers to the characteristic ceramic forms common to both
the Vinca culture and the Early Eneolithic groups, especially the Bubanj-Hum
I group. The pottery under consideration originates exclusively from
absolutely dated sites, single-layered sites, and sites that possess a
well-defined vertical stratigraphy. The analyses of pottery, combined with
brief reviews on economic strategies, the chipped stone industry, settlement
topography and the process of metallurgy indicate that the transitional
period from the Vinca culture to the Bubanj-Hum I group was a gradual
process in the Central Balkans, without major external factors, yet
continuous cultural contacts with the neighbouring communities, especially
into the east. This gradual process of vertical genetic transmission between
the 47th and the 45th century calBC resulted in the formation of the
Bubanj-Hum I group.
