Working pit 291 in the Starčevo culture settlement at Galovo in Slavonski Brod

Arheološku sliku obrtničkih djelatnosti ranoneolitičkog naselja starčevačke kulture na Galovu u Slavonskom Brodu nadopunila su istraživanja 2007. godine, otkrićem radne zemunice 291. U ovom dijelu naselja otkrivene su u proteklim istraživanjima tri radne zemunice, velika 155 i dvije manje 205 i 207, datirane metodom 14C u istu fazu izgradnje naselja. Četvrta radna zemunica 291 bila je izgrađena jugoistočno uz zemunice 205 i 207 kao prazan radni prostor, bez peći i tkalačkog stana u kojem se, prema njezinom inventaru, izrađivala kožnata odjeća i obuća. Velika brojnost kamenih izrađevina ukazuje na obradu kamenog oruđa i oružja. Ostaci ugljena iz radne zemunice 291 datirani su metodom 14C u vrijeme od oko 5710 do 5550 cal BC, što uvrštava ovu zemunicu u mlađu fazu izgradnje naselja, a njezin inventar u rani stupanj razvitka starčevačke kulture Linear A.The archaeological picture of craft activities in the early Neolithic settlement of the Starčevo culture at Galovo in Slavonski Brod was complemented by the 2007 excavations with the discovery of working pit 291. Three working pits were discovered in the previous excavations in this part of the settlement: the large pit 155 and two smaller ones 205 and 207, dated by the 14C method to the same phase of settlement construction. The fourth working pit 291 was constructed to the southeast of pits 205 and 207 as an empty working space, without an oven or loom, where judging by its inventory leather clothing and footware were made. The large number of stone implements point to the processing of stone tools and weapons. Charcoal remains from working pit 291 were dated by the 14C method to the time from around 5710 to 5550 cal BC, which places this pit in the younger phase of the settlement’s construction and its inventory in the early phase of development of the Starčevo culture, Linear A
