Among the topics highlighted are the Slavonian area as the western fringe area of ​​the Neolithic, the problem of the origin and development of the Vučedol culture in Yugoslavia, the relations between the Vučedol and Kostolac cultural groups, and the elements and connections of material culture between Slavonia and the Adriatic area. The authors of the papers, including Stojan Dimitrijević, Bogdan Brukner, Nikola Tasić and Vladimir Mirosavljević, present the results of research, interpretations of archaeological findings and theoretical considerations important for understanding prehistoric communities.
