Istočna Slavonija: Stanovništvo i naselja

The history of Eastern Slavonia, i.e. the area east of Osijek, Đakovo and Županja, goes back to the Neolithic period, when the first settlements were established in the area of ​​Vinkovci, Osijek, Vukovar and Vučedol. In the book, we briefly get to know the characteristics of the earliest cultures, including the Vučedol culture, from which the most recognizable archaeological find from that area originates - a ceramic vessel in the shape of a dove. Then the periods of Roman rule in Pannonia, the immigration of Croats to Pannonia and the establishment of Pannonian Croatia and the Kingdom of Croatia, Turkish rule and the settlement of the Šokacs and Bunjevics were covered. The recent history of the Iloc, Vukovar, Dal, Osijek, Vinkovac, Đakovo and Župan areas is specially covered. Concise and concise in its approach, the book also abounds with many interesting facts - about the beginnings of grapevine cultivation, legends, autochthonous families, the origin of the names of villages and towns and urban areas...
