About Belgrade

Belgrade, city of very tumultuous history, one of the oldest in Europe. Its history has lasted for 7000 years. The area around the large rivers was inhabited in the Paleolithic period. From the older stone age, came the remains of human bones and skulls of Neanderthals, found in a quarry near Leštane, in a cave in the vicinity of the Cukarica Bajloni market. Remains of late Stone Age culture were found in Vinca, Zarkovo and Upper Town, above the confluence of the Sava and Danube. This indicates that the area of Belgrade has been continually inhabited and that the intensity of the settling has been getting stronger. Many of today's settlement of Belgrade surroundings lie in the cultural layers of earlier prehistoric settlements. Vinca near Belgrade is one of the most important settlements and cultural sites of prehistoric period. Archaeological excavations at Rospi bridge, Upper Town, Karaburma, Zemun Vinci confirm the assumption that the area of Belgrade was intensively inhabited and that its population engaged in agriculture Plow and other associated economic activities. At this locality the necropolis of the Bronze Age, and metal as well as evidence of different cultural influences.

There were archaic humans at Dmanisi, Georgia 1.75 million years ago.

Stranger In A New Land

Image: JOHN GURCHE PORTRAIT OF A PIONEER With a brain half the size of a modern one and a brow reminiscent of Homo habilis, this hominid is one of the most primitive members of our genus on record. Paleoartist John Gurche reconstructed this 1.75-million-year-old explorer from a nearly complete teenage H. erectus skull and associated mandible found in Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. The background figures derive from two partial crania recovered at the site.
