Abstract

During the rescue excavations in the periphery of the village Petrijevci (Eastern Croatia), a set of Neolithic figural plastic findings was discovered. The group of findings consists of six fragments of “Vinča-like” type figurines, discovered in the Sopot cultural area. In the paper, an attempt of cultural and typological determination will be presented, with some references to the question of the Late Neolithic figural plastics in Croatia.

Sažetak

Tijekom zaštitnih istraživanja kod sela Petrijevci (istočna Hrvatska) otkrivena je grupa neolitičkih figura. Skupinu nalaza čini šest ulomaka fragmentiranih figurica vinčanskog tipa otkrivenih na kulturnom području sopotske kulture. Rad donosi pokušaj kulturno-tipološkog određenja, s manjim osvrtom na pitanja kasnoneolitičke figuralne plastike u Hrvatskoj.

Zusammenfassung

Bei Rettungsgrabungen in der Peripherie des Dorfes Petrijevci (Ostkroatien) wurde eine Reihe von figürlichen Plastiken aus der Jungsteinzeit entdeckt. Die Fundgruppe besteht aus sechs Fragmenten „Vinča-ähnlicher“ Figuren, die im Zoppoter Kulturgebiet entdeckt wurden. Der Beitrag schlägt eine kulturelle und typologische Bestimmung vor, dies mit besonderem Fokus auf Fragen der spätneolithischen Figuralplastik in Kroatien.
