Aleksandar Bulatović, the coordinator of a project of archeological research and preservation on the Corridor 10 route, told Tanjug the necropolis contained remains of the deceased who were burned in funeral pyres.
"The necropolis dates back to the Early Bronze Age - based on our initial assessments between 2000 and 1800 BC, and it is significant because it is the only fully preserved necropolis from this period in the central Balkans," he explained.
“It is the most important discovery made to date on the Corridor X route,” he added.
"At the same site, we found multiple ceramic objects, which look quite unusual for this area, and several containers whose use is unknown," said Bulatović.
