Abstract

In 2006, we discovered remains of a pile-dwelling settlement Veliki Otavnik Ib during underwater survey of the riverbed of the Bistra stream at the Ljubljansko barje, not far from the foot of the mountainous Karstic fringe. Dendrochronological analysis of wooden foundation piles showed that the settlement dates to the horizon of pile-dwellings from 4th millennium BC and that is contemporary with the settlement Stare gmajne.

Keywords: archaeology, dendrochronology, pile-dwelling settlement Veliki Otavnik Ib, Eneolithic.
