Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce two oak logboats from Stare gmajne. The comparatively well preserved vessels contain transverse reinforcements. Dendrochronological analysis showed that both logboats are contemporary to the pile-dwelling settlement; logboat 2 was made and used at the last stage of the settlement around 3109 ± 12 BC, while the logboat 1 was probably made c. 50 years earlier

Keywords: logboats, dendrochronology, pile-dwelling, Stare gmajne, the Ljubljansko barje, Eneolithic.
