Abstract

Remains of two crucibles from the pile-dwelling settlement Stare gmajne at the Ljubljansko barje were analysed. One of the pots was entirely preserved. One pot was made of clay and the other one of stone. Traces of copper were found on internal walls of both pots, proving, that they were used in a metallurgical process.

Keywords: crucibles, XRF, Stare gmajne, Ljubljansko barje, 4th millennium BC.
