	Lepenski Vir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lepenski Vir is located on the banks of the Danube in eastern Serbia, close to the Iron Gates gorge.
		It is assumed that the people of Lepenski Vir culture represent the descendants of the early European population of the Brno-Psedmost hunter gatherer culture from the end of the last ice age.
		Lepenski Vir gives us a rare opportunity to observe the gradual transition from the hunter gatherer way of life of early humans to the agricultural economy of the Neolithic.

	Lepenski Vir
		Lepenski Vir is the name of a small inlet on the right bank of the Danube, at the foot of Kor{o hill, and of a large whirlpool, which once formed there before the lake waters accumulated.
		This community, known in archaeological science as the Lepenski Vir culture, was the first in Europe to achieve a singular architecture, with planned and organized communal areas, and to artistically work cult objects.
		The Lepenski Vir locality today represents one of the most frequented museums in the country, but there are still no adequate facilities for receiving the tens of thousands of visitors who come here each year.

	Lepenski Vir: a Mesolithic Paradise, Robert Wernick
		Lepenski Vir, about half way up the gorge, was one of the sites he visited to determined whether there were any ancient remains that would justify a digging expedition before the waters rose.
		Fish were thus the guarantee of prosperity for Lepenski Vir; and it is no wonder the statues of their gods (assuming that they were gods) had fishlike features.
		Srejovic considers that Lepenski Vir must have been a kind of cultural metropolis, a mini-Rome to which outlying groups owed at least spiritual obedience.

	Masters Paper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		By reexamining Lepenski Vir in detail, I hope to show that the assumption that there is increased social complexity with the advent of hunter-gatherer sedentism is an unjustified assumption.
		Before archaeologists can argue that early sedentary groups, like the ones who lived at Lepenski Vir, were more complex than mobile hunter-gatherer groups, we must demonstrate that the mobile groups did not possess levels of social complexity equal to or greater than their sedentary counterparts.
		The goal of this paper is not to reject the idea that a complex social structure existed at Lepenski Vir during the Mesolithic.

		THE CIVILISATION OF The civilization of Lepenski Vir continuously existed from 11th to 3.5th millennium BC (Srejovic and Babovic, 1983), leaving behind the traces of its development to be discovered nowadays.
		High degree of urbanization of settlements and pattern of the houses of the civilization of Lepenski Vir could be very interesting for the history of European architecture and civil engineering.
		Base of the house is formed of elements of equilateral triangle and circle, which clearly shows that the culture of Lepenski Vir possessed knowledge of geometry long before the existence of the Hellenic culture, whose successors consider themselves the founders of the contemporary geometry.

	Virtual Museum of the Inscriptions
		(5) The Tartaria tablets and the Lepenski Vir stone are included in Table I (column A) as further evidence showing that sign distributions are not random and that the signs on these objects appropriately fit within the sign system of the Vinča culture.
		The "blank" tablets are probably meaningful ritualistic substitutes for the inscribed type that may have been used by someone familiar with the tablets but perhaps not yet with the signs; they even may have been used as a sort of training ritual.
		This artifact seems to indicate that some signs were headings or markers; deliberate effort was made to demarcating the rows and columns without crossing over the signs, thereby suggesting their magical importance.

		The region has, during the 7th and the 6th millenniums BC, witnessed the coexistence of Mesolithic culture of the Lepenski Vir –Schela Cladovei type and the Early and Middle Neolithic of the Balkans, represented in the region by Gura-Baciului and Starcevo.
		At the end of this coexistence, Neolithic settlements are confirmed on one of the examined sites (Lepenski Vir), as well as downstream from the Gorge, integrated into the Middle Neolithic Starcevo-Cris-Körös complex.
		In order to examine the interactions of communities with different modes of subsistence (foraging and farming respectively), the nonmetric anatomical variants of the skull and postcranial skeletons were examined on the four sites with the largest number of individuals buried: Padina, Lepenski Vir, Vlasac and Hajducka Vodenica.
