		It is understandable then that Vinca is singled out in the archaeological science as a reliable benchmark in examining the emergence and development of a number of Neolithic and Copper Ages cultures in the middle and south-eastern Europe.

	Ancient Wisdom Cultures & People
		The oldest settlement in Vinca was neither fenced nor fortressed, and the relics from the tent-like huts are associated with painstaking but serene living of peasants, whose daily life consisted of hard work, making stone tools and various ceramic dishes and naturally tending their land, animals, and catch.
		Vinca became the biggest market in Southeast Europe not only because of an exceptional value of own products but rare materials or objects, which were brought in from Transylvania, upper Tisza valley, lower Danubian valley and even from the coasts of Aegean and Adriatic seas.
		Judging on the looks of clay idols and various culture objects, it was expressed in rituals and myths connected with the turn of seasons, sawing or harvesting times births and deaths, and permanent life cycle, visually most completely expressed in the presentation of a woman with a baby in her arms.

		The Vinca alphabet (also known as the Old European Script or Vinca-Tordos script) is believed by some to be the writing system of the Vinca culture, which inhabited south-eastern Europe around 6000-4000 BC.
		The Vinca culture appears to have traded its wares quite widely with other cultures (as demonstrated by the widespread distribution of inscribed pots), so it is possible that the "numerical" symbols conveyed information about the value of the pots or their contents.
		The Vinca symbols have not attracted as much attention as the arguably more glamorous Linear B of Crete and Easter Island's Rongo Rongo, both of which are still untranslated.

		Similarly as during the earlier stages of the Vinca culture, clay determined the basic forms of anthropomorphic statuettes, so in the later one figurines of metal sheet and bones became the proponents of linear abstract style which was transposed to other materials with more or less success.
		Hence new form of religious practice in Vinca, documented primarily by the known iconographic pattern of mother and child in her arms, the general female bread-winner and the great lady.

	Old Europe
		But when the Vinca Culture suddenly predated Sumer, this thesis could no longer be maintained (as it would break the archaeological framework, largely put in place by Childe and his peers), and thus, today, the status is that both scripts developed independently.
		Vinca was excavated between 1918 and 1934 and was revealed as a civilisation in its own right: a forgotten civilisation, which Marija Gimbutas would later call “Old Europe”;.
		Today, artefacts of the Vinca culture grace the display cabinets of several museums, for they are magnificent ceramics – of an artistic and technological level which would not be equalled by other cultures for several millennia.

	History of Serbia and Montenegro
		The dissemination of Christianity to the Slavs was not actually begun by the "apostles to the Slavs," but it received an enormous stimulus from the translation of the scriptures and liturgy, and the wider significance of their work was considerable.
		Culturally, therefore, the population remained highly differentiated, living most of their lives within the confines of local peasant communities, with their own dialects--the vehicle for folk songs and poetry--dress, and customs.
		However, the subsequent retreat of the Austrians left the native population seriously exposed to Turkish reprisals, and in 1691 Archbishop Arsenije III Crnojevic of Pec led a migration of 30,000-40,000 families from Old Serbia (Kosovo, Metohija and Raska region) and southern Bosnia across the Danube.
