Summary (English)

  • Hadži Prodan’s cave is a monument of nature and it is located by the village of Lisa, municipality of Ivanjica. The interior of the cave also includes 2 halls in which rare species of insects were preserved as well as rich fauna of bats. Rescue excavations were conducted in order to reveal the remains of the church and to examine the stratigraphic position of the prehistoric pottery and Pleistocene fauna. Rescue excavations were undertaken at the beginning of the cave corridor as well as on the plateau in front of the entrance, in the overall area of 16 m2. Five geological horizons were excavated and the largest depth of 2.5 m is reached in squares E15 and E16. Preliminary results of the faunal analyses conducted by V. Dimitrijević showed that the absolutely predominant species in the Pleistocene layers is the cave bear while the rest would belong to brown bear, wolf, ibex and different species of rodents and birds. The majority of the Palaeolithic finds was collected from the plateau in front of it which used to be more spacious in the past. During the excavations of Hadži Prodan’s cave, only a small number of Palaeolithic finds was retrieved, 15 pieces in all. Layer 5 yielded two scrapers and artifacts made of quartzite (two fl akes and a shouldered scraper) which defi nitely determine the collection as Middle Palaeolithic. Layer 2 included a number of fi nds of Upper Palaeolithic provenience: implements with backed pieces, retouched truncations, implements with retouched fracture surfaces as well as retouched and simple bladelets and flakes. The presence of implements with abruptly retouched edge indicates that the collection belongs to Gravettian or Epigravettian.
