Danilo, Croatia

Danilo is a village near Sibenik, Croatia, and the eponymous type site of the Neolithic Danilo culture [1] [2] [3]. Excavations revealed pits and post holes, with distinctive pottery decorated in incised geometric patterns filled with white and red pigment [3] [4] [5]. The culture's hallmark vessel is the rhyton, a four-legged decorated container with a large carrying handle, believed to have played an important role in Neolithic ritual practices [1] [3] [5].
