Neolitska naselja u Gornjoj Tuzli u kontekstu geološke strukture sjeveroistočne Bosne
Neolithic settlement in Gornja Tuzla in the context of the geological structure of northeastern Bosnia

Summary/Abstract: This paper encompasses observation of geological and geographical determinant of Northeastern Bosnia and changes that occurred during Neogene up until beginning of Holocene, when Tuzla basin have been flooded by the Paratetis (old sea). As a result, geological formations have developed from which salt formation is the most interesting one. There will be an analisys of Tetima, locality rich with ore of salt, situated further north from Gornja Tuzla where the spring of river Jala is, which carried halit (rocky salt) down the stream to the area where Neolithic settlement was built. From geographical aspect, territory of todays Gornja Tuzla is surrounded by the hills, so wider expansion was hardly possible, like it happened later in Donja Tuzla, that is today city of Tuzla. A logical question arises: why didn’t Gornja Tuzla happened ni Donja Tuzla, what has influenced neolithical population to inhabit this area?
