Summary/Abstract: This paper is dedicated to the Starčevo culture sites of the Early and Middle Neolithic period in Bosnia. In more then 100 years of research only two sites of this culture have been discovered so far. However, their rich cultural deposits require further analysis in the context of the relationship to the core region of the Starčevo culture and also to the natural resources. The author draws attention to the available radiometric dates and settles them in the context of pottery forms and decoration styles. A matter of special interest here is salt, so abundant in the Tuzla region, as a vital resource for the Early Neolithic settlers.
