PREHISTORY

Individual objects mainly represent prehistory. Stone axe, scraper and a knife as well as a statue of woman (probably a handle of a ritual dish) belong to Neolithic period (Late Stone Age, approximately from 6000 to 3500 B.C.).

Axes and two statues of women (probably related to Vucedol culture) originate from the eneolithic age (copper period, approximately from 3500 to 2200 B.C.). Statues, particles of ceramics, hollow bronze axe and a sword of the Sprockhoff originate from the Bronze Age (approximately from 2200 to 750 B.C.).

Iron axe with s wings, hollow axes with a hole (kelt), particles of ceramic dishes and bronze Illyrian helmet originate from the early Iron Age (approximately from 750 to 300 B.C.). These findings are mainly individual, not related to a particular archaeological context. Most of them were found in the Kupa riverbed.

Majority of objects belonging to the late Iron Age (later) was also found in Kupa. These are related to the first written mention of the fortified settlement Segestica.

Characteristic late iron objects are ceramic dishes (jug, pitcher, bowl, children's toys, particles of graphite ceramics), fibulas, decorative and other needles, numerous knifes, razors, sickles. Three statues of terracotta are also interesting; one of which has a Japodian cap on the head.
