  • The cultures of the Bronze Age are characterised by richly decorated ceramics, expressed in various shapes and ornaments
  • The recent discovery of moulds used for the production of jewellery and tools undeniably testifies to some kind of metal processing and production of metal objects in the vicinity of Sombor during the Bronze Age
  • The presence of bearers of the burial mounds culture (Hügelgräber) – the most significant and specific cultural phenomenon during the Bronze Age in the territory of Sombor
  • In the narrow stretch of the Yugoslav Danube River basin region, from Baranja to Western Srem, including part of Western Bačka, the Valsko-Daljska group developed. It was a further continuation of the Central European Urnfield culture that existed from the 10th to the end of the fourth or beginning of the third century BC
  • Its material culture is for now only known thanks to research findings from necropolises; the Sombor region’s most famous necropolis from this period was discovered near the village of Doroslovo
