The Vinča culture sites of Belovode and Pločnik have been attracting   scholarly attention for decades now, due to numerous discoveries indicative   of copper mineral and metal use in these settlements, which are confirmed as,   currently, the earliest worldwide and very likely developed independently in   Eurasia.1 The authors attempt to give an overview of already published data   along with new results stemming from the recently completed doctoral research   of the primary author.2 All materials related to copper mineral use and   pyrometallurgical activities are presented through the concept of   metallurgical chaîne opératoire, following the established sequence of   operations,3 which is adjusted for this specific case study and divided into   three categories: copper mineral processing, (s)melting debris, and the   making and working of finished metal objects. The qualitative overview of   available data is therefore focused mainly around the material side of the   studied samples and provides an insight into the technological choices for   making copper mineral ornaments and copper metal artefacts in the sites of   Belovode and Pločnik. Accordingly, it provides a model for the understanding   of similar material assemblages that occur in other Vinča culture sites, or   beyond.
