New finds as a contribution to the study of the early bronze age in the southern part of the central Balkans

In this paper, new sites are presented which were explored throughout the protective excavations conducted along the E 75 motorway, as well as new indicative finds from the sites in north-eastern Macedonia. These results will complete the picture of life in the Early Bronze Age communities of the territory of Southern Pomoravlje and Gornja Pčinja, as well as that of their relationship with the neighbouring populations. Of particular importance are the results of the investigation of this territory’s first explored necropolis from this period, which enriched our knowledge of the spiritual life of these communities.
