Vinča culture

The Vinča culture, flourishing around 5700 to 4500 BCE in Southeast Europe, particularly in what is now Serbia, was a Neolithic society known for its advanced agricultural practices, pottery, and early urban settlements. They built large, organized villages with distinct wooden and mud-brick houses. The culture is notable for its intricate pottery and figurines, which reflect their artistic skills and religious beliefs. Additionally, the Vinča people developed one of the earliest known forms of writing, known as Vinča symbols, hinting at advanced communication. The culture significantly contributed to the region's development during the Neolithic era.
