摘要：The article contains an examination of the results of rescue archaeological research at the Polje niže Vrcelja site, not far from the town of Benkovac. The site consists of Late Antique and Neolithic horizons. The latter, to which this work is dedicated, has been ascribed to the Impressed Ware culture. The complex stratigraphic Neolithic segment of the cultural deposits dated by radiocarbon analysis highlight the archaeological potential and importance of studying and supplementing the picture of the Neolithic in the Eastern Adriatic seaboard, as well as the need for more systematic archaeological excavations of the site and the need for an interdisciplinary approach to research.
