Neolithic site Okolište, Archaeological site in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The excavated site covers 7 hectares of land, containing remnants of 54 houses arranged in parallel rows with protective ditches surrounding the settlement.
Settlement patterns at Okolište reveal nine distinct occupation phases, with the earliest inhabitants establishing their presence around 5200 BC during the Butmir culture period.
Excavations have uncovered workshops for stone tool production, stoves, fireplaces, and extensive ceramic collections that indicate advanced crafting techniques of Neolithic communities.
Research estimates indicate approximately 200 houses existed simultaneously at the site, suggesting a population of 1000 individuals during its peak occupation period.
The settlement demonstrated advanced agricultural practices through the cultivation of emmer and einkorn grains, supported by a system of protective ditches for irrigation.
