As it stood in 6000 BC
What Lepenski Vir looked like in its prime.
A low, fan-shaped village sited on a narrow promontory opening to the Danube: rows of trapezoidal house foundations with hard, reddish clay (lep) floors and stone edge reinforcements, shallow internal hearths and compact room footprints. Terraced levels step down toward the river, pathways radiate to the bank, and occasional carved stone piscine figures occupy central spaces; perishable timber and loess roofs once covered each small house, set against limestone cliffs across the river.
