Varosh<br />
23<br />
The identified Neolithic site <strong>of</strong> Varosh is situated in the municipality<br />
<strong>of</strong> Ferizaj, respectively, located only 2 km south, southeast from<br />
the city, on the flat terrain <strong>of</strong> the Varosh village.<br />
Even though this Neolithic settlement was not archaeologically<br />
excavated, nor was investigated through the trial trenches, in several<br />
cases, occasional traces and remains <strong>of</strong> different Neolithic ceramic fragments<br />
were recorded, which happened during the work on the fields.<br />
The majority <strong>of</strong> the revealed movable archaeological materials clearly<br />
indicate traces <strong>of</strong> a nucleated Neolithic settlements <strong>of</strong> Starcevo and<br />
Vinca cultures. During 2011, in some parcels <strong>of</strong> this archaeological site,<br />
geophysical recordings, respectively, magnetometer survey were carried<br />
out, resulting with reflection <strong>of</strong> several underneath structures that<br />
might indicate the remains <strong>of</strong> Neolithic houses/dwellings.<br />
