Okna
Stone age copper mine (5000 year B.C.).
Early (and perhaps the earliest) evidence of European copper mining and metallurgy.
During the development of an open cut iron mine, prehistoric mineshafts and access platforms were discovered on Rudna Glava Hill (also known as Okna).
The site is approximately 20 kms southeast of the town of Majdanpek.
The deposit was studied between between 1968 and 1989, and excavated as part of the "Old Mining and Metallurgy of the Central Balkan" project.
Most of the copper objects (artefacts) from this time come, however, from Aibunar in Bulgaria.
