MZ Butmir

Few communities in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have a history as closely tied to Neolithic settlement as MZ Butmir. It lies on Sarajevo Field beneath Mount Igman, on the southwestern edge of Sarajevo. Archaeological work in 1893 revealed the Neolithic settlement that gave its name to the Butmir culture, noted for ceramic vessels decorated with spirals and geometric motifs. These finds place this local community in a story far older than the nearby modern capital. In neighbouring Ilidža, Vrelo Bosne marks the spring source of the Bosna River.
