Many scholars have tried to answer two main questions about the nature of the signs: first, does they form a system, and (if so), could such a system be interpreted as an original prehistoric script? A new approach to the problem, focused on an archaeological reconstruction of the basic function of ceramic objects bearing the signs, offers strong evidence that the signs were used in the context of ordinary domestic life, much more than in ritual and/or ceremonial contexts. An important set of data suggests that practicallz every single Vinča household had inscribed objects and that many of the signs and sign groups are uniform, just as in organized writing. Consequently, such a complex notation system could have been a form of written communication throughout Vinča societyČlanek preučuje možen pomen ter socialno funkcijo znakov in simbolov iz Vinče in njihovo uporabo v neolitskih skupnostih na območju Donave. Veliko raziskovalcev se je trudilo odgovoriti na dve poglavitni vprašanji o pomenu teh znakov: ali tvorijo sistem in (če ga) ali lahko takšen sistem interpretiramo kot prazgodovinsko pisavo? Nov pristop k problemu, osnovan na arheološki rekonstrukciji osnovne funkcije keramičnih predmetov z znaki, ponuja močan dokaz, da so znake veliko pogosteje uporabljali v kontekstu običajnega, posvetnega življenja, kot pa v ritualnih in obrednih kontekstih. Pomemben niz podatkov omogoča domnevo, da so skoraj v vsakem gospodinjstvu nastopali predmeti z znaki ter da je veliko znakov in skupin znakov poenotenih, kot pri organizirani pisavi. Posledično je tak kompleksen sistem označevanja, lahko oblika pisane komunikacije v celotni skupnosti, ki je sestavljala kulturo VinčaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
