Central Bosnian cultural group

Central Bosnian culture (Serbo-Croatian: Srednjobosanska kulturna grupa) was a cultural group that emerged during the Bronze and Iron Ages. This group inhabited the upper and mid course areas of the Vrbas river (up to Jajce) and the Bosna river (up to Zenica, but excluding the Sarajevo plain), and constituted an independent cultural and ethnic community. Hillfort-type settlements were typical of this group and were often located close to major areas of cultivable land. The standard of housing in these settlements was high.^[1] Around 120 hill forts belonging to this culture have been identified in the area of Central Bosnia.^[2] This group is commonly associated with the later Illyrian tribe of Daesitiates.
