The burials were usually equipped with diverse grave goods: ceramic vessels, metal jewellery, metal weapons, and also relatively large amount of ornaments made from osseous raw materials were discovered. In Serbian part of Banat, two large cemeteries were excavated in the 20th century: Ostojićevo and Mokrin. The Maros (Moriš) culture of the Early Bronze Age was widespread in the southern Carpathian basin, around the confluence of Tisza (Tisa) and Maros (Moriš) rivers. Ornaments occur in small quantities, and particularly interesting is the find of a single, fragmented flat figurine from Bubanj. Typological repertoire consists of everyday tools, such as awls, needles, chisels, burnishers, scrapers and hammers also other utilitarian objects such as handles were produced, while the weapons were rare. Teeth occur rarely, and occasionally even mollusc shells may be encountered. Predominant raw materials were bones, mainly sheep/goat and cattle metapodials and ribs and red deer antlers. Also was analysed the material from the sites of Lazareva cave near Zlot and Begov most, both situated in eastern Serbia. The most important assemblage comes from the site of Bubanj near Niš, where excavations were carried out in 1950s and again in 2008-2014, and these last campaigns provided rich assemblage of osseous artefacts, including manufacture debris. In this paper will be presented the osseous industry from several sites of Bubanj – Hum I culture, part of the Bubanj-Salcuţa-Krivodol cultural complex, widespread in the Balkans. Traditional studies throughout 20th century were mainly focused on the problems of their chronological relations and on diverse aspects of the development of copper metallurgy, while faunal remains were not always carefully collected and their analyses were usually restricted. Eneolithic period in the Balkan area is marked by diverse archaeological cultures and cultural complexes.
