Donja Branjevina
Odžaci Municipality, Serbia
Donja Branjevina is an archaeological site near the village of Deronje in the municipality of Odžaci. It is classified as a cultural monument of great importance. Archaeological excavations were conducted successfully from 1965 to 1995. The site contains evidence of the earliest farming culture in Europe. The most important find is an early Neolithic (over 7, 000 years old) figurine known as the "Red-Haired Goddess." The figurine is notable for its monumental size—at 38 cm in height, it dwarfs similar types of Neolithic statuettes, which rarely exceed 15 cm. Due to its significance, the figurine has placed the municipality of Odžaci on the archaeological map of Europe.
