Sklede z uvihanim ustjem so razprostranjene po celotnem območju centralnega Balkana kot eden iz-
med najbolj pogostih tipov Vinča D naselbin. Najverjetneje so bile uporabljane kot sklede oziroma kro-
žniki za postrežbo tekoče ali trdne hrane. Skupno je bilo analiziranih 160 skled iz pozno vinčanskega
naselja Stubline z namenom izpeljave možnih trendov interpretacije tipoloških, funkcionalnih in pro-
storsko-časovnih vidikov skled z uvihanim ustjem pozno vinčanske kulture. Rezultati analize so bili sta-
tistično kvantificirani z namenom preverbe možnih trendov v izdelovanju tovrstnih posod.

Bowls with everted rim are distributed over the vast territory of Central Balkans, as one of the most fre-
quent bowl type from numerous Vinča D settlements. They were probably used as consumption bowls
or plates for consuming of both liquid and solid food. Total number of 160 bowls from Late Vinča cul-
ture site of Stubline was analysed in order to mark possible trends in interpretation of typological, func-
tional and spatiotemporal aspects of bowls with everted rim from Late Vinča culture. Analysis results
were statistically quantified in order to check whether there are possible trends in production of bowls
with everted rim.
