A landmark work in prehistoric archaeology, Europe's First Monumental Sculpture: New Discoveries at Lepenski Vir chronicles the groundbreaking excavations at Lepenski Vir, a Mesolithic settlement on the banks of the Danube in present-day Serbia. Dragoslav Srejović presents the remarkable findings of his archaeological campaigns, detailing the enigmatic boulder sculptures — haunting, fish-like human faces — that stand as the oldest known monumental sculptures in Europe. The work argues convincingly for the sophistication of this pre-Neolithic culture, overturning long-held assumptions about the artistic capabilities of early European hunter-gatherers. Published as part of the prestigious New Aspects of Antiquity series edited by Sir Mortimer Wheeler, it remains an essential reference for scholars and enthusiasts of prehistoric art, European prehistory, and the origins of human civilization.
