Žukovica Cave — lecture and book presentation
Lecture and presentation of a new collected volume on Špilja Žukovica, a cave near Račišće continuously inhabited from roughly 7000 to 2500 BC — one of the key European sites (from the Euphrates to the Atlantic) for studying the transition from hunter-gatherer to farming/herding economies, and Croatia's richest site by volume of human remains from that period. Speakers: assoc. prof. dr. sc. Igor Borzić (head of the East Adriatic Archaeology doctoral programme) on the role of the Pelješac Channel through history and current research on Korčula, and dr. sc. Dinko Radić (a lead researcher at Žukovica, former director of the Vela Luka Centre for Culture, current director of the Vis Heritage Museum) on the excavation's results. Organised by Mjesni odbor Račišće.

Croatian note: Predavanje i predstavljanje novog zbornika o Špilji Žukovica kod Račišća, kontinuirano naseljenoj od približno 7000. do 2500. godine pr. Kr. — jednom od ključnih europskih lokaliteta (od Eufrata do Atlantika) za proučavanje prijelaza iz lovačko-sakupljačkog gospodarstva na poljoprivredu i stočarstvo, i najbogatijem hrvatskom lokalitetu po količini ljudskih ostataka iz tog razdoblja. Govore: izv. prof. dr. sc. Igor Borzić (voditelj doktorskog studija Arheologija istočnog Jadrana) o ulozi Pelješkog kanala tijekom povijesti i aktualnim istraživanjima na Korčuli, te dr. sc. Dinko Radić (jedan od voditelja istraživanja Žukovice, nekadašnji ravnatelj Centra za kulturu Vela Luka, aktualni ravnatelj Zavičajnog muzeja Grada Visa) o rezultatima istraživanja Žukovice. Organizator: Mjesni odbor Račišće.
