Description

Stone daggers and arrowheads similar to those from Dežman pile-dwelling sites near Ig (Fig. 181) were found in the riverbed of the Ljubljanica during river engineering works in the 1930s between Špica and the Prule Bridge in Ljubljana. Current knowledge suggests they are the remains of the pile-dwelling site at Špica, investigated in 2010 and contemporary with Dežman pile-dwelling sites near Ig.
