Archaeological Periods of the Tolmin Region

Abstract

The beginning of settlement of the Tolmin Region stretches from 70.000 to 30.000 years B.C. (first half of the last Glacial). Permanent colonisation begins with the Middle or Late Bronze Age. The Sveta Lucija Hallstatt group presents one of the culminations of cultural development. Succeeding were the Idrija group of Latene culture (Idrija pri Bači), the Romans, and not until 9th—10th century came the Slaves.
