Archaeologists from Zadar University have discovered a 15,000 year old flint pebble with precise vertical and horizontal lines, making it the oldest drawing ever found in Croatia.
The etching was found in the Vlakno cave on Dalmatian island of Dugi Otok. Similar drawings, which belong to the Palaeolithic period, have been found in Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina, but this is the first find in Croatia.
The drawing, the authenticity of which was confirmed by radiocarbon analysis, shows that instead of fish and other seafood, the Dalmatians ate cattle that roamed the valleys and shared their caves with dogs.
