Rudna Glava ( lit. 'Ore Head') is a mining site in present-day eastern Serbia, a village and an archeological site.
The site, located northwest of the present-day village, on the left bank of the Šaška, demonstrates one of the earliest evidences of European copper mining and metallurgy, dating to the 5th millennium BC. [1] Shafts were cut into the hillside, with scaffolding constructed for easy access to the veins of ore. It belongs to the Vinča culture, [2] as is shown by pottery-finds. In 1983, Rudna Glava was added to the Archaeological Sites of Exceptional Importance list, protected by Republic of Serbia. [3]
