Purkin kuk

Purkin Kuk represents one of the largest and most important prehistoric sites on the island of Hvar, located at an elevation of 275.30 meters. Artifacts from various periods create a complex cultural stratigraphy: the oldest implements, small blades, are dated to the Early Neolithic period (7000 BCE), while constructional activity continues through Illyrian fortification (1st century BCE) with remains of powerful walls forming a 25x25-meter square. The walls built using megalithic technique (4th century BCE) demonstrate consistent Hellenic construction methods. The site provides a panoramic view of the entire Stari Grad Plain, making it an important location for understanding the structure of ancient settlement patterns.
