The site of Crvena stijena (Red Rock), located in the village of Petrovići, gained archaeological recognition in the early 1950s. Initial investigations began during that period, revealing a multi-layered archaeological site with remarkable and scientifically valuable stratigraphy. The importance of this site is evident across various fields, including archaeology, anthropology, geology, palaeontology, archaeozoology, palaeobotany and other scientific disciplines, marking it as one of the most significant habitats of prehistoric humans in Europe. The research has so far identified periods spanning the Bronze, Neolithic, Mesolithic, Upper Palaeolithic and Middle Palaeolithic Ages.
