Tumba Madzari – A Scientific and Touristic Centre in Skopje
Tumba Madzari – A Scientific and Touristic Centre in Skopje

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the overall scientific and cultural significance of the Neolithic settlement and open-air museum “Neolithic Village—Tumba Madzari” in Skopje. The presentation and analysis of this Neolithic site will be divided into two parts: first the scientific aspect, and second its potential as a tourist destination with significant cultural value. The existing knowledge about the chronological and cultural affiliation of this Neolithic settlement will be explored through the analysis of discovered objects, as well as movable finds, primarily pottery and cult objects. The second part will focus on the open-air museum Tumba Madzari, where the Neolithic village has been reconstructed. The structures built here, along with the movable finds inside, will be discussed as a main part of the open air museum. Special attention will be given to the next steps that need to be taken at this site in order to enhance its scientific and tourist presentation. In the conclusion, the previous findings will be summarised, and several key points for future activities will be drawn.
