Summary/Abstract: Although this paper presents only a part of what has been investigated so far, it can be safely said that the archaeological picture is completely different from what is stated in the Archaeological Lexicon of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a starting reference, where only four archaeological sites are listed. In the last two years, seven more new sites were discovered, and four of them are presented in this paper, so it can be concluded that the archaeological picture of Lukavac has been significantly enriched. What can be highlighted as particularly significant is the archaeological test excavation at the Baričko brdo-Lug site, as the only excavation that has been carried out in this area in the last fifty years, more precisely since the excavation at the fortress in Stupari, and the research results themselves are particularly interesting considering that it is a site from the Iron age. Among the accidental finds, a leaf-shaped bifacial piece or a spearhead stands out, as well as an Ottoman ceramic pipe, which is currently the only one found in this area. Reconnaissance and research have produced significant results over a long period of time (from the Neolithic to the Ottoman period), on the basis of which it can be concluded that the Lukavac area has archaeological potential.
