Summary/Abstract: The article presents information about the archaeological locality of Vis or Orman-town in the canyon Tinja, near Gornji (Upper) Hrgovi (Srebrenik Municipality). Although recorded in the Archaeological Lexicon of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1988), more detailed information about the exact location, layout, configuration, and chronological and cultural determination are not available. In April 2016, we were able to locate the exact location of the site, and then we carried out field inspections and recognostication, garnering considerable amounts of pottery and household goods (surface finds). Based on the characteristic shapes and ornaments, the locality can be dated to the late Bronze Age, although the presence of the layer from the late Neolithic or Eneolithic age cannot be excluded. In any case, it is a significant locality; greater degrees of understanding and knowledge would be obtained by further archaeological excavations.
