The results of the archaeological and dendrochronological researches at three pile-dwellings in Ljubljansko barje, which are dated into the 2nd half of the 4th millennium BC, are presented. We discuss about very important finds such as the wheel and its axle, two logboats and investigations of wooden handles and children's bow. Analyses of crucibles and a yarn, which is a unique find of this type and age in Slovenia, were conducted. We also searched for origins of raw materials for stone axes, querns, bone and antler artefacts.

We discuss changes in the vegetation and hydrology at Lj. barje using a multiproxy approach. During the Late glacial Barje covered a deep lake surrounded by open woodland which in the early Holocene was replaced by broadleaved tree taxa and Picea. This was followed by the spread of Fagus, Abies, planktonic and oligotrophic diatom taxa as well as an increased allochtonous influx. Changes in forest composition and the spread of herb taxa were probably advanced by human impact on the environment. The beginning of organic sedimentation, dated to 6000 cal BP.
