Vela Spila (Engl. Big Cave) is a cave situated above the town of Vela Luka on the island of Korčula, Croatia, at an elevation of approximately 130 meters. The cave consists of an elliptically shaped cavern that measures 40 meters in length, 17 meters in height, and is approximately 40 meters wide. There are two openings in the roof of the cave as well, which were caused by a collapse of the cavern roof.
There are Mesolithic and Neolithic findings in the cave that date back to 7380-7080 BC. Radiocarbon dating has also shown that there was human activity going back 20 000 years. In 1986, remains of two adults where found. Scientific research dated their bodies back to late Neolithic times. The local towns people of Vela Luka call them Baba and Dida, meaning Grandma & Grandpa.
Further excavations between 2001 and 2006, produced 36 ceramic artifacts dated to the late Upper Palaeolithic period, about 17,500 to 15,000 years ago. These finds are the only examples of ceramic figurative art in southeastern Europe during the Upper Palaeolithic. (from Wikipedia)
