The first sites were discovered almost one and a half centuries ago, while the first archaeological excavations were undertaken in the late 19th century. The over- view of the known sites in the first part of the study is followed by data on fresh research that was resumed in the first decade of the 21st century. Keywords: Serbia, Banat, Neolithic, Tisza communities, Vinča communities A tanulmány a szerbiai Bánát területén fekvő késő neolitikus Tisza-kultúra lelőhelyeit tekinti át. Az első lelőhelyeket közel 100 éve fedezték fel, az első régészeti feltárásokat a 19. század végén végezték. Az ismert lelőhelyek áttekintését az újabb, 21. század első évtizedében folytatott kutatá- sok adatai követik.
