A new type of settlement appears in Istria, called 'gradine', or Hill-top fortifications.
Many Late Bronze Age bone objects, such as tools for smoothing and drilling, sewing needles, as well as spiral bronze pendants, will be found in the area around Pula/Pola.
The type of materials found in Bronze Age sites in Istria connects these with sites along the Danube.
The inhabitants of Istria in the Bronze Age are known as Proto Illyrians.
