Drenovac is one of the largest Neolithic sites in Balkans as it covers area of more than 40 hectares. The explorations have discovered the remains of settlements dating back from the early Neolithic period (Protostarčevo phase, around 6,200 BC) and the Late Neolithic (Vinča culture, 5,200 to 4,500 BC) and cultural layer is 6.5 meters deep.
Neolithic settlement in Drenovac was very advanced and organized, it consisted of large number of houses, built close to each other in regular rows.
Surface houses were rectangular in plan and some of them had more than one floors. Most of the excavated houses were destroyed in a fire, causes of which are not yet completely clear and inside their remains archaeologists have discovered numerous pieces of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, altars, stoves, amulets, pottery, tools and jewelry.
Vinča culture left us many original and interesting artistic forms, especially anthropomorphic figurines, prosopomorphic lids, altars and decorated pottery.
The Vinča was highly developed culture which is known for organized settlements and its early exploitation and processing of copper ore. The oldest traces of metallurgy in Europe were discovered at several sites of Vinča culture in Serbia such as Pločnik and Belovode

Drenovac je jedan od najvećih neolitskih lokaliteta na Balkanu i pokriva površinu veću od 40 hektara. Istraživanjima su otkriveni ostaci naselja koje datira iz ranog neolita (protostarčevačka faza, oko 6200 godina pre nove ere) i kasnog neolita (Vinčanska kultura, 5200 – 4500 godina pre nove ere), a kulturni sloj je dubok 6.5 metara.
Neolitsko naselje u Drenovcu je bilo veoma napredno i organizovano, sastojalo se od velikog broja kuća, koje su građene na malom odstojanju u pravilnim redovima.
Kuće su bile pravougaone, a neke su imale i spratnu konstrukciju. Većina istraženih kuća je uništena u požaru, čiji uzrok nije utvrđen, a u njima su arheolozi pronašli brojne primerke antropomorfnih i zoomorfnih figurina, žrtvenika, grnčarije, peći, alata i nakita.
Vinčanska kultura nam je ostavila mnoge originalne i zanimljive umetničke forme, naročtio antropomorfne figurine, prosopomorfne poklopce, žrtvenike i ukrašenu grnčariju.
Vinčanska kultura je bila veoma napredna, poznata je po organizovanim naseljima i ranoj eksploataciji metala, odnosno bakarne rude. Nastariji tragovi metalurgije u Evropi potiču sa nekoliko lokaliteta Vinčanske kulture u Srbiji, poput Pločnika i Belovoda
