History of Ferizaj  The history of Ferizaj is significant, regardless of its relatively young age as a civilized settlement. Despite its youngness, it has played a considerable role in the economic, political, social and educational role in the region throughout history, from antiquity to the present. The oldest ethno-cultural group who lived in the 6th and 5th millennia BC in the territory of Kosovo was the Starčevo culture. Members of this group constructed their homes near rivers and the river terraces. They made their homes of willows and mud, while their main profession was plowing and farming. Another ethno-cultural group, which took the place of Starčevo culture, is the Vinča culture. These population shifts occurred around 4300 BC. The newcomers also built their settlements near rivers. Such settlements were unfortified, with dense rows of willows and mud houses. Remnants of their material culture, mostly different forms of ceramic vessels and the large numbers of baked clay figures, testify on higher cultural level. The Bubanj-Hum culture, an eneolithic culture, followed. This cultural group expanded from the east, from the territory of today's Bulgaria. When carriers of this ethno-cultural group reached the region before the end of the 6th millennium BC, they destroyed Vinča settlements. Remnants of their material culture have not survived. After Bubanj-Hum, the Baden culture arrived from the Danube, representing its southernmost influence in Kosovo. Baden culture ended before the end of the 3rd millennium BC. In passing from the 2nd to 1st millennium BC in the period of the late Bronze Age, we find a unique way of burial, present in a large part of Central and Southern Europe, in the framework of which was also seen in Kosovo. The ashes of the dead were burned and placed with different items in a large clay pot, and then buried in the ground. Such an urn was accidentally discovered in Varosh. From the mid-8th century BC to the Roman conquest of the region, a new culture developed, belonging to the Dardani. The Dardani burned the dead and buried their remnants in tumuli tombs. In Ferizaj, two such necropolises have been found, one in the locality of Kuline, near Gërlicë, and the other in Mollopolc, along the Ferizaj-Štimlje road. Around 280 BC, Dardania is recorded as a political community ruled by a king.
