Crvena Stijena — Protected Archaeological Rock-Shelter Context Rockhounding Status & Field Guide
Montenegro’s national tourism authority identifies Crvena Stijena near Petrovići as a roughly 180,000-year-old archaeological cave with 31 cultural layers. Because the scientific deposits are the value of the site, it is mapped only as protected context and precise navigation is intentionally disabled.
