In 2017 the archaeological "Pusta Reka Project" started, focusing on the beginning of the Neolithic in the Leskovac Basin. It is a collaborative effort between the OREA Institute (Institute for Oriental and European Archaeology) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, based in Vienna, and the Institute of Archaeology Belgrade, in cooperation with the National Museum in Leskovac. Funding is provided by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF Project P32096) and heads of the project are Barbara Horejs and Aleksandar Bulatović.
