The fortified site was first inhabited in the early Bronze Age[1] and even eneolithic (2500 to 1700 BC).[2] After the Bronze Age it was uninhabited for four centuries, until repopulated in the early Iron Age (~700 BC)[3] till the turn of the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE.[2] Stratified materials from Pod defined Central Bosnian cultural group of the late Bronze Age. It was declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4]
