Pod is an archeological site in the municipality of Bugojno, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a prehistoric settlement and hill fort located about 40 metres (130 ft) above the bed of the river Poričnica, a tributary of the Vrbas, on a slope of Mountain Koprivnica above the main road leading from Bugojno to Gornji Vakuf, in the settlement of Čipuljić, today an integral part of Bugojno.
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]
