The largest single group of Vinča signs: several hundred incised vessels, vessel bases, spindle whorls and figurines from Vasić's 1908 to 1934 excavations and later work at the type-site, now mostly in the National Museum of Serbia. These, with the Turdaș, Banjica and Divostin finds, are the material from which Winn built his 210-sign list; 158 of the 591 documents in the open Winn-based corpus come from Vinča.
