Several archaeological sites have been registered by the staff of the Museum of Murska Sobota in and around Bukovnica. Smaller excavations were carried out near the village of Kot, west of the village. Settlement remains have been discovered: columns of former houses, stove remains and cavities. The finds included many pottery objects and stone tools. Some of them belong to a settlement at the beginning of the Copper Age or at the end of the Late Stone Age (Polish culture). Most of them date back to the early and Middle Copper Age (Lasina Culture and stitched-groove ceramic culture). One of the most important finds is a clay idol adorned with ridges, presumably illustrating clothing.
