The transition from the Late Neolithic to the Early Eneolithic in northwestern Serbia: Reconsideration and suggestions for future work
Get PDFThe paper analyzed 364 sites from the fifth millennium BC in northwestern Serbia in order to observe the process of population fission from the large Late Neolithic settlements and the formation of smaller settlements tightly integrated with one another in the Early Eneolithic. Special attention was paid to the chronology, size, pedology, and topography of the settlements. Lowland-valley microregions were densely populated, while hilly and highland areas were sparsely populated. Larger sites are concentrated in the microregions of Mačva, Posavina, Pocerina and Tamnava, while the smaller ones are distributed across all microregions. The largest and most numerous settlements were oriented towards very fertile soil types and microregions, such as Mačva, while settlements on soils unsuitable for cultivation prevail in the microregions of Rađevina and Azbukovica, which are characterized by hills and mountains, as well as in the most populated microregion of Mačva. Hard-to-reach settlements of dominant elevations (hillfort – Gradina type) in the hilly and mountainous areas and slightly elevated settlements enclose by ditches in the plain areas (Obrovac type), i.e., the formation of small and very small settlements was viewed from the perspective of the transformation of the Neolithic and the establishment of a new, Eneolithic
way of life. The analysis showed the necessity of modern archaeological prospection for a precise
positioning of all sites in order to increase the quality of pedological and topographical data, as well as for geomagnetic research and targeted projects in order to evaluate the site areas, human activities in the settlements and to control the chronology by dating as many excavated sites with secure contexts as possible
Rabbit holes of bone technology: production and the use wear of perforations on bones, shells and teeth
Get PDFAnimal bones, teeth and mollusc shells were widely used for production of diverse artefacts, including ornaments. Some of the everyday tools, as well as some of the ornaments, needed to be suspended or attached to something, and usually perforations were made. Technology of making perforations through rather thick and resilient materials such as animal hard tissues without breaking them was rather demanding, and several technological procedures were used in prehistoric times. These included incising, drilling with a chipped stone artefact, drilling with bow drill, usually with sand added, while larger holes were made by larger, hollow instruments and with sand added. Sometimes, unfinished perforations served as ornament. There are also examples of naturally pierced mollusc shells that were collected and subsequently used as ornaments.
Use wear on perforations may provide information on how long the item was in use, and whether it was suspended, or it was attached to something, for example, some ornaments were most likely attached to the clothes. On ornaments worn for a very long time, for example, may be noticed that after perforation was broken, another one was made. Bracelets made from mollusc shells were occasionally recycled into pendants, by adding a perforation and other modifications. In this paper will be presented major techniques for production of perforations used in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic period in the Balkans, as well as some of the interesting examples of intensive use wear traces
Zagorka Letica – gonilna sila v ozadju arheologije prazgodovine
Get PDFZnana imena in odkritja v znanstveni sferi imajo običajno podobo moškega, medtem ko njihove sodelavke, pogosto ostanejo v ozadju. To je ena izmed takšnih zgodb.
Arheologija sodi med znanosti, ki so tudi v širši javnosti vedno priljubljene, v veliki meri zaradi fascinantnih skritih zakladov preteklih civilizacij, vsekakor pa k njeni priljubljenosti pripomorejo tudi romantične upodobitve v literaturi, na primer v knjigah Agathe Christie, katere mož Max Mallowan je bil svetovno priznan arheolog. Zato arheologi pogosto postanejo znani tudi izven strogo znanstvenih in strokovnih krogov. Lord Carnarvon in Howard Carter sta z odkritjem Tutankamonove grobnice pred skoraj sto leti postala svetovno znana, na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije pa je bil najbolj znan arheolog Dragoslav Srejović, ki se zaslovel zlasti z odkritji na najdiščih Lepenski Vir in Gamzigrad. Srejovićeve sodelavke in sodelavci so medtem večinoma ostali v njegovi senci, čeprav so imeli enake zasluge za ta odkritja. Posebno mesto med njimi ima Zagorka Letica.[https://omp.zrc-sazu.si/zalozba/catalog/book/2073]

Coinage From the Bithynian Mint of Nicaea at the Territory of Present-Day Serbia
Get PDFDuring the early decades of the 3rd century in the Danubian provinces, circumstances were convenient
for a well-spread circulation of Nicaea provincial coinage in the monetary circulation of Upper Moesia.
Presence of those coins was especially significant during the third and the fourth decade of the 3rd
century, actually in the reign of Severus Alexander and the beginning of reign of Gordian III. A large
number of Nicaea coins from the territory of present-day Serbia have already been published (over 1,200
pieces). We know that a certain number of Nicaea coins is still unpublished and comes from several
museums in Serbia (around 570 pieces), especially from Viminacium Museum (around 600 pieces), but
also from the neighboring countries which originating from the territory of Serbia (around 200 pieces). In
total, there are 2,570 pieces of published and unpublished known Nicaea's coins from the territory of
present-day Serbia.https://www.bg-numismatic-readings.com/program-2
Arheološka istraživanja na lokalitetu Rit (Viminacijum) u 2020. godini
Get PDFNajskorija kampanja zaštitnih iskopavanja sprovedena je od 08. januara do 31. decembra 2020. godine, strateškim sondiranjem terena na pravcu širenja ugljenokopa. Dok su ovi
radovi mahom rezultirali arheološki sterilnim sondama, najznačajnija otkrića posledica su
aktivnosti rotornog bagera na skidanju jalovinskog sloja zemlje, koji je na dubinama od preko
6 metara u više navrata naišao na ostatke plovila. U pitanju su dva monoksila i ostaci dva
broda, imenovanih u skladu sa redosledom otkrića kao Viminacium 1 do 4
A genetic history of the Balkans from Roman frontier to Slavic migrations
No full textThe rise and fall of the Roman Empire was a socio-political process with enormous ramifications for human
history. The Middle Danube was a crucial frontier and a crossroads for population and cultural movement.
Here, we present genome-wide data from 136 Balkan individuals dated to the 1st millennium CE. Despite
extensive militarization and cultural influence, we find little ancestry contribution from peoples of Italic
descent. However, we trace a large-scale influx of people of Anatolian ancestry during the Imperial period.
Between 250 and 550 CE, we detect migrants with ancestry from Central/Northern Europe and the Steppe,
confirming that ‘‘barbarian’’ migrations were propelled by ethnically diverse confederations. Following the
end of Roman control, we detect the large-scale arrival of individuals who were genetically similar to modern
Eastern European Slavic-speaking populations, who contributed 30%–60% of the ancestry of Balkan people,
representing one of the largest permanent demographic changes anywhere in Europe during the Migration
Period
Улога ровова на каснонеолитском локалитету Дреновац код Параћина
Get PDFУчесталом применом геофизичке проспекције у последње две деценије остварен је значајан помак у дефинисању величине, облика и организације каснонеолитских насеља. Осим увида у структуру насеља, геомагнетном проспекцијом омогућено је сагледавање разноликих начина ограђивања, односно утврђивања насеобинског простора, као и циљаних истраживања на периферним деловима или ван насеља.
Захваљујући геомагнетним истраживањима, на локалитету Дреновац регистроване су три лучне аномалије, које су различитих димензија и окружују различите делове насеља. Иако је Дреновац вишеслојан локалитет, са траговима живота из периода раног и касног неолита, као и гвозденог доба, претпоставља се да је реч о рововима насталим током трајања каснонеолитског насеља. Будући да је каснонеолитско насеље у Дреновцу трајало око седам векова, поставља се питање да ли су сви ровови били истовремени или означавају фазе ширења насеља, или пак одвајају део насеља са посебном наменом. У оквиру археолошких кампања 2016. и 2017. године вршена су циљана истраживања две лучне аномалије. Ради детаљног испитивања састава, наслојавања и карактера рова, издвајани су и узорци за геоархеолошке анализе.
У овом раду ће се дискутовати о резултатима и значају геомагнетне проспекције, археолошких ископавања и геоархеолошких истраживања у испитивању ровова. Имајући у виду да је изградња ровова комунални пројекат, разумевање њихове улоге, хронологије и начина градње је врло значајно за сагледавање историје насеља, као и социокултурних потреба заједнице и разлога њиховог постојања
Praistorijska naselja u severoistočnoj Srbiji od neolita do mlađeg gvozdenog doba
Get PDFSeveroistočna Srbija je najviše poznata po svojim mineralnim bogatstvima i geomorfološkim karakteristikama. Na njenoj teritoriji nalaze se neka od najstarijih paleolitskih i mezolitskih naselja, kao i Rudna Glava, najstariji rudnik bakra u Evropi. Zbog velikih zaštitnih istraživanja u Đerdapu i brojnih sistematskim rekognosciranja i iskopavanja, možemo slobodno da tvrdimo da je ovo područje jedno od najbolje istraženih delova Srbije. U ovome radu osvrćemo se na distribuciju naselja kroz sve etape praistorie na ovome području, od starijeg neolita pa sve do dolaska rimljana
