Management and supply of wild beasts for Roman amphitheatre games: archaeozoological and genetic evidence from Viminacium
Full text linkWild beast spectacles (venationes) in Roman amphitheatres required a complex network of organization – from wildlife capturing and transport to their maintenance, displays in the arena, and processing their corpses after death. Numerous depictions in ancient texts and iconography are related to venationes and they give some insight into the supply and management of wildlife used in amphitheatre games. However, these are considered to be highly exaggerated, and they are usually not concerned with the vast majority of provincial amphitheatres, but only to spectacles held in just a few urban centres (e.g. Rome). Archaeozoological data from areas of several Roman provincial amphitheatres have given additional insights into the usage of wild beasts in arena shows throughout the Empire. One of the largest amphitheatre faunal collections originates from the military amphitheatre of Viminacium – the post of the 7th Claudia Legion, and capital of the province of Moesia Superior. Previous studies on wildlife remains from Viminacium amphitheatre indicated the usage of locally available beasts (brown bears, wild boars and red deer), as well as exotics (big cats). This paper will discuss the supply and management of those beasts through the combination of archaeozoological and genetic evidence. More precisely it will examine their origin via genetic evidence, as well as the way of their use in the arena by examination of skeletal trauma.4th ICAZ Roman Period Working Group Meeting, 9–12th April, Belgrade, Serbi

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Animal Exploitation in the Territory of Present-Day Serbia During the Medieval Period: a Zooarchaeological Perspective
No full textThe paper is a summary of the results of zooarchaeological analyses from Medieval sites in the territory of present-day Serbia. According to the available information, animal exploitation and diet strategies of the inhabitants of Medieval settlements were mainly oriented to the breeding of domestic animals. Remains of economically the most important animals such as cattle, sheep, goat, and pig are the most numerous, while the remains of equids, pets, and domestic birds are less represented in faunal assemblages. Hunting and fishing had a secondary role in the economy of Medieval settlements
The Potential for Horse Breeding in the Vicinity of Viminacium
No full textThe presence of the Roman legion in Viminacium implied the existence of a cavalry unit in its structure. There is no evidence that equids needed by the army were supplied from large centers; rather, it is assumed that they were predominantly bought locally. One of the horse-breeding places could have been located north of the site of Rit – a residential-economic suburb of Viminacium, where these animals could have grazed the grounds all year long. This is suggested by the unusually high ratio of equid remains from this site, the suitability of the terrain, as well as written sources
Storage Practice and Problems with Pests in the Late Neolithic: Two Examples from the Central Balkans
No full textThis paper focuses on post-harvest risks and losses, more specifically – on the effect of insects on stored grain. It
discusses storage techniques developed by Neolithic farmers in order to eradicate insect pests and protect the grain. The paper
is inspired by the finds of grain weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.) in Late Neolithic storages and the need to review the current data
on grain insect pests in the central Balkans (present-day Serbia)
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
