AB  - Various socio-economic changes, including the introduction of metallurgy, mark
the long duration of the Vinča culture. For detailed studies of the transformations of the Vinča
societies, analyses of subsistence and economy must also be placed on the chronological
line. The small-sized excavations carried out in 2018 at the Late Neolithic site of Jablanica
(c. 5000–4700 BC) in central Serbia provided a faunal assemblage that enabled analyses of
animal exploitation patterns, bone technology and also provided the samples for radiocarbon
dating. The faunal remains show the predominance of domestic species, especially cattle.
The site also yielded approximately 90 artefacts produced from bone and antler, including
finished objects, preforms and manufacturing debris. Predominant raw materials were bones,
mainly long bones, metapodials and ribs, followed by red deer antlers. Also, one artefact from
Spondylus shell was found. Awls were the most frequent techno-type, and the typological
repertoire also included other pointed tools, scrapers and other tools. Several preforms (mainly
awls) and manufacture debris provided evidence of a working area or workshop within the
settlement. Absolute dates showed that the beginning of the Late Neolithic occupation at the
site of Jablanica could be equated with the relative depths of 4.5 meters at the type site of
Vinča – Belo Brdo, or the late Vinča Pločnik I (Vinča C) period, while the radiocarbon dates
associated with the end of the Late Neolithic occupation of the site can be correlated to layers
between 4.0 and 3.5 meters at the type site of Vinča, i.e., the Vinča Pločnik IIa.

AB  - Zooarchaeological studies of the early medieval contexts are very scarce in present-day Serbia. Only a few studies dealing with the role of animals in funerary rites or the animal economy of settlements are currently available. For the first time, a detailed analysis of two complete animal skeletons from one early medieval settlement in the country will be presented in this paper. Excavations at the multilayered archaeological site of Divičmeđ in central Serbia have revealed the remains of a fortified early medieval settlement dated to the tenth–eleventh centuries. The excavations inside the settlement ramparts, among other features, revealed an oven most likely used for pottery production. A completely preserved dog skeleton was discovered at the bottom, while a pig skeleton was found in the oven’s upper layers. These skeletons indicate secondary use of the oven and prompt further questions about possible cultural impact and depositional scenarios, and they also shed light on the everyday life management within the settlement. In this paper, an interdisciplinary approach will be applied to dog and pig skeletons, which will further give us a rare opportunity to reconstruct their osteobiographies. Radiocarbon dating of the skeletons will provide us with the absolute chronology necessary for a better understanding and reconstruction of deposition processes. This study will also help us to address research questions about broader contexts of human–animal interactions in the country during the early medieval period.

AB  - The Neolithic period in the areas surrounding Belgrade is relatively well researched, with numerous sites
known from field surveys and small-scale excavations. However, the majority of these excavations were carried
out in the 20th century, with recovery techniques that have been improved upon since. The site of Bataševo is
among rare Early Neolithic sites that was recently excavated, and therefore provided more carefully collected
faunal remains. This enabled us to examine both animal husbandry and the use of animal hard tissue for artefact
production. In this paper is presented the bone tool assemblage from the site, which, although rather small, yielded
some interesting results regarding the bone technology in the Starčevo culture.
