AB  - Since the late 14th century, throughout the Modern period, the Ottoman conquest of Serbia led to the devastation and desecration of churches and monasteries, looting of their assets, and the conversion of some sacred Christian sites into mosques. Despite this, the Serbian Orthodox Church persisted and even expanded during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. While some monasteries fell into disrepair, others prospered, such as the St. Barbara Monastery, located on Reljina Gradina near Novi Pazar (Southwestern Serbia). Based on written sources, the monastery was built during the 16th century, which was proved by archaeological excavations. It was burned down at the end of the 17th century. The excavations have also confirmed an older Medieval necropolis beneath the monastery buildings. The monastery consists of the church, east and west blocks of buildings, and a surrounding wall. It also includes a well, refectory, and kitchen. During the excavations in 2022 and 2023, a small surface in the western part within and outside of the churchyard was excavated. Archaeological material of the 16th and 17th centuries was not abundant, consisting mostly of kitchen and tableware, and less numerous small finds and faunal remains. This paper aims to present faunal analysis results from St. Barbara Monastery, and reveal the dietary habits and characteristics of everyday life of monastery inhabitants from a zooarchaeological perspective. The analysis suggests that domestic animal meat and fish were predominantly consumed. Caprine remains were the most abundant, as the most significant source for exploitation of primary and secondary products. Albeit small, the faunal assemblage from a few contexts of St. Barbara uncovered by now is significant since it is the only known Modern period monastery faunal collection from the territory of Serbia.

AB  - This paper represents the first results of zooarchaeological analysis of animal remains from the fortified palace Felix Romuliana – Gamzigrad in eastern Serbia. The faunal material derives from the Late Antique (the second half of the 4th and the 5th centuries) and the Early Byzantine (the end of the 5th to the beginning of the 7th century) contexts investigated in the tower 15 of the later fortification which was built during the reign of Emperor Galerius (293–311) in the first decade of the 4th century CE. According to the results, some similarities and differences were noted between the periods in question. Namely, during both periods the most important animal was pig and the patterns of exploitation were similar. Cattle exploitation was oriented towards secondary products in both phases of the settlement, however, there is a slight decrease in cattle ratio and its size during the Early Byzantine period which could suggest the decline in the importance of this species though time. Regarding caprines, in the Late Antique period the local community mainly exploited secondary products, while in the Early Byzantine period the focus shifted to meat exploitation. Furthermore, the increase in numbers of indicated species was observed during the Early Byzantine period. The low amount of wild animal and fish remains suggests that hunting and fishing were periodically practised by the local population.

AB  - The analysed faunal material was collected during the rescue archaeological campaigns conducted between 2014 and 2018 by the National Museum Čačak at the Dvorište Gimnazije site in Čačak (Western Serbia). The Late Antique building remains, constructed in the 3rd–4th century, preserved at the foundation level were discovered at the site. After its destruction, building was reused during the late 4th and the 5th century but in a more primitive manner. Remains of a few pits, hearths, and probably primitive dwellings belong to this horizon. The 3rd horizon at this site dates to the Late Medieval period (the 15th and the first half of the 16th century), and it is represented by a Christian necropolis dug into the Roman building. Faunal material is more abundant in the Late Antique period than in the Late Medieval context. The remains of mammals form the majority of the faunal sample. Domestic species are more frequent within the assemblage and include cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, horses, dogs, and cats. Furthermore, wild species are represented by wild boar, red deer, roe deer, fox, and hare. The most common are the remains of cattle, followed by pigs and caprines. Among wild mammals, the most numerous remains belong to wild boar and red deer. The greater importance of domestic mammals is expected for the Late Antique and Medieval archaeological sites in Serbia. In addition, the bird remains were confirmed as well. Among them, the remains of chicken were the most numerous. Since this is a newly discovered site, additional archaeological excavations in the vicinity are needed to create a broader picture of this site and its role within the currently unnamed ancient settlement that lasted throughout the centuries by the Western Morava River. Moreover, new zooarchaeological research will enable a better understanding of human–animal relationships of the inhabitants of this settlement in the past.

AB  - Previous archaeozoological research indicates that in the area of present-day Serbia during Late Antiquity (4th to the beginning of the 7th century AD), animal exploitation strategies and nutritional practices were primarily focused on the breeding of domestic animals, with hunting and fishing playing a secondary role. Alongside a few remains of species that were kept as pets, the predominant economically significant species – cattle, caprines, and pigs – are frequently found at archaeological sites. Biometric data reveals changes in the size of animals through time, indicating that animal husbandry experienced transformations. The degeneration of animal breeds can be attributed to general poverty and frequent conflicts in the region between “barbarian forces” and Eastern Roman Empire during the period in question. Other factors influencing the development of animal husbandry include population density, settlement size and duration, which dictated the demand for meat and the need for working animals based on agricultural practices. Unlike domestic animals, remains of the game are rare and primarily consist of frequently hunted species. While fishing was practiced by the inhabitants of the Late Antique settlements, fish remains are scarce, likely due to the manual collection of archaeofaunal remains. Despite the limited extent of archaeozoological research on the Late Antique settlements, the findings offer valuable insights into the methods of animal exploitation and indicate the presence of regional variations, particularly between Vojvodina and the territory south of the Sava and Danube rivers. This paper aims to provide insight into animal exploitation strategies in different settlement types by bringing together archaeozoological data. The comparisons of the relative distributions of their remains, their body part profiles, age and sex data, pathological changes, butchery marks between different archaeological sites, and site types will be used to explore plausible diachronic and contextual differences in animal exploitation strategies.

AB  - Током археолошких истраживања спроведених 2022. године на локалитету Св. Варвара на Рељиној градини у селу Лукоцрево код Новог Пазара, истражен је западни део манастирског комплекса: делови обзиђа, просторија и новооткривени бунар. Од покретногархеолошког материјала откривена је како кухињска, тако и трпезнагрнчарија, ситни метални налази, антрополошки остаци и животињске кости. На основу писаних извора и археолошких налаза констатовано једа се ради о налазишту са више културних хоризоната, од којих старији припадају средњовековном периоду, а млађи 16. и 17. веку. Фаунални остаци потичу из оба периода и карактерише их јако из ражена фрагментација (цели и скоро цели примерци чине 19% узорка), која је углавном последица људских активности попут ломљења костију у сврху експлоатације коштане сржи и касапљења животињских трупала. Највећи број примерака потиче изслоја и целина датованих у период 16. и 17.века, док је најмање животињских остатака откривено у целинама са измешаним материјалом из периода средњег и новог века. Археозоолошка анализа показала је да су у фауналном скупу овог локалитета најбројнији остаци сисара, а да се поред њих јављају и птице, рибе и водоземци. Међу остацима сисара, најзаступљеније су домаће врсте, пре свега, овце/козе, говеда и свиње. Класи птица припадају кости кокоши и пар примерака одређених до породице фазанки, док се од риба срећу сом, шаран и јегуља. Посебан депозит представља бунар у коме су откривени готово цели скелети говечета и два јазавца, као и остаци жаба и свраке. Прелиминарни резултати указују на то да су говече и домаћа перад били нешто значајнији током периода 16. и 17. века, да се остаци дивљачи јављају искључиво у средњовековним хоризонтима, док су рибе откривене само у млађој фази. Иако је фаунални узорак скроман (и иако добијене резултате треба прихватити са резервом), значајан је због тога што пружа увид у начине експлоатације животиња и представља одличну базу за будућа истраживања која ће допунити слику о улози животиња у економији манастирског комплекса Св.

AB  - This paper discusses the exploitation of equids and camels throughout the Late Antique and the Early Byzantine periods in the territory of present-day Serbia. During the Roman times, horses, donkeys, mules, and camels were used to carry loads in long/short distances either for army needs or in caravan trade, and the usage of those animals in the region is evidenced by archaeofaunal data. By bringing together zooarchaeological data on equids and camels, this paper aims to provide an insight into their exploitation strategies in different settlement types from the 4th
century to the beginning of the 7th century AD in the territory of present-day Serbia. The comparisons of the relative distributions of their remains, their body-part profiles, age and sex data, pathological changes, as well as butchery marks between different archaeological sites, site types, and periods, will be used to explore plausible diachronic and contextual differences in the strategies of exploitation of indicated animals.

AB  - The Roman Festival in Ptuj aims to connect the local community and visitors with the Roman heritage and present a part of Roman life that includes the army, gladiatorial fights, conflicts with the Barbarians, traditional Roman food, craftsmen, etc. Within the project “Sadike na prihodnost” supported by the Erasmus + programme, some educational activities were organised during the event. This was a good opportunity for the creation of specific and thematically defined archaeological workshops, which were used as a good educational approach in communication between professionals and the wider public. Visitors were also able to get acquainted with the skills required for the slingshot used by Roman soldiers, through a practical workshop that students prepared. In such a way it can be said that the project results contributed to a widening educational approach towards the Ptuj public and the local community.

AB  - The 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.

AB  - Досадашња археозоолошка истраживања указују на то да су на простору данашње Србије, током средњег века, стратегије експлоатације животиња и стратегије исхране становника биле усмерене углавном ка узгоју домаћих врста животиња, док су лов и риболов имали споредну улогу. Поред малобројних остатака врста које су гајене као кућни љубимци, еквиди који су, углавном, служили за транспорт, и домаће живине, на налазиштима се најчешће јављају економски најзначајније врсте, односно, говече, овца, коза и свиња. Биометријски подаци указују на то да је сточарство током средњег века било неразвијено, будући да га одликују ниске и "примитивне" расе домаћих животиња. До деградације раса долази услед општег сиромаштва и учесталих ратова након римског периода, али су и број становника, величина насеља, као и њихово трајање и организација, фактори који су, такође, утицали на степен развоја сточарства, будући да су условљавали потребе за одређеном количином меса, али и за теретним животињама, у зависности од степена бављења земљорадњом. За разлику од домаћих животиња, остаци дивљачи нису чести и углавном је реч о уобичајеним ловним врстама. Иако су се становници средњовековних насеља, свакако, бавили и риболовом, остаци риба су ретки, што је (делимично) последица ручног сакупљања животињских костију без просејавања земљишта. И поред тога, што је степен археозоолошке истражености средњовековних налазишта низак, досадашњи резултати омогућују увид у начин експлоатације животиња и указују на постојање извесних регионалних разлика на територији Србије током средњег века.
