AB  - Architectural, artefactual and subsistence evidence from sites of the Late Neolithic Vinča culture network (5400-4500
BC) in southeast Europe suggests that the autonomous household was the basic socio-economic unit. Archaeological
reconstructions posit that one or several adjacent buildings define individual households, and that these (groups of)
structures were the context of economic, social and ritual activities. How/where/when these activities were conducted
was likely defined at the communal level, prescribed by supra-household social controls and embedded in ideological
framework. Although no clear indications of social stratification are observable at Vinča culture sites, some interhousehold status competition would have been present and was negotiated through mechanisms such as sharing and
exchange, and communal works and events, the latter, for instance, documented by the faunal evidence of feasting.
Within the community-wide pattern of behaviour that ensured cohesion, social differentiation could have been
maintained through household-specific food-related practices, food choices and culinary traditions. These could have
served to emphasise individual affinities and identities, to delineate the smallest social units, without damaging the
sense of community. As such, they may have even been encouraged. In this presentation, we look at the archaeobotanical
and zooarchaeological evidence of food production and consumption from a selection of Vinča culture households, and
reconstruct the sources of food, their origin and seasonality. We compare the observations for individual cases, in order
to identify potential inter-household differences in the choice and use of (key) resources. We speculate on what effect
such differences could have had on the social fabric of the community: whether through them the social bonds were
strengthened, undermined, or both; and whether this was of relevance in the context of the dissolution of the Vinča
culture.

AB  - Bird bones were rarely used for production of artefacts, due to various reasons – they were much smaller and thinner than bones of mammals usually selected for tool production; they also have specific shapes and fine structure, inadequate for the majority of common artefact types. They were occasionally used for some specific objects, such as flutes, pipes, needle cases, amulets, etc. When it comes to the Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age periods in south-eastern Europe, bird bone artefacts are rare; only few have been discovered thus far. In this paper, we will present one additional finding of a bird bone artefact, from the site of Zók–Gradina, situated in present-day Hungary. Excavations carried out in 1920 by the National Museum in Belgrade revealed a multi-period site, with major parts of the stratigraphic sequence belonging to the Late Eneolithic / Early Bronze Age Vučedol culture (2900–2500/2400 BC). Vučedol layers yielded relatively large quantities of worked bone, including one artefact produced from a bird bone, that will be presented here. The object in question was produced from the right radius of a Cygnus sp.; it is in the shape of an elongated tube; carefully cut at both ends. The function of this item is uncertain – it may have served as some sound-producing instrument (flute), or it was some sort of a handle or needle case. 
It is interesting to note that bird representations, in particular ornithomorphic vessels, are among the specific traits of the Vučedol culture; therefore, the choice of a bird bone for the production of this artefact may have had a certain symbolic significance as well.

AB  - The pronounced growth in livestock populations since the 1950s has altered the epidemiological and evolutionary trajectory of their associated pathogens. For example, Marek’s disease virus (MDV), which causes lymphoid tumors in chickens, has experienced a marked increase in virulence over the past century. Today, MDV infections kill >90% of unvaccinated birds, and controlling it costs more than US$1 billion annually. By sequencing MDV genomes derived from archeological chickens, we demonstrate that it has been circulating for at least 1000 years. We functionally tested the Meq oncogene, one of 49 viral genes positively selected in modern strains, demonstrating that ancient MDV was likely incapable of driving tumor formation. Our results demonstrate the power of ancient DNA approaches to trace the molecular basis of virulence in economically relevant pathogens.

AB  - In 1956, the Institute of Archaeology and the National Museum in Belgrade
carried out excavations at the site of Supska, near Ćuprija, in Central Serbia. Based on
the material culture findings, the site is mostly known as a Late Neolithic one; however,
archaeological findings from other periods were discovered too. In the 1956 excavations,
the cultural layers, and archaeological features with the Vinča culture archaeological
materials were examined, as well as one grave, marked as Grave 1. The results of
this excavation have been previously published in one monograph; however, an anthropological
analysis of the individual found in Grave 1 has not been conducted before.
In this paper, we present the results of contextual, bioanthropological, stable isotopes
and C14 analyses of human skeletal remains found in Grave 1. The results showed that
a young adult, who had experienced nonspecific metabolic stress during childhood,
as evidenced by traces of linear enamel hypoplasia and porotic hyperostosis, was buried
in this grave. AMS date revealed that this individual lived between 1280–1390 cal.AD, while the results of the stable isotope analyses suggested that it had mixed diet
based on C4 plants (such as millet) and/or C3
plants, with larger amounts of animal
protein, possible deriving from freshwater fish.

AB  - Advances in paleogenomic research have provided new information about domesticated animals,
but we still know little about the history of cats. Until now, only one subspecies, the Near
Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), was known to have been domesticated. The domestication
areas were assumed to be the Near East and Egypt. From this region, cats spread to the
Mediterranean and beyond. It has been accepted that the Roman legions played the primary
role in the expansion of cats through northern Europe. However, we found that cats that carried
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of wildcats from the Near East were present in Central
Europe as early as the Neolithic, well before Roman times, and may have been associated
with Neolithic expansion. Our new results reveal the presence of the mtDNA haplotypes of the
Near Eastern wildcats in Poland even in the pre-Neolithic period. This may suggest that the
Near Eastern wildcats could have spread across Europe independently of agricultural expansion.
Consequently, the natural range of Near Eastern wildcats may have been much broader than
previously assumed. To understand how and when domestic cats appeared in Central Europe,
we performed a target enrichment of ca. 57,000 genomic SNPs. We believe that this will allow us
to definitively determine whether the appearance of the Near Eastern wildcat mtDNA in Central
Europe was a natural admixture between the two subspecies or whether it was a human-induced
dispersal of tame/domestic cats. The study is supported by the National Science Centre, Poland,

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  - The Late Neolithic period in Southeast Serbian Banat is marked by a host of Vinča
culture sites located between the Danube and the Vršac mountains, the south end of the
Carpathian mountain range in this area. It is a predominantly flat landscape enclosed by
extensive former marshes of Mali and Veliki Rit in the northwest, Vršac mountains in the
northeast, and Deliblato sands and River Nera in the southwest and the southeast. Over
40 late Neolithic sites are known throughout the area, most from surveys, but some also
excavated. Between 2020 and 2022, as part of the Regional Absolute Chronologies of the
Late Neolithic in Serbia project, funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, At and
Potporanj sites were radiocarbon dated to produce detailed, Bayesian statistical model-based
chronologies that could be used as a local chronological reference for future researchers
of the Late Neolithic in the region. In this chapter, we present unified chronological data
attributable to the beginning and ending phases of the Neolithic in this region.

AB  - Despite significant progress in paleogenomics and the increasing amount of new data on
animal domestication, we still know little about the history of cats. Until now, it was
known that only one subspecies, the Near Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), was
domesticated. The domestication area was assumed to be the Near East during the
Neolithic period, with a prominent role in ancient Egypt. From this region, the cats spread
through the Mediterranean and beyond. It has been accepted that the primary role in the
expansion of cats through northern Europe was that of the Roman legions. However, we
found that cats that carried mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of wildcats from the
Near East were present in Central Europe already in the Neolithic, much before Roman
times. This indicates that the cats' route from the domestication centers to Central
Europe might have been more complex than previously thought and could have been
related to the Neolithic expansion. Our new results reveal the presence of the mtDNA
haplotypes of the Near Eastern wildcats in Poland even in the pre-Neolithic period. This
may suggest that the Near Eastern wildcats could spread across Europe independently of
the expansion of farming, and, in consequence, the natural range of the Near Eastern
wildcat could have been much broader than previously assumed. To understand how and
when domestic cats appeared in Central Europe, we perform a target enrichment of ca.
57,000 genomic SNPs. We believe that it will allow us to finally determine whether the
appearance of the Near Eastern wildcat mtDNA in Central Europe was a natural admixture
between two subspecies or was human-mediated dispersal of tamed/domesticated cats.

AB  - The excavations at Svinjarička Čuka in the South Morava Valley in Serbia are presented with new primary data from the field and related material and scientific analyses. Newly recovered architectural remains from the classical Starčevo period revealed a variety of domestic features, so far belonging to an earlier and later occupation phase at the river terrace dating between 5700/5600 and 5500 BC. Details of the stratigraphy and certain materials are presented for selected domestic contexts, including one potential ‘Starčevo house’. Archaeological and scientific analyses are discussed and contextualised within the Neolithisation process in the chapters on new radiocarbon data and their Bayesian modelling, pottery studies, chipped stones and their raw material analyses, grinding kits, animal remains, archaeobotanical results and charcoal analysis. The later occupation at the site is presented with new results for the Middle and Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age, including domestic contexts, radiocarbon data and materials.

AB  - The paper presents the concept, methodology and preliminary results of the project Regional Absolute Chronologies of
the Late Neolithic in Serbia that started in 2020 using a case study from the site of At near Vršac in northeast Serbia. The
aim of the project is to create multiple new regional chronological strands consisting of Bayesian modelled radiocarbon
dates from sites with material culture belonging to the tradition of the Late Neolithic period Vinča culture. Combining
statistical seriation of pottery assemblages and the Bayesian statistical modelling framework of several case studies from
various regions of Serbia, new regional chronological anchor points will be created, thus avoiding constant comparison
with the assemblage and dating of the eponymous site of Belo Brdo in Vinča. This approach will overcome the effects of
the regionalization of material culture evident in most ceramic assemblages located further than 100 kilometres away
from the type site. Using archival archaeological records from previous excavations will enable an establishment of a
geography of chronological reference points which would then provide new insights into the dynamics of the evolution of
the Late Neolithic Vinča societies and changes that occurred throughout its territory during the late sixth and the larger
part of the fifth millennia BCE.

AB  - This paper aims to assess the etiology and differential diagnosis of severe pathological
lesions in wild and domestic cattle from the Late Neolithic site of At-Vršac in the
northeast part of the present-day Serbia. Excavations of this multilayered site
revealed the remains of a Late Neolithic settlement belonging to the Vinča culture
network of the Central Balkans. An aurochs metacarpal bone, two domestic cattle
fragments of fused ulna and radius and of tibia, all with massive bone proliferations
were recovered during the archaeological excavations in 1976. Paleopathological
study was undertaken using an interdisciplinary approach, including AMS dating, radiography,
computed tomography (CT), and histopathology. The results show severe
oblique healed fracture with secondary pronounced bone reaction in the aurochs
metacarpal bone and in the domestic cattle ulna–radius, while traumatic alteration
infected with disseminated osteomyelitis was found in the domestic cattle tibia.
These pathologies of wild and domestic cattle are discussed to reveal the level of
environmental and human influence on the origin and development of the lesions in
the Late Neolithic cattle.

fragments of fused ulna and radius and of tibia, all with massive bone proliferations
were recovered during the archaeological excavations in 1976. Paleopathological
study was undertaken using an interdisciplinary approach, including AMS dating, radiography,
computed tomography (CT), and histopathology. The results show severe
oblique healed fracture with secondary pronounced bone reaction in the aurochs
metacarpal bone and in the domestic cattle ulna–radius, while traumatic alteration
infected with disseminated osteomyelitis was found in the domestic cattle tibia.
These pathologies of wild and domestic cattle are discussed to reveal the level of
environmental and human influence on the origin and development of the lesions in
the Late Neolithic cattle.",

AB  - This paper aims to present the first evidence of animal diseases from the Central Balkan Eneolithic, a prehistoric period that lasted about 2000 years. The eponymous site of Bubanj in south-eastern Serbia provided a diachronic perspective on animal pathologies developing during this long time period. We analyzed 71 animal remains showing evidence of pathological changes. All of the remains exhibiting anomalies were subjected to macroscopic analysis, while the specimens with the most prominent alterations also underwent X-ray and CT imaging. Anomalies were observed mostly in domestic animals. Only in caprines were all of the different types of anomalies present, with dental pathologies being the most frequent. Degenerative bone alterations were noted in around 78% of the domestic cattle specimens, while congenital anomalies were the most common type in domestic pigs. Pathological changes were also noted in dogs, aurochs, red deer, wild boars, beavers, and bears. In most cases, the anomalies were caused by hereditary and environmental factors. Caprine dental pathologies were the result of aging and poor-quality nutrition. In domestic cattle, besides being caused by environmental factors, the degenerative alterations might also have been work related. The lack of paleopathological data from other Eneolithic sites in the region, and the scarce or non-existent evidence from the previous (Neolithic) and succeeding (Bronze Age) periods prevented comparative analyses and discussion of the results within wider temporal and spatial frames. Establishing a paleopathological investigation of animal remains with anomalies from the prehistoric Central Balkans should be a standard, in order to provide us with a better understanding of human-animal interactions.

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  - Bird bones were rarely used for production of artefacts, due to various reasons – they were much smaller and thinner than mammal bones; they also have  specific shapes and fine structure, inadequate for majority of common artefact types. However, they were ocasionally used for some specific objects, such as flutes, pipes, needle cases, amulets, etc. When it concerns Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age periods in the south-eastern Europe, bird bone artefacts are rare; only few were discovered thus far. 
The multi-layer prehistoric site of Zók is situated in present-day Hungary, in vicinity of Pécs. Major parts of its stratigraphic sequence belong to the Late Eneolithic / Early Bronze Age Vučedol culture, but there are also certain remains that may be attributed to the early and middle Eneolithic. The site was extensively excavated in 1920 by National museum in Belgrade. These excavations also unearthed large quantities of worked bone, mainly from Late Vučedol layers, including one artefact produced from bird bone, that will be presented here. The item in question was produced from right radius from Cygnus sp. 
The object in question is in the shape of an elongated tube; carefully cut at both ends. The function of this item is uncertain – it may have served as some sound-producing instrument (flute), or it was some sort of handle or needle case. 
It is interesting to note that bird representations, in particular ornitomorphic vessels, are one of the specific tratis of the Vučedol culture; therefore, the choice of bird bone for production of this artefact may have had a certain symbolic significance as well.

AB  - Druga polovina 5. i veći deo 4. milenijuma pre nove ere na centralnom Balkanu označava se kao period prelaza iz kasnog neolita (tj. vinčanske kulture) u rani eneolit, i eneolitski period. Na osnovu značajnih promena u obrascima naseljavanja i veličini naselja, u pogrebnoj praksi i u materijalnoj kulturi, smatra se da je tokom prelaznog perioda došlo do razvoja novih obrazaca u društvenim odnosima i organizaciji, u ekonomiji i proizvodnji i u ideologiji postvinčanskih zajednica, koje su, za razliku od prethodnih velikih, dugotrajnih naselja, počele da osnivaju manje, relativno kratkotrajne naseobine, uglavnom na prethodno nenaseljenim lokacijama. Različiti faktori su predloženi kao pokretači ovih transformacija - društveni sukobi, invazije sa strane, klimatske promene, te pad raspoloživih prirodnih resursa i nedovoljno hrane. Za razmatranje eventualnih klimatskih promena tokom eneolita ne postoje nikakvi podaci, a doskora se veoma malo znalo i o ekonomiji zasnovanoj na biljkama i životinjama u postneolitskom periodu. Najjasnije formulisan zaključak o uzrocima raspada kasnoneolitskog društva, koji nalazi i najviše potpore u arheološkim saznanjima, jeste taj da su vinčanske zajednice dostigle granice održivosti zajedničkog života (u sociološkom smislu), što je dovelo do "fisije" i fragmentacije velikih zajednica na manje grupe. Sličan model kasnoneolitsko-ranoeneolitskih društvenih promena predložen je i za Karpatski basen - "popuštanje" društvene kohezije kao odgovor na moguće društvene tenzije. Pored promena i novih trendova koje nastupaju početkom i tokom eneolita na centralnom Balkanu, primetan je i visok stepen sličnosti/kontinuiteta u pojedinim aspektima života; na primer, pored manjih, razvijaju se i velika, dugotrajna eneolitska naselja, poput onih na lokalitetima Bubanj i Velika Humska Čuka u južnoj Srbiji. Dok su ovi i drugi aspekti eneolitskih zajednica u izvesnoj meri poznati i istraženi, proizvodnja hrane je doskora bila velika nepoznanica. Do sada je pak zooarheološki i arheobotanički istraženo nekoliko eneolitskih lokaliteta, a nova iskopavanja na Bubnju donela su važne podatke o uzgajanju i upotrebi domaćih biljaka i životinja. Iako su podaci i dalje skromni, posebno oni o poljoprivrednim aktivnostima, sada je ipak moguć uvid u pojedine aspekte proizvodnje hrane. U ovom radu smo do sada prikupljene zooarheološke i arheobotaničke podatke sa Bubnja razmotrili u širem geografskom i hronološkom kontekstu tako što smo uporedili saznanja o uzgajanju i upotrebi životinja i biljaka sa do sada analiziranih kasnoneolitskih i eneolitskih nalazišta na teritoriji Srbije. Uporedna analiza pokazala je da su iste vrste domaćih životinja - goveda, ovce/koze i svinje - gajene i u neolitu i u eneolitu. S druge strane, ostaci ovaca i koza i svinja su, spram govečeta, zastupljeniji u uzorcima sa eneolitskih nalazišta. Utisak je, stoga, da je značaj ovaca i koza, kao i svinja, bio veći u eneolitu, što je važna razlika u odnosu na kasni neolit, tokom kog je goveče bilo dominantno. Postoje, međutim, i izuzeci od ovog opšteg zapažanja; na primer, na nalazištu Vinča - Belo brdo, relativni odnos ekonomski najznačajnih domaćih životinja je manje-više isti tokom oba perioda. Takođe, na kasnoeneolitskom nalazištu Kudoš-Šašinci, većina ostataka pripada domaćem govečetu. Preliminarni zaključak je da generalno ujednačena slika karakteristična za kasni neolit postaje raznovrsnija tokom eneolita i javljaju se jasne regionalne i hronološke razlike u pogledu značaja domaćih životinja. Arheobotanički podaci pokazuju da se spektar gajenih vrsta na nalazištima kasnog neolita i eneolita u Srbiji uveliko preklapa, te da osnovne kulture poznate iz neolita - jednozrna i dvozrna pšenica - ostaju osnov poljoprivredne proizvodnje i tokom eneolita. I ovde se, međutim, kao i kod domaćih životinja, uočavaju moguće razlike između lokaliteta. Recimo, u kasnoeneolitskom sloju Gomolave zabeležena je veća količina ječma, što je za sada jedini slučaj kako za neolit tako i za eneolit, jer se ječam na drugim analiziranim lokalitetima iz ovih perioda javlja samo u tragovima. Podaci sa Bubnja ukazuju na mogući rast u važnosti mahunarki, tačnije sočiva, od ranog ka kasnom eneolitu, te manje značajnu ulogu dvozrne pšenice kroz vreme, ali je broj ostataka izuzetno Mali za čvrste zaključke. Dok relativno nepromenjen izbor gajenih vrsta kroz kasni neolit i eneolit ističe kontinuitet, donekle su vidljive potencijalne razlike između lokaliteta u stepenu proizvodnje pojedinih poljoprivrednih kultura. Moguće je da dolazi do promene u metodama i intenzitetu zemljoradnje, a vrlo verovatno u vezi sa promenama u stočarstvu, recimo u pogledu potrebe za proizvodnjom stočne hrane ili varijacijama u veličini površina pod usevima ili onim namenjenim za ispašu. Uvid u ove i slične aspekte proizvodnje hrane u eneolitu zahteva znatno veću količinu podataka od one koja je sada na raspolaganju.
AB  - In the central Balkans, the period from the second half of the 5th through the mid-3rd millennium BC is known as the Eneolithic. The earlier part of this period has been described as the transition between the Late Neolithic and Early Eneolithic and the time of transformations-societal, economic and ideological. Prevailing understanding of the archaeological record from this period is that the remarkable shifts in the settlement system reflect disintegration of the Neolithic society. What effect did this have on food economy? This question has not yet been addressed using the direct evidence of food production and consumption from archaeological sites. Although such evidence is scarce, it has in recent years been enlarged through new excavations, including those at the long-lasting site of Bubanj in southern Serbia. This paper combines the archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological datasets from Bubanj and examines the integrated evidence from a broader chronological and geographical perspective using the information from other Eneolithic and, also, Late Neolithic sites in Serbia. A picture of agricultural diversity emerges, perhaps reflecting diachronic changes in the production methods and choices. These may have been driven by the social and ecological factors that led to the cultural transformations during and after the transitional period.

Arheobotanički podaci pokazuju da se spektar gajenih vrsta na nalazištima kasnog neolita i eneolita u Srbiji uveliko preklapa, te da osnovne kulture poznate iz neolita - jednozrna i dvozrna pšenica - ostaju osnov poljoprivredne proizvodnje i tokom eneolita. I ovde se, međutim, kao i kod domaćih životinja, uočavaju moguće razlike između lokaliteta. Recimo, u kasnoeneolitskom sloju Gomolave zabeležena je veća količina ječma, što je za sada jedini slučaj kako za neolit tako i za eneolit, jer se ječam na drugim analiziranim lokalitetima iz ovih perioda javlja samo u tragovima. Podaci sa Bubnja ukazuju na mogući rast u važnosti mahunarki, tačnije sočiva, od ranog ka kasnom eneolitu, te manje značajnu ulogu dvozrne pšenice kroz vreme, ali je broj ostataka izuzetno Mali za čvrste zaključke. Dok relativno nepromenjen izbor gajenih vrsta kroz kasni neolit i eneolit ističe kontinuitet, donekle su vidljive potencijalne razlike između lokaliteta u stepenu proizvodnje pojedinih poljoprivrednih kultura. Moguće je da dolazi do promene u metodama i intenzitetu zemljoradnje, a vrlo verovatno u vezi sa promenama u stočarstvu, recimo u pogledu potrebe za proizvodnjom stočne hrane ili varijacijama u veličini površina pod usevima ili onim namenjenim za ispašu. Uvid u ove i slične aspekte proizvodnje hrane u eneolitu zahteva znatno veću količinu podataka od one koja je sada na raspolaganju., In the central Balkans, the period from the second half of the 5th through the mid-3rd millennium BC is known as the Eneolithic. The earlier part of this period has been described as the transition between the Late Neolithic and Early Eneolithic and the time of transformations-societal, economic and ideological. Prevailing understanding of the archaeological record from this period is that the remarkable shifts in the settlement system reflect disintegration of the Neolithic society. What effect did this have on food economy? This question has not yet been addressed using the direct evidence of food production and consumption from archaeological sites. Although such evidence is scarce, it has in recent years been enlarged through new excavations, including those at the long-lasting site of Bubanj in southern Serbia. This paper combines the archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological datasets from Bubanj and examines the integrated evidence from a broader chronological and geographical perspective using the information from other Eneolithic and, also, Late Neolithic sites in Serbia. A picture of agricultural diversity emerges, perhaps reflecting diachronic changes in the production methods and choices. These may have been driven by the social and ecological factors that led to the cultural transformations during and after the transitional period.",

AB  - Herding and hunting, along with farming, represented the economic basis of subsistence of communities in the
past. The strategies of animal husbandry and hunting were diverse and different between communities, whilst they
also changed over time. The differences and variations were sometimes caused by local or regional environmental
conditions, but were also the result of social, cultural, political, and even religious factors. One of the goals of
archaeological research is the discovery and reconstruction of the impact of these factors on the strategies of
animal husbandry and hunting in the past.
Animal remains represent the most frequent and most numerous traces of animal-based economic activities.
Therefore, zooarchaeological research is central to understanding and reconstructing patterns of past animal
exploitation. Geographic position of the Balkan Peninsula is such that it has always represented an important
region for transferring and exchanging knowledge, ideas, people, material cultures and other civilization traits
between southwest Asia and central Europe. The archaeological heritage of this region thus provides an excellent
opportunity for studying the development of economic strategies practiced by a number of communities that
inhabited the Peninsula through prehistory and history. During the Early Neolithic, the groups of people that arrived
from southwest Asia brought first domesticated animals and plants to the Balkans, and it is from here that animal
husbandry spread to other parts of Europe. Following the introduction of domesticates, a long period ensued during
which animal herding techniques underwent adaptations, diversification, specialisation, and transformations –
from the Late Neolithic through the Bronze and Iron Ages, up to the Roman and Medieval periods. Changes in
animal husbandry practices were accompanied by shifts in the significance and role that wild animals played in the
past communities, as well as the development of hunting strategies.
This publication brings new results of research on animal herding and hunting in the central and western Balkans
during prehistoric and historic periods. The investigations presented here cover a wide range of topics related to
animal exploitation strategies; they range from broad syntheses to specific case studies and, moreover, include
interdisciplinary studies that use zooarchaeological and historical data, iconographic representations and modern
laboratory analysis. Twenty-two authors contributed to this publication by presenting their research within 13
papers. We think that it is significant and encouraging that the majority of contributors are early-career scholars,
who started their professional journeys with the study of faunal remains from sites in the central and western
Balkans. We believe that this trend promises further development of zooarchaeology as an academic discipline in
the region.
The first steps towards the preparation of this volume were taken when a dedicated session was organised at the
42nd Annual Meeting of the Serbian Archeological Society, under the auspices of the Bioarchaeological Section of
the Society, in the town of Negotin in Serbia, between 30 May and 1 June 2019. We would like to take this opportunity
to thank our dear colleague Dr Nataša Miladinović-Radmilović, the head of the Bioarchaeological Section, for her

AB  - Na istočnim padinama brda Slog u Ravni, oko 400 m zapadno od rimskog utvrđenja Timacum Minus, u periodu između 1994. i 1996. i između 2013. i 2015. godine, na višeslojnoj nekropoli sprovedena su arheološka istraživanja. Dva glavna horizonta korišćenja nekropole hronološki su opredeljena u kasnorimski i ranosrednjovekovni period. Kasnorimska nekropola sa tri faze datovana je u period od sredine 4. do sredine 5. veka, dok je za ranosrednjovekovnu nekropolu, na osnovu novih arheoloških iskopavanja, utvrđeno da je imala dve faze: raniju - datovanu u period 8-9. veka, i kasniju - od kraja 9. do početka 11. veka. Tokom iskopavanja 2014. godine, u starijem ranosrednjovekovnom horizontu nekropole otkriven je jedan zanimljiv grob (G 159), koji predstavlja jedinstven nalaz na čitavoj nekropoli. Žena u ovom grobu (G 159) bila je sahranjena u jednostavnoj ovalnoj raki, na leđima i s rukama ispruženim pored tela. Grob je bio orijentisan u pravcu zapad-istok, sa devijacijom manjom od 5º ka jugu. Ceo skelet žene bio je slabo očuvan - neke kosti su bile dislocirane, a neke su nedostajale. Posebno zanimljiv nalaz jeste skelet životinje koji je pronađen zapadno od ženine glave, u savijenom položaju, tako što je glava životinje bila naslonjena na levu stranu glave žene. Žena je bila sahranjena sa brojnim grobnim prilozima, na osnovu kojih je TA sahrana opredeljena u period 8-9. veka. Antropološka analiza je pokazala da je žena u trenutku smrti imala između 40 i 45 godina. Uočene patološke promene na njenim kostima svedoče da je patila od osteoartritisa. Te osteoartričine lezije, zajedno sa naglašenim pripojima mišića, upućuju na to da se tokom života bavila teškim fizičkim aktivnostima. Ante-mortem gubitak svih zuba iz njene donje vilice predstavlja veoma zanimljivu i još uvek nerazjašnjenu pojavu. S jedne strane, moguće je da je to stanje posledica nekog dentalnog oboljenja, dok je, s druge, možda i rezultat mutilacije - namernog sakaćenja pokojnice. Međutim, ovo tumačenje treba uzeti sa dozom rezerve budući da adekvatne analogije takve prakse još nisu pronađene. Arheozoološka analiza je pokazala da skelet životinje sahranjene u grobu sa ženom pripada odrasloj lisici, staroj između dve i četiri godine. Budući da se izračunata visina grebena ove jedinke od 41,3 cm nalazi u gornjem opsegu visina grebena lisica, može se pretpostaviti da skelet pripada mužjaku lisice, a nepostojanje tragova glodanja i raspadanja na skeletnim ostacima ukazuje na to da je životinja pohranjena brzo posle smrti. Ako se ima u vidu položaj lisice i njeno mesto u grobu u odnosu na sahranjenu ženu, može se zaključiti da se radi o istovremenom događaju, to jest sahrani. Na osnovu svih podataka kao i detaljne arheološke, antropološke i arheozoološke analize groba 159 (G 159) na nekropoli Slog u Ravni, može se zaključiti sledeće: da je ova sredovečna žena bila istaknutog društvenog statusa u ranosrednjovekovnom naselju u Ravni, da je imala antemortem gubitak svih zuba iz donje vilice (mutilacija ?), da je bila sahranjena sa odraslim mužjakom lisice, s kojim je verovatno imala neku posebnu vrstu veze, i da se ova pogrebna praksa možda može povezati sa šamanizmom. Jedina analogija za takvu pogrebnu praksu kod nas do sada je zabeležena na avarskoj nekropoli Pionirska ulica - Bečej (grob 16) u Vojvodini i datuje se u ranoavarski period. Sahrana u grobu 159 sa nekropole Slog mlađa je jedno stoleće i ukazuje na moguće uticaje stepsko-nomadskih zajednica, pre svega Bugara.
AB  - On the Eastern slope of Slog Hill in Ravna, some 400 m to the West of the Roman fortification of Timacum Minus, a multilayered necropolis was investigated from 1994 to 1996 and from 2013 to 2015. There are two main horizons of the necropolis - Late Roman and Early Medieval. The late Roman necropolis has three phases dated from the middle of the 4th to the middle of the 5th century. The early medieval necropolis, according to the new excavations, has two phases, the earlier dated to the 8th - 9th centuries and the later from the end of the 9th to the beginning of the 11th century. An interesting grave (G 159), belonging to the earlier medieval phase of necropolis, was discovered in 2014. It is a unique burial of a woman and a fox, which has its only analogy in a disturbed woman and fox grave (grave 16) at the early Avar necropolis in Bečej. The burial with a fox could be interpreted in two ways - that the animal has a cult - ritual - magic meaning or that the fox was a pet of the deceased.

AB  - Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that all dogs share a common ancestry distinct from present-day wolves, with limited gene flow from wolves since domestication but substantial dog-to-wolf gene flow. By 11,000 years ago, at least five major ancestry lineages had diversified, demonstrating a deep genetic history of dogs during the Paleolithic. Coanalysis with human genomes reveals aspects of dog population history that mirror humans, including Levant-related ancestry in Africa and early agricultural Europe. Other aspects differ, including the impacts of steppe pastoralist expansions in West and East Eurasia and a near-complete turnover of Neolithic European dog ancestry.

abstract = "Dogs were the first domestic animal, but little is known about their population history and to what extent it was linked to humans. We sequenced 27 ancient dog genomes and found that all dogs share a common ancestry distinct from present-day wolves, with limited gene flow from wolves since domestication but substantial dog-to-wolf gene flow. By 11,000 years ago, at least five major ancestry lineages had diversified, demonstrating a deep genetic history of dogs during the Paleolithic. Coanalysis with human genomes reveals aspects of dog population history that mirror humans, including Levant-related ancestry in Africa and early agricultural Europe. Other aspects differ, including the impacts of steppe pastoralist expansions in West and East Eurasia and a near-complete turnover of Neolithic European dog ancestry.",

AB  - Genome-wide analysis of 67 ancient Near Eastern cattle, Bos taurus, remains reveals regional variation that has since been obscured by admixture in modern populations. Comparisons of genomes of early domestic cattle to their aurochs progenitors identify diverse origins with separate introgressions of wild stock. A later region-wide Bronze Age shift indicates rapid and widespread introgression of zebu, Bos indicus, from the Indus Valley. This process was likely stimulated at the onset of the current geological age, similar to 4.2 thousand years ago, by a widespread multicentury drought. In contrast to genome-wide admixture, mitochondrial DNA stasis supports that this introgression was male-driven, suggesting that selection of arid-adapted zebu bulls enhanced herd survival. This human-mediated migration of zebu-derived genetics has continued through millennia, altering tropical herding on each continent.

AB  - This article discusses recent findings from the newly identified archaeological site of Svinjaricka Cuka, situated next to the Southern Morava River in southern Serbia. We will present the latest results from the excavation, material studies, bioarchaeological analyses and contextualised radiocarbon data, focusing on the Stare'evo Neolithic horizon within the context of the new NEOTECH project. The interdisciplinary approach aims to shed light on the Neolithisation process of the region along one of the main communication routes between the Aegean and the Danube by the Axios-Vardar-Morava river system. The work so far has uncovered remains of Early to Middle Neolithic features dating around 5600 calBC, with analyses of faunal remains, ceramics and lithics contributing new insights into animal exploitation, raw materials and technological practices during this important time of socio-economic transition.

AB  - Pathological modifications are rarely observed in the remains of wild animals from archaeological sites. We present one such specific, pathological change a case of spavin in a red deer specimen from the Early Neolithic site of Blagotin, in central Serbia. The left tarsal joint presented proliferative new bone formation, which was analyzed macroscopically, then subjected to X-ray and computed tomography (CT) imaging. We assume that the initial degenerative changes in this red deer tarsal joint were probably caused by ageing, although the environment may have likely contributed to the progression of the disorder. Spavin usually results in stiffness of the joints and in lameness, perhaps contributing in the animal's capture by Neolithic hunters. This case is important in that it demonstrates that spavin is not necessarily a consequence of riding or traction work.

AB  - During a rescue archeological excavation in 2012 at the site of Ranutovac-Meaniste near Vranje, southern Serbia, remains of an Early Iron Age (Hallstatt B-C) settlement were revealed. In one of the settlement pits a complete horse skeleton was discovered. The skeleton belongs to a mare, aged 4-5 years at death. In this paper, paleopathological changes in the horse skeleton are described and analyzed using macroscopic, radiographic and scanning electron microscopy techniques to interpret the possible use of the animal. Potential bitting damage is observed in the lower second premolars (P-2) and mandibular diastema. Several pathologies are recorded in thoracic (T10-17) and lumbar vertebrae (L-1). Paleopathological changes in forelimbs are restricted to the lower leg bones. Bone changes in the hind-limbs, beside the metatarsals and the first phalanges, are also observed in the right femur, right calcaneum and both tibiae. These paleopathological changes were caused by chronic inflammation of ligaments as a consequence of the intensive exploitation of the animal, most likely riding. This paper is one of the first publications of animal paleopathology in Serbia and the first identified example of coxofemoral osteochondrosis in horse in the paleopathological literature.

AB  - During medieval times the majority of the population in the territory of present-day Serbia dealt with agriculture, as evidenced by a number of farming tools found at archaeological sites. In this paper, ethnological, iconographic, textual, archaeological and arhaeozoological evidence for the method of medieval tillage and the typological evolution of the plough are presented. Specific pathological changes in the distal parts of the limbs potentially caused by the intensive use of animals in draught work are also discussed. Two different types of ploughing devices - usually pulled by a pair of oxen were used - ralo (ard) and plug (mouldboard plough), in Serbia during the Middle Ages. Work-related pathologies were observed in faunal assemblages from two medieval sites dated to the second half of the 14th century.

AB  - Životinjske kosti pronađene u srednjovekovnom utvrđenju Gradina-Trešnjevica kod Ivanjice, podignutom u drugoj polovini XIV veka, predstavljaju ostatke hrane, na šta ukazuje veliki broj tragova kasapljenja, kao i starost ubijenih životinja. Stanovnici ovog utvrđenja su u ishrani najviše koristili meso ovaca i koza, a zatim goveda i svinja. Kosti jelena, zeca, srne i divlje svinje svedoče da se i meso divljači ponekad nalazilo na trpezi.
AB  - In this paper the results of archaeozoological analysis of animal remains collected during excavations of the medieval fortress Gradina-Trešnjevica (second half of the 14th century) near Ivanjica are presented. The aim of this study was the reconstruction of diet, strategy of using different animal species by the fort inhabitants, and comparing differences in animal husbandry in relation to other medieval sites in the territory of Serbia. Nine species were identified (table 1). Domestic animals include: sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus), cattle (Bos taurus), pig (Sus domesticus) and chicken (Gallus domesticus), and the wild: deer (Cervus elaphus), wild boar (Sus scrofa), roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and hare (Lepus europeus). Domestic animals outnumber wild (97% NISP). Caprines (sheep and goats) are the most frequent taxa at Gradina-Trešnjevica (51%), followed in abundance by domestic cattle (27%) and domestic pigs (16%). Caprines also played a major role in the economy of fortress Ras (Blažić 1999a: 440), while in rural settlements cattle are economically most important species (Blažić 1995: 343-344). The age structure of sheep/goats, domestic cattle and domestic pig based on the state of fusion of the epiphyses of postcranial skeleton is shown in Figure 1. Slaughter of cattle was focused on individuals between 24 and 42 months of age. The age profile of pig indicates that besides individuals mostly slaughtered were those between 12 and 36 months of age, pigs younger than 12 months were also exploited. On the other hand, majority of caprines are older than 36 months indicating that besides meat exploitation, they were also herded for milk and wool (sheep) production. Arhaeozoological study of the sample from the fortress Gradina-Trešnjevica provided important information concerning distribution of various animal species and ways of their exploitation. However, in order to gain insight into animal husbandry strategies and possible links with contemporary indigenous breeds of domestic animals, it is necessary to include larger number of medieval sites in archaeozoological researches.

AB  - In analyses of material recovered from archaeological sites, a dichotomy often exists between 'specialist' and 'archaeological' studies. This is especially noticeable in the case of faunal remains and bone artefacts. Bone artefacts are sometimes treated separately from fauna with emphasis on typological data, or they can be left within the fauna with only a remark on 'other taphonomic traces', thereby overlooking technological features of these artefacts. However, bone industry provides excellent insight into technological choices regarding raw material exploitation, since the availability and mechanical properties of specific materials can be directly observed. In this paper we tried to link bone artefacts with other faunal remains on the basis of a case study of the Vinča culture site at Vitkovo with a special emphasis on the relations between butchering techniques and raw material selection and the relations between the economically most important species and the bones most commonly used in tool manufacture.
