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  - 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  - It is probably best assumed that the passage of time has been an important part of human reality for as long as humanity has existed. The notion of time, although likely not understood and measured by early hominids as it is today, was a self-evident fact of the cycles of life that each of us undertakes, from the moment of birth to the day of death. It became even more important to understand and measure when humans first attempted to understand their environment, to put it under their control. Perhaps at first, it was enough to realise when it was a period of cold or hot weather, a time of bounty and scarcity but as the complexity of human livelihood began to emerge with the onset of the Neolithic, the concept of time must have started to matter even more. Time, an intangible concept that cannot be rewound, renewed or traded, is an intricate part of daily lives governing our actions and cycles. The realisation that we can measure and organise it in the order of the occurrence of events to establish its flow was as important to the humans of the past as much as the concept of growing your own food resources and living in organised societies settled in specific environments. Certain authors (Aveni 1989) argue that the perception of time is inborn to living beings, evidenced through behaviours regulated by circadian cycles, but the measurement of time is surely a cultural product. Mankind, most likely even before the time of the Homo Sapiens, must have been aware of the biological time, evidenced in the individual phases of life that each living being goes through from birth to death. But the motion beyond that realisation, one that would cause the development of the concept of physical time; the time that exists as
an external, measurable entity, must have demanded more than the inborn quality...

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.
