Storage Practice and Problems with Pests in the Late Neolithic: Two Examples from the Central Balkans
Abstract
This 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).
