AB  - It is a rare occasion that one researcher’s career in archaeology including published results, extensive fieldwork and professional contacts, can inspire a volume with such vast, diachronic and diverse topics as is the case here. Namely, the bibliography of Petar Popović (see Bibliography of Petar Popović in this volume) contains numerous papers, chapters, and books focused on numismatics; (e.g., Popović 1983; Поповић 1987; Borić-Brešković, Popović 2006), ancient Celts and Scordisci, their cultures, migrations and contacts (e.g., Jovanović, Popović 1991; Popović 1992a; 1992b; 1992c; 1993; 1994; 1996a), the Balkan Bronze and Iron Ages (e.g., Vukmanović, Popović 1982; Popović, Vukmanović 1992; Popović 1996b), Kale–Krševica (e.g., Popović 2006; 2012), etc. These publications reveal his main scholarly interests in social, cultural, and economic aspects of the interrelations between the Paleo-Balkan communities and the Greek and Roman worlds. Beginning in the 1960s, Popović participated in numerous local and multinational excavation projects targeting some of the most prominent archaeological sites in Serbia and former Yugoslavia (e.g., Padina, Gomolava, Vinča, Bosut, Kadića Brdo, Faros, Issa). As a result, along with abundant friendships, fruitful discussions, and international contacts, he also became an indispensable participant in most regional archaeological interpretative endeavours focusing on problems beyond the Iron Age and numismatics. Having all this in mind, the three editors along with all of the authors, who are Petar’s friends and colleagues, have happily decided to publish this volume as a birthday present to him. Our scholarly goal is to provide space for some new answers to the archaeological questions Petar Popović is interested in. Since his interests remain vast and focused on still very current topics, connecting the two is not a difficult task.

AB  - Справљање и испијање алкохолних пића део су процеса припитомљавања биљака и стари су најмање колико и седентарни начин живота. Биљке су, између осталог, биле незаобилазан извор шећера и скроба, неопходан за алкохолно врење. Савремена археолошка истраживања открила су трагове различитих врста древних алкохолних напитака (најчешће налик пиву и медовини) још у првим неолитским заједницама Блиског истока (млађе камено доба, X–V миленијум пре н. е.), где је и настао седелачки живот. Неки аутори чак сматрају да је доместикација јечма и пшенице као првих житарица остварена управо ради производње пива, а не нужно да би биле коришћене као храна у виду каше или хлеба. Кад је реч о првом црном вину, старија литература је заступала тезу да је оно откривено касније – током халколита (бакарног или енеолитског доба, V–IV миленијум пре н. е.), такође негде на Блиском истоку, а да се о широј примени може говорити тек од бронзаног доба и тзв. првих цивилизација (3500–1200. г. пре н. е.). Током даљег развоја бронзанодопских заједница, количина произведеног вина је само расла, што је нарочито видљиво током II миленијума пре н. е. Тврдило се и то да је реч о луксузном напитку чије је поседовање имало важну улогу у раслојавању друштава кроз редистрибутивну економију те да је зато вино непосредно утицало на формирање првих блискоисточних и медитеранских држава (Сумера, Египта, минојске цивилизације, микенске цивилизације итд.). Међутим, најновија генетичка истраживања еволуције винове лозе показују да је ова биљка припитомљена знатно раније, пре око 11.000 година (око 9000 година пре н. е.), и то чак на два места – на јужном Кавказу и у подручју тзв. плодног полумесеца. Другим речима, винова лоза је, по свему судећи, припитомљена када и прве житарице, још током раног (прекерамичког) неолита. На основу истих истраживања, сазнали смо и то да савремене сорте воде порекло баш од неолитских стабљика доме-стикованих на простору плодног полумесеца. Често касније укрштање с дивљим јединкама, које су биле ау-тохтоне на широком подручју Медитерана и југозападне Азије, омогућило је релативно брзо ширење. Истовремено, нова археолошка ископавања, археоботаника и физичко-хемијске анализе садржаја многих посуда показали су да грожђе у неолиту није служило само за јело у сировом виду.

in style in ancient Greek black- and red-figure pottery – two distinct but related
production techniques, which roughly date from the Archaic to the Early Hellenistic
periods (c. 6th to early 3rd century BC) – and how this issue changed

special focus is placed on consumption studies and some recent object-oriented
approaches (e.g. I. Hodder’s concept of entanglement), and how these theoretical
perspectives could benefit from a plethora of information about the nature
of Greek ceramics and its production obtained by J. Beazley and other culturehistorical

AB  - Archaeological excavations at the site Kale-Krševica (south-eastern Serbia) have, so far,
revealed between 1,500 and 2,000 red-figure, black-glazed and Early Hellenistic period sherds, originating mostly from the Athenian potters’ quarter of Kerameikos. These fragments, even though they represent a minority of the overall ceramic finds, have been discovered in almost all household and public contexts. Therefore, it seems that they played an important role in the everyday lives of the local population inhabiting this fortified Iron Age settlement, active from the late 5th until the early 3rd century BC. Their consistent distribution within the site is also a strong indication that the vessels were not elite or ‘prestige goods’, as in the case of earlier Iron Age settings in the Balkans, and that they were accessible to wider echelons of society. Consequently, we believe that it is possible to better understand the social changes behind the so-called process of Hellenisation by following subtle variations in archaeological contexts showing how these imports were treated by the community at Kale-Krševica. As a theoretical base, we will use the so-called biographical approach, together with material culture studies.

AB  - This paper aims to show how the ‘violent nature’ of ‘paleo-Balkan tribes’ as indicated
in some Greek and Roman texts is perceived, interpreted, and consequently constructed
as supposedly independent historical evidence in different archaeological narratives on a case
study of Kale-Krševica – a specific late Iron Age ‘Hellenised’ settlement in south-eastern Serbia.
Hypotheses about this site’s ethnic identity, which range from local Paeonians, Thracians,
Dardanians, or possibly even Greeks, are fit into the historical framework of violent Iron Age
period encounters, which have some very prominent ramification on further archaeological
interpretations. I will argue that theoretical aspects which are implemented favour violent
scenarios in order to present an expected and supposedly coherent image of distinctive Iron
Age ethnicities in a constant struggle even though it may not be the only nor the most likely
context. At the same time, the implementation of the concept of ‘Hellenisation’ as a colonial
perspective about local groups who quite ‘naturally’ become ‘Greek’ or ‘Greek-like’ and
therefore more ‘civilised’, makes this site’s social life a good arena for pointing out the direct
or implicit use of various narratives about past/present violence.

AB  - Bone artefacts are among the less thoroughly studied classes of archaeological material, especially when it concerns particular periods and regions. The reasons which lead to this are not uniform. The most conspicuous and the most common reasons are linked to the research practices of culture-historical archaeology, often neglecting bone artefacts, considering them not sufficiently attractive or informative. The most significant shift towards recognition of a set of potential information that may be gained from bone objects was achieved within the framework of studies of prehistoric technology during the second half of 20th century, especially in the French archaeological school. This research strategy raised a number of questions concerning the acquisition of raw material, modes of production and usage of objects, whose interpretative potential gained in power, leading to the increased attention paid to faunal remains in archaeological investigations. Yet this source of information on the actual details of relations between people and material culture, opened by technology studies, has not been sufficiently explored. It may be suggested that the reasons are the narrow specialization of researchers and insufficient inclusion of the gathered information into the wider interpretive framework, various traditions and lack of cooperation among the national archaeological "schools", language barriers etc. However, the main reason behind this state of affairs may be sought for in non-integrated theoretical perspectives and the lack of clearly articulated interpretive position of researchers seeking to apply the knowledge gained from technology studies, considering this strategy as an "objective, scientific method", providing concrete answers clearly complying to the expectations of the dominant archaeological paradigm. The paper offers a critical review of a number of examples of application of technology studies in archaeology and possible directions for a more integrated and theoretically informed approach. One of the obvious solutions may be sought in the direction of another research strategy - material culture studies. The aim of the paper is thus to link these two approaches, whose theoretical foundations are not uniform today, but the history of the ideas and the mode of articulation of the basic theoretical assumptions indicate similar theoretical roots.

AB  - In the archaeological literature, the problem of urbanization and the emergence of cities have most often been solved in the framework of the formation of states and first 'civilizations'. Both in traditional and more recent works based on evolutionary theory, it has been presupposed that these are the settlements of the communities on the 'state level', with fully developed complex society. Evolutionary theory, as an Eurocentric approach, is frequently present in the archaeology of the Balkans, used as a tool in the classification of settlements and identification of cities, thus leading to the practice of evaluation of heritage as 'better' or 'more advanced'. The paper examines the problem of urbanization from two theoretical starting points, focusing on the case study of the so-called 'Hellenized settlements' of the Balkan Iron Age. The first line of inquiry is based upon the contemporary evolutionary theory, taking into account the post-modern critique of the approach. The conclusion is that the Iron Age communities do not comply with all the characteristic traits of complex societies, raising considerable doubt concerning the interpretation of the settlements as cities. The second part of the paper examines the issue of heritage and its active role in the modern world, aiming to explain the reasons for the widely accepted interpretation of the Iron Age settlements as urbanized. .

The settlements are documented in a vast continental area stretching from modern-day Albania, the FYR Macedonia and south central Serbia to Bulgaria. Archaeological interpretations mostly accept that economic factors and trade with late Classical and early Hellenistic Greece were instrumental in their emergence, and the phenomenon is interpreted as Greek 'influence' and local 'imitation' of Mediterranean culture. Presenting the most influential interpretations of the Classical and Hellenistic economy and some perspectives in economic anthropology, this paper examines the traditional (mostly formalistic) culture-historical understanding of the Balkan 'Hellenized settlements' of the mid-first millennium BC and Mediterranean interrelations. It also looks at the construction and role of status identity as a crucial social factor in shaping the Iron Age communities in the hinterland, and defines possible trade and exchange activities as only one aspect of the identity of a burgeoning elite.

AB  - In the Balkan archaeologies, ethnic identity has been traditionally treated as a stable and monolithic category, readily recognizable in the material culture. The issue of 'ethnogenesis' of the Palaeo-Balkan 'peoples' is the dominant topic and the basic research subject in culture-historical archaeology, today regarded as the consequence of the modern European nationalisms. Starting from the constructivist point, the paper seeks to examine the interpretations of ethnicity in the Balkan Iron Age, on the example of the so-called 'early Classical settlements' - a series of mutually very similar fortified settlements located in the vast lands of the Balkan hinterland, today in the territory of several modern states. These settlements are broadly dated into the period from the 5th to the 3rd centuries BC, and have traditionally been interpreted as the final phase of the ethnogenesis of the Palaeo-Balkan communities, supposed to have been living in 'tribal states', whose population has been recognized as 'people' or even 'nation'. In the traditional literature, the ethnic characteristics have been readily recognized, projecting directly the modern socio-political structures onto the communities of the past that could have been founded on completely different group identity or political organization. The paper deals with the issue of the political aspects of these interpretations in various Balkan countries, favoring certain Palaeo-Balkan communities, and an attempt is made to contextualize these nationalistic narratives into the present.

AB  - The systematic excavations of the forth century B.C. settlement Kale in village Krševica started in 2001 and are still ongoing. This oldest urban settlement in Serbia has produced over 100,000 fragments of domestic wheel made gray pottery. Close resemblance of this material with vessels discovered in Greece, Bulgaria and FRY of Macedonia is the most interesting subject. This article aims to present various methodological and theoretical perspectives of possible interpretation of this problem. The largest segment of literature considering this topic consists of culture-historical approach, which led traditional archaeologist in ethnic determination of this highly similar material culture as representation of Paeonian, Thracian, Greek or Dardanian ethnicity depending on the territory where the gray pottery has been detected. The processual and postprocessual explanations, which are not aiming at ethnic determination of archaeological questions, have not yet been offered. The same could also be said for the contemporary multidisciplinary studies like ethno archaeology and identity. Since the pottery material discovered in Krševica has only been preliminary published, these modern interpretations could be of certain help in interpretation of this problem.

AB  - Na ovom lokalitetu nedaleko od Bujanovca tokom istraživanja 2001-2006. godine otkriveni su značajni ostaci naselja s kraja klasičnog i početka helenističnog perioda. Pored mnogobrojnih nalaza, koji pripadaju IV i prvim decenijama III veka pre n.e, otkriveno je preko hiljadu celih i fragmentovanih tkačkih tegova, pršljenaka i kalemova od kojih je obrađeno 1038 bolje očuvanih i karakterističnih primeraka. Ovom broju treba priključiti i tridesetak komada iz Narodnog muzeja u Vranju koji su prikupljeni i objavljeni posle prvih iskopavanja u Krševici 1966. godine. Osnovne tipološke odlike ovog materijala odnose se na 314 tegova u obliku piramide (tip A - 35%; Cl. 1; T. I-III), tri tega u obliku kupe (T. IV. 35-37), 432 ovalna tega u obliku violine (tip B - 48%; Sl. 2; T. IV. 38-47 V) i 149 diskoidnih tegova (tip C - 17%; Sl. 3; T. VI; VII. 72-76). Pršljenci korišćeni za pređu zastupljeni su sa samo 22 primerka (Sl. 4; T. VII. 77-85) a 118 komada odnosi se na kalemove koji su imali široku primenu, ali se često objavljuju zajedno sa ovom vrstom nalaza (Sl. 5; T. VII. 86). Na izvesnom broju tegova nalaze se oznake ili žigovi urezani ili utisnuti u meku glinu koji su predstavljali "zaštitne znake ", dokaze o vlasništvu, ili su imali dekorativnu ulogu. Prilikom iskopavanja u Krševici tegovi su otkriveni u skoro svim sondama, ali osim manjih koncentracija za sada nisu otkrivene veće grupe koje bi mogle da se odnose na objekte sa radnim prostorom, ili radionicama. Prema stratigrafskim podacima najviše ovih nalaza potiče iz gornjih slojeva. Po svemu sudeći od kraja IV veka pre n.e., pored značajnih građevinskih poduhvata, prosperitet naselja ogledao se i u porastu stanovništva, pa shodno tome u većem intenzitetu tkačke delatnosti. O tome pored velikog broja tegova, dosta govore i paleozoološke analize. Pokazalo se da posle govečeta najzastupljeniju vrstu čine ovce, a vuna je u ovom slučaju predstavljala jednu od osnovnih sirovina. Ne ulazeći u problematiku ove specifične delatnosti, kao ilustraciju navodimo samo dva primera. To su piramidalni tegovi i vertikalni razboj iz kasnog bronzanog doba koji je rekonstruisan prema rezultatima arheoloških iskopavanja na jednom lokalitetu u severnoj Nemačkoj (Sl. 8). Drugi primer je atička vaza iz VI veka pre n.e. sa poznatom scenom gde žene, ili devojke rade na razboju, što živo odslikava intimnu atmosferu grčkog porodičnog domaćinstva (Sl. 9). Sličnosti su očigledne, a tegovi i ostali pribor, uključujući i razboj, bili su uobičajena pojava na svim većim naseljima gde su se obično devojke i žene bavile tkanjem. Materijal iz Krševice ima brojne analogije sa lokalitetima iz Bugarske i Makedonije, ali se sa sve većim brojem nalaza stiče utisak da pored piramidalnih tegova, koji se sreću na daleko širem mediteranskom prostoru, ovalni tegovi u obliku violine postaju karakteristika severnoegejskih, i posebno tračkih, makedonskih i peonskih oblasti. Tako su dolinama Vardara, Strume i dalje sve do Krševice stizali ljudi i roba, gde se potom izrađivao ne samo tkački pribor, već i daleko brojnija i značajnija lokalna "helenizirana" keramika. O značaju ovog za sada jedinstvenog naselja u dolini Južne Morave, koje je održavalo bliske kontakte sa Egejom, pored drugih nalaza svedoče i razvijene delatnosti poput grnčarstva i tkačkog zanata koji su u IV i početkom III veka pre n.e., u najmanju ruku zadovoljavale osnovne potrebe stanovništva.
