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 monograph connects to the research results Petar Milojević presented in
his graduation paper titled “The Survey of potential Paleolithic sites in the region of the
Sokobanja basin and closer vicinity” the research for which was conducted within the
project “Research of the transition from the middle to the upper Paleolithic in eastern
Serbia” conducted by the Faculty of Philosophy from Belgrade in cooperation with the
University of Arizona from Tucson (USA), under the auspices of Dušan Mihailović and
Steven Kuhn. The research was conducted based on data collected by a team of three
authors during only two research campaign each of which lasted two weeks conducted
during 2012 and 2013. Such a speed of work would not have been possible without the
generous assistance of the population from the Sokobanja basin, who have shown great
interest for our research at every site we have visited in their area. They have not just
pointed their fingers at topographic maps we carried with us or just pointed in the
direction we should go; they assisted us as guides often neglecting their personal affairs.
Thus they have spared us from wandering around during the localization of
speleological objects, which were quite often covered by vegetation and difficult to
notice even from close distance. They have also spared us the risk of getting lost and
walking in circles in landscapes such as are the numerous sinkholes on Mount Devica.
We owe special thanks to: Saša Stevanović, who guided us to most of the caves; Igor
Lazić, Aca Marinković, Zoran Stojadinović, Stevan Bašić, Miodrag Milutinović, Dragi
Stanojević, Dragan Milanović, Đorđe Jančić, Danijela Stanojević, Dejan Stanojević,
Marijana Marinković, Jelena Milojević, Prilagija Milojević and Ana Dinić for their
personal contribution to our research. Our gratitude also goes to the professors of the
Faculty of Philosophy from Belgrade, Dušan Mihailović and Vesna Dimitrijević
because without their expert support this research could not have been adequately
conducted.

AB  - This paper describes several Palaeolithic open air sites found while surveying the northeastern slopes of Goč Mountain in Central Serbia. These sites were found in close proximity to primary deposits of flint, opal and chalcedony on the slopes of Rudno Brdo and Grot. These hills are located in an area of volcanic-sediments in the village of Dublje and on the second Pleistocene terrace (t2) of the Zapadna Morava River in the village of Ruđinci near Vrnjačka Banja.
Survey was conducted using transects with 5m spacing while artifact concentrations were recorded using a hand-held GPS unit. In order to reduce the possibility of collecting geofacts (Wisniewski et al. 2014), only materials clearly identifiable as artifacts were collected.
Artifacts from open air sites near the raw material deposits (Slatinski Potok, Crnobarac, Nišan) as well as from the village of Dublje (Gvozdenac), largely consisted of Lower Palaeolithic materials (unipolar, alternate and centripetal cores, scrapers and denticulate tools on irregular flakes), although some possible Middle Palaeolithic pieces were present. Slatinski Potok and Nišan had massive bifacially flaked artifacts, while artifacts from Slatinski Potok included one typical cleaver. On the other hand, Middle Palaeolithic artifacts are clearly present in Ruđinci.  
While some of the material from the survey resembles Acheulean lithic technology, such hypotheses must be confirmed by finding these artifacts in open air sites with preserved stratigraphy.
