Womens role within the regional networks of interactions – Case study Vajuga – Pesak
Abstract
The Early Iron Age necropolises in the territory of Serbia are few and significantly
underresearched. Therefore, the discovery of the Vajuga — Pesak necropolis represented
an important step towards the understanding of the mutual relations
between the prehistoric communities of the Danube region and the Central Balkans
during the Iron Age 1. By analysing certain details regarding the burial ritual
and the material culture, especially fibulae as one of the most prominent elements
of the female costume, we’ll try to indicate the possible directions of cultural influences
in the aforementioned territory during the Iron Age 1. We will primarily
consider female individuals, as the bearers of those influences within populations,
the bearers that were always associated with certain ethnic markers.
