Detrital Glass Provides Evidence of Leaded-Bronze Refinement at Ancient Placer Tin Mining Sites in Serbia
Archaeological evidence for prehistoric placer tin mining is rare due to the ephemeral nature of the workings and the associated tools in the dynamic setting of active river systems. Here, we report an additional line of evidence for metallurgical activities at stream tin mining in Serbia at Mt. Cer and Bukulja. Rivers at these locations contain Pb-rich-glass grains, many of which are also enriched in Cu and Sn. Compositionally, the detrital grai…
The Early Bronze Age grave from the site of Svinjaricka cuka, South-Eastern Serbia
During the excavations of the multi-layered prehistoric site of Svinjaricka Cuka in south-eastern Serbia, a single burial was recorded. According to the grave goods, the burial custom, and an absolute date, the burial can be positioned into the second half of the 3rd millennium BC. The remains of the deceased female individual were recorded within a stone cist, accompanied by pieces of gold jewellery and red ochre. Altogether, the burial custom a…
Fresh light on Balkan prehistory
Searching for the Neolithic along the Vardar-Morava River corridor revealed several new sites in a previously underexplored region. Multidisciplinary investigations at Svinjarička Čuka identified Neolithic and Bronze Age occupation. Highlights presented here demonstrate the potential of this new key site for enriching our understanding of the prehistory of the Balkans
The problem of the Early Bronze Age in the territory of north-eastern Serbia a contribution to the study of the Early Bronze Age in the Central Balkans
Despite a relatively high degree of archaeological research and related publications, the territory of north-eastern Serbia represents a ?vacuum? of sites during the Early Bronze Age. When observed within the Late Eneolithic-Early Bronze Age-Middle Bronze Age sequence, a significant gap in the quantity of sites can be highlighted for the Early Bronze Age (c. 2800-2000 BCE). New data and absolute dates from the territory of north-eastern Serbia in…
Sword with fully cast hilt from the bed of the west Morava river
In 2022, during the construction works on the route of the ?-761 Corridor, a bronze sword with a fully cast hilt was recorded in gravel pit no. 8, on the right bank of the West Morava river. Additional surveys of the location determined that the wider area represents the former riverbed from which the sword most likely originates. The find represents an exceptional example of a sword with three parallel transverse midribs, whose ornamental motifs…
Stari Vinogradi - Bronze Age necropolis in Ostojicevo (Kikinda)
The Bronze Age Maros culture necropolis in Ostojicevo in the northern Vojvodina region was excavated during the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, yet remains incompletely published. Its importance for Serbian archaeology is the fact that it represents one of the two necropolises from the transition between the Early and the Middle Bronze Age in the territory of Serbia and one of a total of six necropolises of the Maros culture. In terms of ma…
Humka XI (K) sa lokaliteta Paulje
This paper presents three new absolute dates for the central grave of mound XI (K) at the Paulje necropolis in the lower Drina valley. Also, we present the results of FTIR spectroscopy for the amber finds from the 4 mounds in the necropolis, including mound XI (K). In general the results confirm the earlier assumed chronology of the site - the 14C AMS dates fit the timeframe – the central grave fits ideally the previous timeframe for the Brezjak …
Set of bronze jewellery from the site of Velika Humska Cuka near Nis, SE Serbia
The paper presents an extraordinary new find from the site of Velika Humska Cuka near Nis, in south-eastern Serbia. During the 2022 excavation campaign, a set of bronze jewellery was discovered, comprised of a pin, a band, ten saltaleoni, and ten circular pendants. Of particular importance are the finds of circular pendants, which are known throughout the Bronze Age in the territory of Europe. Such pendants are traditionally connected with Centra…
Mound 28 from the Paulje necropolis in Brezjak. A contribution to the absolute chronology of the Late Bronze Age in Serbia
The paper brings the results of archaeological excavations of Mound 28 at the Paulje necropolis, conducted in the autumn of 2019, along with the excavations of two adjacent mounds. All of the aforementioned mounds were partially damaged and eroded through decades of ploughing. Consequently, remains of a Late Bronze Age burial were recorded solely in Mound 28. According to the grave inventory comprised of bronze jewellery and analogies from concur…

The excavations at SvinjariÄ ka Ä uka in the South Morava Valley in Serbia are presented with new primary data from the field and related material and scientific analyses. Newly recovered architectural remains from the classical StarÄ evo period revealed a variety of domestic features, so far belonging to an earlier and later occupation phase at the river terrace dating between 5700/5600 and 5500 BC. Details of the stratigraphy and certain materi…
The history of the domestic cat in Central Europe
A recent study from Central Europe has changed our perception of the cat's domestication history. The authors discuss how this has led to the development of an interdisciplinary project combining palaeogenetics, zooarchaeology and radiocarbon dating, with the aim of providing insight into the domestic cat's expansion beyond the Mediterranean
Animal diseases in the Central Balkan Eneolithic (ca. 4500-2500 BC)-A diachronic perspective on the site of Bubanj, south-eastern Serbia
This paper aims to present the first evidence of animal diseases from the Central Balkan Eneolithic, a prehistoric period that lasted about 2000 years. The eponymous site of Bubanj in south-eastern Serbia provided a diachronic perspective on animal pathologies developing during this long time period. We analyzed 71 animal remains showing evidence of pathological changes. All of the remains exhibiting anomalies were subjected to macroscopic analys…
The Balkan-Aegean migrations revisited
Alleged ?Aegean migrations? have long been seen as underlying major transformations in lifeways and identity in the Balkans in the 12th-11th centuries BC. Revisiting the material culture and settlement changes in the north-south ?routeway? of the Velika Morava-Juzna Morava-Vardar/Axios river valleys, this paper evaluates developments within local communities. It is argued that mobility played an important role in social change, including an eleme…
Bubanj
Seit den ersten Ausgrabungen in den 1930er und 1950er Jahren gilt die Tell-Siedlung Bubanj bei NiÅ¡ (Serbien) als wichtige Fundstelle fÃ1⁄4r die Urgeschichte des Balkans. Die vorliegende Publikation stellt die Ergebnisse der jÃ1⁄4ngsten Ausgrabungen (2008â 2014) auf dem östlichen Plateau vor und präsentiert wichtige Daten zum Leben der prähistorischen Gemeinschaften auf dem Zentralbalkan und in der Region Morava während des Eneolithikums und der …
Some remarks on the genesis of the early Eneolithic in the Central Balkans
The study addresses an imprecisely defined period between the end of the Neolithic and the beginning of the Eneolithic in the Central Balkans. The study primarily refers to the characteristic ceramic forms common to both the Vinca culture and the Early Eneolithic groups, especially the Bubanj-Hum I group. The pottery under consideration originates exclusively from absolutely dated sites, single-layered sites, and sites that possess a well-defined…

Radiocarbon Dating the 3rd Millennium Bc in the Central Balkans
Long-standing archaeological narratives suggest that the 3rd millennium cal BC is a key period in Mediterranean and European prehistory, characterized by the development of extensive interaction networks. In the Balkans for instance, the identification of such interactions relies solely upon typological arguments associated with conflicting local terminologies. Through a combination of 25 new radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates and re-examination of the ex…

New AMS dates as a contribution to the absolute chronology of the early eneolithic in the central Balkans
In this study we present new absolute dates for the Early Eneolithic in Serbia. Four of them confirm the recently obtained dates from that period (Bubanj-Hum I culture) but two samples (from Mokranjske stene and Bubanj) provide somewhat later dates for this period, although their stratigraphic context makes their interpretation difficult. Pottery from those sites, besides the typical examples, also shows particular stylistic and typological chara…

Absolute Dating of Copper and Early Bronze Age Levels at the Eponymous Archaeological Site Bubanj (Southeastern Serbia)
This paper reports the first radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates obtained for the Eneolithic/Bronze Age site of Bubanj, Serbia. Despite featuring prominently in the existing typo-chronological schemes for southeastern Europe, the history of research and recent large-scale destruction of the site had prevented so far the acquisition of samples from secure archaeological contexts. We fill this documentary gap by presenting 10 new 14 C dates, covering the lat…
Necropolis under a tumulus at Veprcani
Six Late Roman graves and one prehistoric burial have been discovered under a tumulus in the course of investigations. The tumulus is around 11meters in diameter and around 1 meter high and is situated at Veprcani, in the mountainous area of Mariovo in south Macedonia. The graves mostly contained cists of broken stones or slabs covered with stone slabs, one grave was carved into the rock and one consisted of a dislocated grave association. One pr…

Placer Tin Ores from Mt. Cer, West Serbia, and Their Potential Exploitation during the Bronze Age
Tin is a rare metal that is essential for making bronze, the defining technology of the Bronze Age. The source(s) of tin for Aegean bronze is undetermined but several small Bronze Age tin mines have been documented in the circum‐Aegean region. The discovery of Bronze Age archaeological sites in West Serbia near a tin placer deposit on the flanks of Mt. Cer led to an investigation of this site as a potential additional Bronze Age tin mine in the r…

The phenomenon of prehistoric ritual pits
In recent years, the phenomenon of pits with special deposits, i.e. ritual pits, seems to have, once again, attracted attention both in Europe and in the Balkans. In the central Balkans, scientific literature related to this topic is still deficient, hence one of the objectives of this paper is to change the current state and rekindle interest in the study of this form of manifestation of the spiritual culture of prehistoric man. It appears that …
Coţofeni-Kostolac culture on the territory of north-eastern Serbia
The settlement of the territory of north-eastern Serbia by the representatives of the Co?ofeni culture began during the second half of the IV millennium, probably under the pressure of invading tribes from Euroasian steppe. This territory extended over Transylvania, Banat, Oltenia and Muntenia (Map 2). On the territory of Serbia they settled from the Djrerdap gorge up to the Mlava river to the west, and through Kucajske mountains, Bor, Zajecar an…
Particular ceramic forms in the central Balkan and northern shores of the Aegean sea in the late bronze age
This paper deals with the appearance and development of particular ceramic forms that were prevalent on the wider territory from the lower Danube to the northern shores of the Aegean sea during the middle and Late Bronze Age. These forms relate to globular beakers, pear shaped vessels with everted rims with arch shaped handles, cups with handles with plastic applications on their upper surface, etc. Particular attention is devoted to the phenomen…

Of particular importance ar…
The neolithic settlements in the Timok region and Djerdap gorge hinterland
For many years, the territory along the course of the Crni Timok river in northeast Serbia was not presented as an interesting area for early Neolithic excavation. However, recent inspection of older unpublished data, with newer reconnaissance, has shed new light on this period of prehistory. A larger number of sites have been discovered with similar topographical positions on the edges/rims of large areas or on ridges above river courses. Thanks…
South Morava Basin in the transitional period from the Bronze to the Iron Age
Results of the recent investigations of the sites from the Transitional period between the Bronze and Iron Age in the South Morava basin are presented in this paper. On the basis of these results as well as the earlier research in this area a chronology of this period in the South Morava basin has been established. The analysis of the material, particularly pottery shows that channelled pottery of Gava - Belegis II type (Iron Age Ib) was a prevai…
A stone mould from Klinovac
A two-piece stone mould that reached the National Museum at Vranje in 1966 had been recovered from a depth of about one meter at the site known as Tri Kruske (Three Pear-trees), the village of Klinovac. The site is situated on a river terrace on the right bank of the Krsevica River some 15 kilometers south of Vranje. The mould was carved out of metamorphic rock from the class of schist, more exactly, of greenschist (with chlorite and mica as its …
Rectangular grave vessels and stamped ceramics from the roman period in the Central Balkans
This paper discusses the rectangular grave vessels discovered, with cremated human remains, at several Roman period cemeteries in western Bulgaria northeast Macedonia and southeast Serbia. All the cemeteries show similar funerary rites, burial procedures and ceramics, suggesting a very conservative population whose culture was based on prehistoric traditions. In the second part of the paper, on the basis of the presented archaeological material a…
