Recognising sheep and goat molar morphotypes as a method for specific and populational distinction
Populational differences, as a common expression of animal variability, are likely to have a significant impact on distinguishing between sheep and goat skeletal remains from archaeological sites, yet they have been rarely taken into account. In this study, we started from the assumption that the contradiction in the description of the criteria to set apart sheep and goat lower molars based on the morphology of the mesial fold, given by Payne (19…
A Contribution to Understanding Holocene Biodiversity
The Central Balkans, a long‐standing biodiversity hotspot, has been a key wildlife habitat for millennia. This study analyzes archeozoological data on wild mammals from Holocene sites in the region and the adjacent southern Great Pannonian Plain to explore the patterns of wildlife dynamics (species richness, ratios, and biogeographical changes) over time. The results indicate that subsistence shifts and human activities shaped faunal diversity an…
The first biomolecular evidence of leopards (Panthera pardus, Linnaeus, 1758) from the Roman era reveals the participation of African big cats in provincial amphitheatres
A spectacle of the Roman amphitheatre at Viminacium
Roman amphitheatres were centres of public entertainment, hosting various spectacles that often included wild animals. Excavation of a building near the Viminacium amphitheatre in Serbia in 2016 uncovered the fragmentary cranium of a bear. Multistranded analysis, presented here, reveals that the six-year-old male brown bear (Ursus arctos) suffered an impact fracture to the frontal bone, the healing of which was impaired by a secondary infection. …

Was the Dog Locally Domesticated in the Danube Gorges? Morphometric Study of Dog Cranial Remains From Four Mesolithic-Early Neolithic Archaeological Sites by Comparison With Contemporary Wolves
In this article, we test a hypothesis about local dog domestication in the Danube Gorges of the central Balkans in the course of the Mesolithic period. Morphometric features of dog mandibles and teeth from Mesolithic-Early Neolithic sites of Vlasac, Padina, Lepenski Vir, and Hajdučka Vodenica have been analysed and compared with recent wolves from the central Balkans. Decrease in size and changes in proportions of dog's dental features were track…
A camel skeleton from the Viminacium amphitheatre
Camel remains have occasionally been found in Roman provincial sites throughout the Empire. In Serbia, several camel bones were found on Roman period sites. In the course of the excavations of the Viminacium amphitheatre, a partial camel skeleton was found in the western part of the arena. This find dates back to the middle, or the second half, of the 4th century AD, the period after the amphitheatre lost its function. As no other camel skeleton …
