Wicked and Twisted? The Phenomenon of Atypical Burials in the Late Roman Period
Burials deviating from the customary norms, differing from the other interments in the same necropolis, in terms of the position and treatment of the deceased’s body, the presence or absence of grave goods, or their location inside the necropolis, have been identified in all historical periods. These types of burials are usually denoted by the terms: atypical, non-normative, deviant, or unusual funerals, each of these terms implying particular me…
Marginalisation in death: New-born burials at Remesiana eastern necropolis
Systematic archaeological research at the eastern necropolis lasted from 2018 to 2023, resulting in 63 discovered graves. According to the unearthed coinage, the necropolis was used mostly in the second half of the 4th century, putting it at the early stages of the institutionalisation of Christianity in the region. Unlike the rest of the necropolises near Remesiana, the eastern one is specific because of its unique burial types - graves with men…
Social and Economic Status of the Dead: Burials in the Period of Early Christianity
Traditionally, the necropolises of the 4th century have been considered in the framework of the spread of Christianity, conceived as a linear progression. The research into the necropolises of this period is predominantly based upon the premise that the earliest Christian burials are “poor”, so consequently the lack of grave offerings has often been identified as the indicator of Christianity. From this starting point, the research goals have alm…
Neither “Celtic” nor “Dacian”: The Site of Židovar at the Edges of La Tène, Carpathian and Roman Worlds
The paper reviews long-standing interpretation of the late Iron Age site of Židovar as “Celtic”, “Dacian” and “Celto-Dacian”. Arguing that this standpoint is derived from biased culture-historical ethno-determinism, the evidence is reconsidered from excavation journals of Branko Gavela and published research on Židovar. Evidential basis is discussed, such as sratigraphic difficulties and chronology, as well as some common misconceptions of the si…
Archaeological Excavations of Adam Oršić: Fieldwork as a Source of Power and Authority
The period between the two world wars is extremely important for the history of Serbian and Yugoslav archaeology, because this is the time when the discipline was rapidly institutionalized – new museums are established, new professionals are trained, and large fieldwork projects are initiated. At that moment, as well as immediately after – during the World War II, European archaeology is to the great extent oriented towards the German professiona…
Searching for Adam Oršić through 20th century archaeology
The professional career of Adam Oršić went through many ups and downs and odd detours. He began his professional life in Niš, as an assistant in the Museum to whose foundation he contributed, and during the World War II he focused upon his studies and the archaeological projects in Austria, with the aid of Oswald Menghin. The unstable political circumstances in the Balkans at the time, and the personal and professional decisions Oršić made, led t…
Negotiating Identities at the Edge of the Roman Empire
The Concept of Romanization and its Role in the Constitution of the Classical Archaeologies of the Western Balkans
The traditional concept of Romanization has heavily influenced the methodology of research of the Roman monuments in Europe. The basic principles of the concept have been laid out by Theodor Mommsen, the German historian and an expert in epigraphy, who was the first to define the relationships between the Roman „civilization“ and the local populations in his book The History of Rome. Mommsen presents a process in which two different political, ec…
Constructing Identities in the Roman Dalmatia: Gladiators of Salona and their Social Status
Inscriptions on stone urns of the gladiators buried in the immediate vicinity of the amphitheatre in Salona offer insight into their social status. Information gained from these inscriptions testifies about the ambivalent attitude of the Roman society towards marginal groups, in this case gladiators. On one hand, these are slaves deprived of the Roman civil rights, with limited field of social action, while on the other hand the mode of burial (s…
Late Vinca culture settlement at Crkvine in Stubline: Household organization and urbanization in the Late Vinca culture period
The site Crkvine is situated in the vicinity of the village Stubline in the borough of Obrenovac around 40 km to the southwest of Belgrade (Serbia). In the first section of this work we present the comprehensive report about the investigations carried out so far. The geomagnetic prospection undertaken from 2006 to 2008 covered an area of 32,400 square meters and the obtained results indicate the existence of around 100 houses built in rows around…
