The end of Neolithic is in western Serbia marked with a specific type of sites not known in other parts of the central Balkan area. These are small tell-like mounds, usually up to 50 m in diameter, called Obrovactype ...
Between-group Differences in the Patterning of Musculo-skeletal Stress Markers: Avoiding Confounding Factors by Focusing on Qualitative Aspects of Physical Activity
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2013)
This paper presents a method for studying between-group differences in physical activity patterns through the analysis of musculo-skeletal stress markers (MSM). The specific aim was to develop a method that could overcome ...
New data on the earliest European ruminant (Mammalia, Artiodactyla): A revision of the fossil mandible from Rusce in the Pčinja basin (late Eocene, Southeastern Serbia)
(Coquina Press, 2018)
A fragmented right branch of a ruminant mandible from Rusce (Pčinja basin, Serbia) was originally published in the first half the twentieth century as Micromeryx flourensianus, a small ruminant common in the middle Miocene ...
Pottery versus sediment: Optically stimulated luminescence dating of the Neolithic Vinca culture, Serbia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was applied to the Neolithic Vinca culture's type-site, Vinca Belo-Brdo, to establish best protocols for routine luminescence dating of similar Holocene sites, critical in ...

House Floor Area as a Correlate of Marital Residence Pattern: A Logistic Regression Approach
(Sage Publications Inc, Thousand Oaks, 2010)
The goal of this article is to reflect on the relationship between average house floor area and marital residence pattern. This article brings three novel elements to this research problem: (a) it combines cases from the ...
Living off the land: Terrestrial-based diet and dairying in the farming communities of the Neolithic Balkans
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2020)
The application of biomolecular techniques to archaeological materials from the Balkans is providing valuable new information on the prehistory of the region. This is especially relevant for the study of the neolithisation ...
Crop choice, gathered plants and household activities at the beginnings of farming in the Pelagonia Valley of North Macedonia
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
A combined archaeobotanical and micro-refuse analysis is being implemented at two Early Neolithic tells currently under excavation in the Pelagonia Valley: Vrbjanska Čuka and Veluška Tumba. The first results suggest ...
Bone spoons for prehistoric babies: Detection of human teeth marks on the Neolithic artefacts from the site Grad-Starcevo (Serbia)

Around 8000 years ago, throughout the Neolithic world a new type of artefact appeared, small spoons masterly made from cattle bone, usually interpreted as tools, due to their intensive traces of use. Contrary to those ...
Effects of Residential Mobility on the Ratio of Average House Floor Area to Average Household Size: Implications for Demographic Reconstructions in Archaeology
(Sage Publications Inc, Thousand Oaks, 2012)
The aim of this article is to test the hypothesis that mobile or predominantly mobile societies have a lower ratio of average house floor area to average household size. The analysis is performed on a cross-cultural sample ...
