AB  - Сахрањивање деце у посудама је погребна пракса стара
колико и вештина израде керамике. На простору Леванта и
европском тлу присутна је од неолита до гвозденог доба, без
континуитета и јасних географских оквира, увек наводећи на
питање шта су идеје које стоје иза обичаја полагања дечијег тела
у керамички суд. На територији Србије ова пракса је забележена
први и једини пут током средњег бронзаног доба на некрополи
у Остојићеву, у Севернобанатском округу, где је сахрањено
укупно 142 субадулта, од тога 103 индивидуе старости до 7
година у керамичким посудама. Пракса је доследно спровођена
током читавог хронолошког распона у коме је некропола била у употреби (1650-1550 г. п. н. е.).
Поставља се питање зашто су нека деца сахрањена у посудама,
а нека нису. Да би се утврдило шта издваја децу сахрањену
у посудама у односу на ону ван посуда, овде представљамо
резултате следећих анализа: индивидуалне старости деце, код
76 очуваних скелета, гробних прилога, оријентације покојника
и просторне дистрибуције укопа. Такође, приказаћемо и
истраживачки оквир који ће у наредном периоду омогућити
прецизније утврђивања индивидуалне старости, пола код деце
и присуства палеопатолошких промена којима ће се истражити
да ли је биолошки статус могао условити разлике у погребном
ритуалу деце.

AB  - INFANO je projekat koji primenom interdisciplinarnih metoda istražuje vezu između društvenog položaja i bioloških aspekata kod devojčica i dečaka sahranjenih na nekropolama bronzanog doba Mokrin i Ostojićevo. Projekat INFANO odgovoriće na sledeća pitanja: 1) da li postoji razlika u pogrebnom ritualu između devojčica i dečaka, u smislu prisustva grobnih priloga, prostorne distribucije sahrana u okviru nekropole i karakteristika sahrane; 2) da li potencijalne razlike u ovim aspektima odgovaraju razlikama između muškaraca i žena, koje su posledica rodnih uloga i društvenog statusa; 3) koji faktor ima veći uticaj na ishranu i zdravlje deteta: pol/rod ili društveni status, koji je reflektovan u arheološkim karakteristikama sahrane. Putem analize peptida odrediće se pol dece, dok će se putem analiza stabilnih izotopa utvrditi vrsta hrane koja je konzumirana. Uporedo s tim, njihov zdravstveni status, rast i razvoj analiziraće se uz pomoć makroskopskih, histoloških i radioloških metoda (analize neonatalne linije zuba, panoramska radiografija vilice). Takođe, analiziraće se Harisove linije na tibijama odraslih individua kako bi se utvrdio broj stresnih epizoda preživljenih u detinjstvu. Rezultati pomenutih analiza posmatraće se zajedno kako bi se utvrdilo da li je biološki pol dece uticao na njihov društveni status, rodni identitet i buduću ulogu u društvu.

AB  - This essay represents a reflection on the role and relevance of the concept of human nature in archaeology, inspired by the ideas about human nature presented and elaborated by Maria Kronfeldner in the book What’s Left of Human Nature?. It is a comment from an archaeologist’s perspective. Kronfeldner formulated three ways in which human nature can be conceptualized: classificatory, descriptive and explanatory human nature. In the text, I review the archaeological and anthropological topics for which the three aspects of human nature are relevant. In the first part, I address the problems related to the concepts of classificatory and descriptive human nature in the late Pleistocene, when Homo sapiens was not the only species of the genus Homo on the planet. In the second part, I discuss the role of human nature from the epistemological position when it comes to the theoretical basis of reconstructing human behavior in the past and the more general anthropological issue of establishing cross-cultural regularities and laws. This is by no means a comprehensive and detailed survey of the potentially relevant topics, but it should illustrate the usefulness and relevance of Kronfeldner’s concepts for the fields of archaeology and anthropology.
AB  - U ovom eseju razmatraju se uloga i relevantnost koncepta ljudske prirode u arheologiji, naosnovu ideja o ljudskoj prirodi koje je formulisala Marija Kronfeldner u knjizi What’s Left ofHuman Nature. Ovo je, pre svega, komentar na ove ideje iz perspektive arheologa. Kronfeldner je predstavila tri načina kako se ljudska priroda može konceptualizovati: kao klasifikaciona, deskriptivna i eksplanatorna ljudska priroda. Ovaj esej predstavlja pregled arheološkihi antropoloških tema za koje su ova tri aspekta ljudske prirode relevantna. U prvom delu,bavim se problemima vezanim za koncepte klasifikacione i deskriptivne ljudske prirode u kasnom pleistocenu, kada Homo sapiens nije bio jedina vrsta roda Homo na planeti. U drugomdelu, razmatram ulogu koncepta ljudske prirode u arheologiji i antropologiji iz epistemološkeperspektive, fokusirajući se na teorijsku osnovu rekonstrukcije ljudskog ponašanja u prošlosti i na opšti antropološki problem uspostavljanja kroskulturnih pravilnosti i zakona. Ovosvakako nije sveobuhvatan i detaljan pregled potencijalno relevantnih tema, ali ilustruje korisnost i relevantnost koncepata koje je definisala Kronfeldner kada su u pitanju arheologijai antropologija.

AB  - Understanding the nature of copying errors in the cultural transmission of material culture is highly relevant for students of cultural evolution, especially in the field of evolutionary archaeology. In this paper, we set up a classic transmission chain experiment, which involves making clay anthropomorphic figurines, to explore the nature of the copying error related to the production of 3D objects. The experiment consists of four independent transmission chains, each with 10 participants. Three chains are non-expert chains, as they consist of students of archaeology and psychology with no formal training in arts. The fourth is an expert chain consisting of art students. Our results show that the copying error predictably differs between the experts and the non-experts – it is lower in the expert chain. However, in both groups, the error is higher than predicted by the models that assume that the copying error is only due to imperfections in the perception of linear dimensions. Taken together, these two results suggest that, in addition to the error in perception, the error in the execution contributes significantly to the overall error, as predicted by the recently formulated object-mediated transmission model (Crema et al., 2023). The results of our experiment also show that the errors are often biased rather than random, suggesting that the transmission process involves the transformations anticipated by the cultural attraction theory.

AB  - The social inequality represents one of the major problems of the contemporary world and an important anthropological subject. The transition to agriculture is often viewed as an important turning point for the development of social
inequality in (pre)history. For this reason, the study of the social inequality in
the Neolithic communities is of particular importance for the understanding of
the origins and the development of this phenomenon. This paper represents an
empirical contribution to the study of social inequality in the Late Neolithic
in the Central Balkans (5300-4500 BCE). The aim is to quanitfy and estimate
the levels of inequality between households in three Late Neolithic settlements:
Belovode, Pločnik, and Drenovac. In line with the current methods for the estimation of social inequality from archaeological remains, this study relies on the
house floor area as a proxy for household wealth. The house floor area measurements are based on the geophysical surveys data published in the literature
with around 1000 house floor area measurements available for the analysis. The
Gini index is calculated for each site based in the distribution of house floor
area. The results suggest that the social inequality on all three sites was relatively low, as the Gini values range from 0.18 to 0.22. These values fit well
with the Gini estimates based on the previous research of the social inequality
in the Neolithic and Eneolithic period in the Central Balkans. When compared
to the cross-cultural variation based on the ethnographic, historical and archaeological sources from the literature, these values are low compared to other horticultural and agricultural communities. One potential explanation for such
low values is that the agricultural production in the Late Neolithic of the Central
Balkans was labor-limited rather than land-limited, which usually results in the
low potential for social inequality, as hypothesized and shown by Bogaard et al.
(2019). On the other hand, we must keep in mind that the wealth is measured
by proxy which is suitable for the detection of statistical trends in cross-cultural
comparisons, but may be less reliable for individual cases. Moreover, it is not
certain that the individual house is the basic social unit, as it is possible that the
basic social unit for a corporate group which includes extended families living
in several houses. Therefore, the result which suggests low levels of social inequality should be taken as a hypothesis which needs to be tested further with
other classes of evidence.

AB  - What was driving the migrations of the first farmers across Europe? How were demography, society, and environment interconnected to give rise to the macroregional expansion pattern that archaeology is revealing? We simulate the demography and spatial behavior of the first farming communities in the Central Balkans in order to infer the parameters and mechanisms of the Neolithic expansion in this part of Europe. We compare the simulation output to the empirical record of radiocarbon dates in order to systematically evaluate which expansion scenarios were the most probable. Our results suggest that if the expansion of the Neolithic unfolded in accord with the specific wave of advance model that we presented in this paper, the expansion was driven by very high fertility and community fission to avoid social tensions. The simulation suggests that the number of children born by an average Neolithic woman who lived through her entire fertile period was around 8 children or more, which is on the high end of the ethnographically recorded human total fertility rate spectrum. The most plausible simulated fission threshold values are between 50 and 100 people, which is usually smaller than the estimated environmental carrying capacity. This would suggest that the primary reason for the community fission and for seeking out new land was social rather than ecological.

AB  - In this paper, we test the hypothesis of the Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central Balkan Early Neolithic (6250-5300 BC) by applying the method of summed calibrated probability distributions to the set of more than 200 new radiocarbon dates from Serbia. The results suggest that there was an increase in population size after the first farmers arrived to the study area around 6250 BC. This increase lasted for approximately 250 years and was followed by a decrease in the population size proxy after 6000 BC, reaching its minimum around 5800 BC. This was followed by another episode of growth until 5600 BC when population size proxy rapidly declined, reaching the minimum again around 5500 BC. The reconstructed intrinsic growth rate value indicates that the first episode of growth might have been fuelled both by high fertility and migrations, potentially related to the effects of the 8.2 ky event. The second episode of population growth after 5800 BC was probably owing to the high fertility alone. It remains unclear what caused the episodes of population decrease. This article is part of the theme issue 'Cross-disciplinary approaches to prehistoric demography'.

AB  - This work is a reply to the comment by Edinborough et al. (2021) on our recently published paper (Penezic ' et al., 2020). In our original paper we presented the results based on the tooth cementum annulation analysis that show that the Neolithic females had higher levels of physiological stress than the Mesolithic females in the Central Balkans. We proposed the hypothesis that this was caused by differences in fertility. In their comment on our paper, Edinborough et al. (2021) question: 1) the accuracy and precision of the TCA analysis as the age estimation method 2) that pregnancies leave traces in the tooth cementum 3) our interpretation of the results. In this reply we argue: 1) that the TCA is a reliable method for age estimation 2) that the reflection of pregnancies in the tooth cementum was established by independent and previously published research and 3) we clarify that our interpretation - that the increased fertility in the Neolithic period may be the cause of the observed patterns - is a hypothesis that needs to be further tested rather than the final conclusion of our original paper.

AB  - Twenty-four palaeogenomes from Mokrin, a major Early Bronze Age necropolis in southeastern Europe, were sequenced to analyse kinship between individuals and to better understand prehistoric social organization. 15 investigated individuals were involved in genetic relationships of varying degrees. The Mokrin sample resembles a genetically unstructured population, suggesting that the community's social hierarchies were not accompanied by strict marriage barriers. We find evidence for female exogamy but no indications for strict patrilocality. Individual status differences at Mokrin, as indicated by grave goods, support the inference that females could inherit status, but could not transmit status to all their sons. We further show that sons had the possibility to acquire status during their lifetimes, but not necessarily to inherit it. Taken together, these findings suggest that Southeastern Europe in the Early Bronze Age had a significantly different family and social structure than Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age societies of Central Europe.

AB  - The new set of radiocarbon dates was used to explore the timing and tempo of the Neolithic expansion across the Central Balkans. Our results suggest that the first farmers arrived in this region around or few decades before 6200 cal BC. The observed spatio-temporal pattern based on the radiocarbon data suggests that the general direction of the expansion was along the south-north axis. The regression analysis (arrival time vs. distance from the origin of expansion in northern Greece) was used to estimate the Neolithic front speed. The results of this analysis suggest that there is a moderate fit of the linear model. Most of the front speed estimates based on the Central Balkan data are between 1 and 2.5 km/year (depending on the data subset and the statistical technique) which is mostly above the expected range (around 1 km/year) for the standard wave of advance model and the empirically determined continental averages. We conclude that the spatio-temporal pattern of the Neolithic expansion in the Central Balkans is broadly consistent with the predictions of the wave of advance model, with the possibility of sporadic leapfrog migration events. The speed of the expansion seems to have been faster in the Central Balkans compared to the continental average.

AB  - We used the tooth cementum annulation method (TCA) to investigate physiological stress before and during the Neolithic demographic transition in Europe. Episodes of physiological stress are reflected as "stress layers" in the tooth cementum at an almost annual resolution. We used the TCA method to detect and count the number of the stress events for a sample of 21 Mesolithic and 25 Neolithic individuals from the Central Balkans from the period between 9500 and 5400 years BC. In accord with the theory of the Neolithic demographic transition, we hypothesize that the Neolithic individuals will have more stress than the Mesolithic individuals. Our results suggest that the Neolithic females had significantly more stress layers in the tooth cementum per year of life than the Mesolithic females. The difference between Mesolithic and Neolithic males was not statistically significant. We conclude that Neolithic women had more physiological stress episodes than Mesolithic women. The differential pattern between sexes, combined with the fact that pregnancies are one of the major causes of stress layer formation in tooth cementum, might indicate that the observed differences are mostly due to increased fertility in the Neolithic.

AB  - The Vinča culture represents one the most important archaeological phenomena of the Neolithic and Eneolithic world in Southeastern Europe. As all other archaeological cultures, the Vinča culture is defined in the era of culture-historical archaeology, representing a set of sites with similar material culture with a core area in the Central Balkans. The task of modern archaeological research is to reconstruct social and cultural processes that gave rise to the observed patterns of material culture. In this paper I explore two partially related issues: 1) the formation of the Vinča culture (Early-Late Neolithic or Starčevo-Vinča transition) 2) regional and settlement demography of the Vinča culture. The transition between the Early Neolithic Starčevo culture and the Late Neolithic Vinča culture was marked mainly by changes in pottery style and technology, as well as in settlement size and architecture. The analysis of the regional population dynamics pattern based on the summed probability of calibrated probability distributions of radiocarbon dates suggest that the population rapidly increased after ~5300 cal BC. The relative population size proxy curve reached its peak ~5200 cal BC and had remained relatively constant until 4500 cal BC when it declined sharply. Estimates of settlement population sizes suggest that changes in the community organization also occurred, as Vinča culture settlements with hundreds of people, even over a thousand in some cases, could support higher levels of scalar stress than earlier Starčevo settlements. The current state of evidence is such that no definite answer can be given regarding the hypotheses about the formation of the Vinča culture.

AB  - 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 interpretations, the small dimensions of spoons and presence of intensive traces of use led us to the assumption that they were used for feeding babies. In order to test that assumption we compared 2230 marks on three spoons from the Neolithic site of Grad-Starcevo in Serbia (5800-5450 cal BC) with 3151 primary teeth marks produced experimentally. This study has shown that some of the marks on spoons were made by primary teeth, which indicate their usage in feeding babies. The production of a new type of artefact to feed babies is probably related to the appearance of a new type of weaning food, and the abundance of spoons indicates that new baby gruels became an important innovation in prehistoric baby-care.

AB  - Archaeological excavation as the basic form of fieldwork in archaeology is frequently perceived, especially in the Serbian archaeological community, as the focus of the archaeological method. The syllabi of university courses in methodology of archaeological research are often primarily devoted to the methods and techniques of excavation. The aim of this paper is to present a wider picture, i.e. to present the role of excavation in archaeological method from the point of view of epistemology as the general methodology of scientific research. Two questions are essential in this process: 1. What is the epistemological structure of archaeological research and what is the place of excavation? 2. Does archaeological excavation have any specific traits compared to structurally equivalent epistemological positions of other sciences, natural as well as social? Although it may seem that the answer to the first question is straightforward - excavation produces data for archaeological research - it is only partially true in reality, since the quantity and quality of data produced by excavation forms just a small part of the universe of data generated in archaeology in order to answer the research questions and to test hypotheses. Also, the majority of archaeological research is conducted on the already excavated material (and therefore independently of research questions and hypotheses of a later research project), and it is only rare that excavation is conducted as a research phase of a particular project, thus differing archaeology from the majority of other sciences, where the phase of gathering data (e.g. experiment or survey) follows the formulation of research objectives and hypotheses. This reflects the specific epistemological position of archaeological excavation, which is the consequence of the fact that archaeological excavation is not always linked to academic research, but is sometimes conducted in the absence of a definite research project (e.g. rescue excavations). At the same time, the destructive character of excavation raises the issue of replication of interpretation of stratigraphic relations and decisions on collecting and documenting the material. Archaeological excavation is the basic source of material on the grounds of which data are generated in the problem-oriented research, while the quantity of data generated by fieldwork excavation is limited to contextual-stratigraphic information. Non-replicability of archaeological excavation produces a strong need for detailed documentation during the process itself, but in order to be rational, the scope of this documentation is limited by the scope of existing methods. The paper presents possible models of growth of archaeological knowledge, favouring the model of declining benefits and relative finity of archaeological knowledge.

AB  - The subject of this paper is the social structure and sociocultural evolution of Balkan Neolithic and Eneolithic societies between 6500 and 4200 BC. I draw on archaeological evidence from three major regions of the Balkans related to demography, settlement, economy, warfare, and differences in status and wealth between individuals and groups to evaluate the degree and kind of social complexity and inequality. The trend in these data is of increase in social complexity and inequality over two millennia following the introduction of agriculture to the Balkans, as the simple and small hamlets of the late seventh and early sixth millennia transformed into large villages and tell sites of the late sixth and fifth millennia, in parallel with the development of copper metallurgy and regional exchange networks. There is no evidence of social stratification or the formation of complex systems of regional integration such as (proto)states or urban centers. The Balkan communities of this period were essentially village communities with social inequalities, when present, limited to differences in prestige and potentially rank.

AB  - Archaeological interpretations of continuity and abandonment can have significant implications for descendent communities. Such interpretations are contingent on the social and spatial scale of analysis. We assess the evidence for continuity among the Coast Salish at four of social-spatial scales using a suite of radiocarbon dates derived from Tsleil-Wat (Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm) and the Fraser Valley (similar to 3500-250 cal BP). We define continuity as the ability to pass on place-based knowledge inter-generationally conservatively a span of 60 years. For each social-spatial scale, we evaluate whether we have the minimum number of radiocarbon dates required to assess continuity. We also utilize demographic modeling of the radiocarbon dates to evaluate whether there are significant gaps in the data that would indicate discontinuities in occupation. Overlapping radiocarbon dates suggest continuity at various social-spatial scales, but our ability to detect long-term continuity increases with sample size and size of the social-spatial unit. The modeling did not reveal gaps in occupation, but low statistical power limits our ability to make conclusive interpretations. These analyses highlight both the importance of choosing appropriate scales of analysis and the potential limitations of archaeological data sets for evaluating continuity at culturally meaningful scales in the past.

AB  - We extend an established simulation-based method to test for significant short-duration (1-2 centuries) demographic events known from one documented historical and one oral historical context. Case study 1 extrapolates population data from the Western historical tradition using historically derived demographic data from the catastrophic European Black Death/bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis). We find a corresponding statistically significant drop in absolute population using an extended version of a previously published simulation method. Case study 2 uses this refined simulation method to test for a settlement gap identified in oral historical records of descendant Tsimshian First Nations communities from the Prince Rupert Harbour region of the Pacific Northwest region of British Columbia, Canada. Using a regional database of n = 523 radiocarbon dates, we find a significant drop in relative population using the extended simulation- based method consistent with Tsimshian oral records. We conclude that our technical refinement extends the utility of radiocarbon simulation methods and can provide a rigorous test of demographic predictions derived from a range of historical sources.

AB  - The Central Balkans region is of great importance for understanding the spread of the Neolithic in Europe but the Early Neolithic population dynamics of the region is unknown. In this study we apply the method of summed calibrated probability distributions to a set of published radiocarbon dates from the Republic of Serbia in order to reconstruct population dynamics in the Early Neolithic in this part of the Central Balkans. The results indicate that there was a significant population growth after similar to 6200 calBC, when the Neolithic was introduced into the region, followed by a bust at the end of the Early Neolithic phase (similar to 5400 calBC). These results are broadly consistent with the predictions of the Neolithic Demographic Transition theory and the patterns of population booms and busts detected in other regions of Europe. These results suggest that the cultural process that underlies the patterns observed in Central and Western Europe was also in operation in the Central Balkan Neolithic and that the population increase component of this process can be considered as an important factor for the spread of the Neolithic as envisioned in the demic diffusion hypothesis.

AB  - Demographic aspects of prehistoric populations have an important role in current archaeological theory and empirical research. In this study, we develop a method to estimate population dynamics and population size and apply it to data on house remains at one of key European Mesolithic-Neolithic transitional sites - Lepenski Vir (Serbia). Lepenski Vir is a site located in the Danube Gorges, well-known for its trapezoidal house floors and stone sculpture. It was most intensively occupied between similar to 6200 and similar to 6000 cal BC, the so called Transitional phase, which corresponds to the beginning of the Neolithic in Central Balkans. We combine archaeological evidence and ethnographic information with mathematical models of population dynamics and house accumulation within a Bayesian framework (Approximate Bayesian Computation) to derive posterior distributions of growth rate and population size estimates for the Lepenski Vir population in this period.
