AB  - Tekst govori o epistemološkim problemima i dilemama vezanim za pokušaj
da se arheološkim putem istražuje religijski život u praistoriji. U nizu poteškoća,
kako teorijskih tako i praktičnih, koje stoje na putu nastojanju da se na bazi arheoloških
ostataka diskutuje o religiji u prošlosti, ovom prilikom biće razmotren generalni
problem: da li je i kako moguća arheologija religije? Pomenuta dilema bila je povod
niza diskusija koje su pokrenute tokom poslednjih decenija 20. veka, pretežno u okviru
anglofone arheološke zajednice. U tradiciji ovdašnje arheologije, jugoslovenskog i
postjugoslovenskog perioda, dilema u vezi sa pomenutim pitanjem praktično da nije ni
postojala, kao što ni sam religijski život praistorijskih stanovnika ovog područja nije bio
tema neposrednog interesovanja. S tim u vezi, rad ima za cilj da, referišući na diskusije
koje su proteklih decenija vođene u okviru šire arheološke zajednice, podstakne na razmišljanje
o mogućnostima i nemogućnostima istraživanja i razumevanja religijskog života
u praistoriji. Primeri odabrani da ilustruju probleme koji se pojavljuju u nastojanju
da se istraži religijski život u praistoriji potiču iz mlađe praistorije centralnog Balkana.
AB  - The text discusses the epistemological problems and dilemmas of the attempts
to study religious life in prehistory by archaeological means. Among
numerous difficulties, theoretical as well as practical, hindering these attempts,
a general problem is discussed here: is archaeology of religion possible and on
what grounds? This dilemma raised a series of discussions over the last decades
of the 20th century, primarily among the English-speaking archaeologists. However,
in the tradition of regional archaeology of Yugoslavian and post-Yugoslavian
lands this discussion has not been initiated, and the religious life of the
prehistoric communities has not been the subject of particular research interest.
Consequently, the aim of this paper is to bring attention to the possibilities and
limitations of research into religion in prehistory, referring to the recent discussions
in wider archaeological community. Two questions are discussed: firstly,
how religion is conceptualized and defined in prehistoric contexts, and secondly,
how it is possible to make inferences on religion on the grounds of material
remains, if religion is understood in general sense, as belief in supernatural,
non-material principles.
The text concludes by the suggestion that the holistic approach, advocating
that the religious phenomena should be regarded in structural relationship to all
other aspects of social life, is productive if this proposition is taken to imply the
scrutiny of numerous correlations between religion and other social domains.
However, it is not acceptable to deny heuristic and analytic value of the very
concept of religion. The importance of research into religious rituals is stressed,
i.e. religious behaviour and practices, that are accessible through archaeological
record, as opposed to religious principles, beliefs and dogmas. The orientation
of archaeological research towards the field of ritual practices presupposes the
effort to discern the purpose of a ritual and its outcomes, i.e. to consider the
structural intertwining of ritual behaviour with all other aspects of social life, in
accordance with the holistic approach.
AB  - Ce texte traite des problèmes épistémologiques et des dilemmes liés à l’essai
d’étudier archéologiquement la vie religieuse en préhistoire. De toute une série
de difficultés, tant théoriques que pratiques, dérangeant les efforts de fonder la discussion sur la religion dans le passé sur les restes archéologiques, cette foisci on choisit d’observer le problème général : archéologie de la religion, est-elle
possible et si oui comment ? Le dilemme mentionné était la cause d’une série de
discussions soulevées pendant les dernières décennies du 20e
 siècle principalement dans la communauté archéologique anglophone. Dans la tradition de l’archéologie nationale de la période yougoslave et post-yougoslave, le dilemme
concernant cette question n’existait pratiquement pas et la vie religieuse des
habitants préhistoriques de cette région n’était pas non plus le sujet d’un intérêt
particulier. Par conséquent, l’objectif de ce travail est d’inciter à l’observation
des possibilités et d’impossibilités de la compréhension de la vie religieuse en
préhistoire et cela en se référant aux discussions menées ces dernières décennies
dans la communauté archéologique plus vaste. Deux questions ont été étudiées
dans ce but. Par la première question on se demande comment on conceptualise
et définit la religion quand il s’agit du contexte préhistorique tandis que la deuxième question interroge sur la possibilité de faire les conclusions sur la religion
basées sur les restes matériels si on interprète la religion dans un sens général
comme croyance en principes surnaturels et immatériels.
La conclusion finale du travail suggère que l’approche holistique, imposant
que l’observation des phénomènes religieux soit structuralement liée à tous les
autres aspects de la vie sociale, a un sens si on la comprend comme une demande d’examiner le plus grand nombre possible de corrélations entre la religion et les autres phénomènes sociaux, mais qu’il est inacceptable de supprimer ainsi la pertinence heuristique et analytique du concept de la religion. De
plus, on souligne l’importance des recherches des rituels religieux, à savoir du
comportement religieux et des pratiques religieuses qui sont, à la différence
des principes, croyances et dogmes religieux, accessibles en quelque sorte dans
les restes archéologiques. L’orientation de l’approche archéologique vers le domaine de pratiques rituelles comprend l’effort de saisir quel est l’objectif des
rituels et ce qu’on atteint avec eux, c’est-à-dire de reconsidérer, suivant l’approche holistique proposée, le réseau structurel et les liens du comportement
rituel avec tous les autres aspects de la vie sociale.

AB  - Miloje M. Vasic (1869-1956) is considered to be the founding father of Serbian archaeology. This paper directly challenges, as based on detailed archival research, the prevailing view that his excavation of the Vinca archaeological site is a model standard for Serbian archaeology. Instead, Vasic's handling of the excavation was selective, non-systematic and destructive when viewed today from the perspective of modern practices. Vasic originally gained authority based on the discovery of Vinca, a prehistoric archaeological site that contains layers from the Neolithic to the middle ages. In his zeal to uncover "prehistory", he deliberately ignored the other archaeological layers present. The most significant example of neglected archaeological remains is his excavations of Vinca's medieval cemetery where he did not document observations systematically. This prioritization of the importance of one archaeological period over another was reflected in the further development of archaeology in Serbia, so that medieval archaeology was treated as marginal and second-rate compared to others. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to contextualize Vasic's approach through the methods used in the history of archaeology. The key research question thereof is how Miloje M. Vasic failed to document the burials at the Vinca site, which is the consequent reason why there is little to no documented evidence of them. The theoretical and methodological basis of the analysis is based on the approach of Gavin Lucas who views the creation of the primary field documentation as testimony. Lucas notes that the debate concerning knowledge production had drifted from merely an epistemological issue to a phenomenon centered around archaeological practice. Here the key questions have come to concern the social and material setting of knowledge production and not the objective coherence of the argument. Burials that were noted in Vasic's documentation are categorized into four groups: 1) unwanted or medieval burials; 2) incidental burials originating from prehistory 3) an "ossuary" from Vinca containing nine skeletons and 4) imagined multiple cremations based on one found cremation. Therefore, even while documenting several "lateral" prehistoric graves, he entirely omitted any thorough documentation of the medieval cemetery, considering them of less import. If there is any lesson that may be learned from this journey through the history of archaeological practice, it is that archaeological documentation as a form of testimony should be done ethically, adequately and responsibly. It should not be done according to the practices of the "bad science" of its founding-fathers.

AB  - It has become a truism that museum exhibitions and interpretations are influenced by wider theoretical concepts and the author's personal ideas. Winckelmann's legacy is present in most of the European museums. Sometimes the concepts emphasizing Greece are perpetuated over decades, in spite of the fact that new archaeological interpretations contradict this NEO-Classicist reading. Two examples will be offered to illustrate this situation. The first is the case of the Neolithic site of Vinča near Belgrade, excavated during several campaigns from 1908 to 1934 by Miloje Vasić. At the time he started researching the site, Vasić was the director of the National Museum in Belgrade and a professor of archaeology at the university. He argued that Vinča was a settlement of the Aegean colonists and an emanation of the Minoan and Mycenaean Bronze Age spirit. From 1934 on, he even identified Vinča as an Ionian colony from the sixth century B.C.E. After the First World War, Vasić ceased being the director of the museum and focused on the work at the university. At the same time, his Vinča interpretation was met with sharp criticism both in the Serbian and international archaeological communities and the site was firmly dated as Neolithic. Faced with criticism, even from the National Museum Belgrade, in 1929 Vasić established the University Archaeological Collection, where he placed material from the post-war excavations at Vinča and continued exhibiting his philhellenic interpretation. The second case to be presented is what is referred to as the princely grave from Novi Pazar, one of the most Iron Age important finds in the Central Balkans. From the middle of the twentieth century almost to the present day, a thesis concerning the Greek-Illyrian treasures has been perpetuated, although the new interpretations have clearly shown that both parts of this title are problematic

AB  - The purpose of this paper is to analyze figurative use of temperature lexems in Latin. In the scope of this study, special attention is paid to metaphors in Roman comedy which is chronologically the earliest literary corpus and inherently prone to figurative language. Moreover, metaphors involving heat and coldness mostly describe very strong feelings, loss of control, boredom and disinterest — frequent comic motifs.

AB  - The text discusses the epistemological problems and dilemmas of the attempts to study religious life in prehistory by archaeological means. Among numerous difficulties, theoretical as well as practical, hindering these attempts, a general problem is discussed here: is archaeology of religion possible and on what grounds? This dilemma raised a series of discussions over the last decades of the 20th century, primarily among the English-speaking archaeologists. However, in the tradition of regional archaeology of Yugoslavian and post-Yugoslavian lands this discussion has not been initiated, and the religious life of the prehistoric communities has not been the subject of particular research interest. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to bring attention to the possibilities and limitations of research into religion in prehistory, referring to the recent discussions in wider archaeological community. Two questions are discussed: firstly, how religion is conceptualized and defined in prehistoric contexts, and secondly, how it is possible to make inferences on religion on the grounds of material remains, if religion is understood in general sense, as belief in supernatural, non-material principles. The text concludes by the suggestion that the holistic approach, advocating that the religious phenomena should be regarded in structural relationship to all other aspects of social life, is productive if this proposition is taken to imply the scrutiny of numerous correlations between religion and other social domains. However, it is not acceptable to deny heuristic and analytic value of the very concept of religion. The importance of research into religious rituals is stressed, i.e. religious behaviour and practices, that are accessible through archaeological record, as opposed to religious principles, beliefs and dogmas. The orientation of archaeological research towards the field of ritual practices presupposes the effort to discern the purpose of a ritual and its outcomes, i.e. to consider the structural intertwining of ritual behaviour with all other aspects of social life, in accordance with the holistic approach.

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  - The paper investigates the relationship between archaeological paradigm, fieldwork practice and archaeological records generated in Serbia after the World War II. The issue is the need to revalorize "old" archaeological records in the context of the current theoretical changes and of adaptation of the existing evidence to new research perspectives. These general issues are discussed on the example of culture-historical or traditional approach in Medieval archaeology in the Serbian context. From the point of view of postprocessual archaeology, the paradigmatic position entirely determines the evidence generated during excavations. Consequently, it may be expected that the excavations conducted under the culture-historical school of thought may only answer the questions posed from the culture-historical viewpoint. Therefore, the limitations are great of reinterpretation of the evidence generated in the culture-historical framework. Additionally, the problems of reinterpretation are raised by inaccessibility or non-existence of complete field documentation or unsatisfactory archiving. In other words, the data at our disposal arc far removed from the complexity of archaeological record necessary for new insights and a better understanding of the past. The problem is further influenced by the specific character of archaeological knowledge and the issue of non-replicability that differs archaeology from other experimentally grounded research areas. Consequently, a string of problems raises in the process of reinterpretation of the "old" evidence, but it can still be treated as useful in interpretation, provided that it is adequately contextualized. The key points of the changed approach to archaeological research today may be defined as the overcoming of the notion of paradigm and the dualistic mode of thinking, with an emphasized importance of post-humanist philosophy and new materialism. One of the aspects of the post-humanist approach is the consideration of animals in archaeological record as companions to people of the past. This case-study considers specific issues of human-animal relations and "animal turn" on the grounds of the archaeological records interpreted as Mediaeval in the framework of the culture-historical paradigm. The new positioning of the "old" evidence stems from the theoretical tendencies linked to the "ontological turn" in social anthropology and archaeology, and the social epistemology of L. Fleck.

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  - 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 professionals and institutions. In Germany and Austria institutionalization started earlier, by the beginning of the 20th century, so a great number of the Serbian and Yugoslav archaeologists was educated in the German centres - Marburg, Berlin, Munich, Vienna and other universities. Adam Orsic started working in archaeology in 1930s, self-taught and leaning primarily on the experience of older colleagues, rather than on formal education, which he did not possess at the time. However, he started fieldwork on the sites in Nis and the surrounding area, collecting a huge set of data, that remained in his private possession. It was this data collection and his vast fieldwork experience in southern Serbia that for Orsic opened the door of Ahnenerbe and heritage protection institutions during the occupation. As the result of the status he achieved at the time, he was sent to Oswald Menghin in Vienna, where he completed his dissertation in 1944. During the war, his insistence on fieldwork as the essential part of archaeological research became even more pronounced, leading to his suggestion to Ahnenerbe to organize an expedition in Serbia and Macedonia. The status acquired by his doctorate under the mentorship of Menghin, the leading praehistorian of Europe at the time, enabled Orsic to continue his archaeological work after the war, first as a refugee in Austria, and then as an immigrant to Brazil. Orsic considered fieldwork as the means through which archaeologists acquire exclusive knowledge. He himself used this knowledge throughout his career to strengthen his authority and to achieve esteem in the academic community. His vast experience and knowledge of the sites in Serbia contributed to the respect he enjoyed by the authorities during the war, set his educational path, and ultimately secured him the status he enjoyed in the settings he worked till the end of his life.

AB  - Over the last decades, some archaeologists have adopted the approaches from philosophy and anthropology that may loosely be denoted by the term new materialism. The key assumptions are that archaeological investigation, regardless of the theoretical stance applied, has always been burdened by the modem mode of thinking and dichotomies such as nature/culture or subject/object, wherefrom stems the anthropocentric approach to the study of objects, primarily in respect to humans. It is suggested that the reality consists of a plethora of diverse elements, all deserving equal attention and all their existences being of equal relevance. Objects, animals, plants, all have the potential to act in a network of equal actors. A researcher must therefore respect the flat ontology, where none of the actors has primacy. The paper problematizes some of the (un)intentional implications of the ontological turn for the theory and practice of archaeology. First of all, the proposed flattening destabilizes the key disciplinary distinction - study of the human past through its material remains. The downplaying of the importance of human actions in the formation of networks of mutually equal actors at the same time downplays the human responsibility. In this way, various forms of inequality among humans as research priorities and the potential of social engagement of archaeology are neglected. Similar critique of new materialism is raised in the fields of philosophy and anthropology as well. This brings about the issue of interdisciplinary transfers of thin descriptions - selective adoption of concepts whose full implications remain neglected.

AB  - In July 2009 the National Museum in Belgrade received - as a donation - two elements of a funerary assemblage: a fragmented mask and a conjoined collar-breast covering. Although heavily damaged, those ancient Egyptian mummy trappings furnish modem analysts with valuable information about their fabrication and ritual employment. The mask is of helmet-type, made of gessoed linen which had been decorated with paint and gilded upon the face. The front of the mask is in relatively fair condition, but the top and rear have suffered considerably, being reduced to small fragments whose original position is difficult to determine. The mask is heavily affected by staining caused by deliberately over-poured resin, i.e. the traces of a ritual unguent pouring. The collar-breast covering is a conjoined type forming a single rectangular or rather slightly trapezoidal plaque. The collar design consists of a system of schematized floral decoration arranged in seven semicircular bands around a single semi-lunate zone. A decorative grid containing funerary motifs extends below the collar field. It consists of four horizontal registers separated by polychrome bands of colored rectangles. The whole forms a complex tapestry of protective imagery: deities, amuletic symbols and magical vignettes. The mask and the breast cover are datable to the late Ptolemaic Period (ca. 100 -50 B.C.). The most likely place of origin is site of Hawara at the entrance to the Fayum region.

AB  - Throughout the history of classical scholarship, the research into the presupposed
historical testimonial value of the Homeric poems – Iliad and Odyssey,
has been founded upon the need to empirically confirm the contents of the epics,
or at least some of their elements, as a historical reality; the archaeological study
has been geared towards the confirmation through material evidence. The first
part of the paper lays out the circumstances and research trends that caused this
approach to Homer as a historic source.
Apart from archaeology, an important role in the formulation of the problem
of Homeric epics was played by Milman Parry’s anthropological approach,
establishing the oral character of Homer’s language. Although this conclusion
remains key to understanding Homer as a historical source, other important conclusions
of the study in oral tradition have remained largely unexplored from
the perspective of archaeological research. Therefore, in the second part of the
paper the proposition is put forward to approach the testimonial value of the
Homeric poems from a more general anthropological perspective, leading to
alternative paths to the archaeological understanding of Homer. The epics will
be presented as an historical source for understanding the cultural change indicated
by the fact that the relatively long continuity of oral transmission of the
poems entered a new chapter during the Archaic period, when due to the new
technology of writing, they were translated from the oral to written medium of
communication.

de considérer le témoignage historique de l’œuvre homérique d’une perspective
anthropologique plus générale pour pouvoir ainsi élaborer d’autres approches
alternatives d’utilisation d’Homère dans les recherches archéologiques. Plus
concrètement, Homère sera présenté en tant que source historique laissant comprendre le changement culturel qui se trouverait derrière le fait que la continuité
de relativement longue durée de la tradition orale et des chants épiques est entrée dans un nouveau chapitre de son histoire durant l’époque archaïque où les
épopées, grâce à la diffusion de la technologie d’écriture, ont été mises à l’écrit
pour la première fois et ainsi, d’une certaine manière, traduites de l’oral à l’écrit.",

AB  - Throughout the history of classical scholarship, the research into the presupposed historical testimonial value of the Homeric poems - Iliad and Odyssey, has been founded upon the need to empirically confirm the contents of the epics, or at least some of their elements, as a historical reality; the archaeological study has been geared towards the confirmation through material evidence. The first part of the paper lays out the circumstances and research trends that caused this approach to Homer as a historic source. Apart from archaeology, an important role in the formulation of the problem of Homeric epics was played by Milman Parry's anthropological approach, establishing the oral character of Homer's language. Although this conclusion remains key to understanding Homer as a historical source, other important conclusions of the study in oral tradition have remained largely unexplored from the perspective of archaeological research. Therefore, in the second part of the paper the proposition is put forward to approach the testimonial value of the Homeric poems from a more general anthropological perspective, leading to alternative paths to the archaeological understanding of Homer. The epics will be presented as an historical source for understanding the cultural change indicated by the fact that the relatively long continuity of oral transmission of the poems entered a new chapter during the Archaic period, when due to the new technology of writing, they were translated from the oral to written medium of communication.

AB  - In the Renaissance Europe, along with the keen admiration for Egyptian antiquities, a custom has been recorded of production and consumption of a powder healing a number of ailments, produced by grounding mummies. The practice extended into the 20th century. The belief in the remedial effects of this substance is derived from the Classical and Arabic written sources, and may have been augmented by the ideas about the mystical wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, running throughout the European history and originating among the Classical Greeks. This exceptional example raises the problem of various ways in which the material remains of the past are perceived and classified. In the case of an Egyptian mummy, the object is a human body prepared for Afterlife in a culturally specific manner. Reception of ancient Egypt in subsequent epochs shrouded the practice of mummification, along with other aspects of this culture, in the veil covering the original character of the materialized trace. A human body - ecofact, subjected to a ritualized treatment, thus became an antiquity - artefact, whose possession insured social prestige. At the same time, precisely because its cultural affiliation, it was perceived as a source of healing powers, in the same way as some natural substances derived from plants or animals. The case of the Egyptian mummy illustrates the porosity of demarcation lines between the material traces of the past categorised as natural/cultural, artefact/ecofact, further leading to specialized and insufficiently integrated archaeological interpretations.

Najpre će biti reči o snažnoj prijemčivosti narativa o paleobalkanskim narodima nastalih kao rezultat istraživanja istorije Starog veka za arheologe, od trenutka kada je Fanula Papazoglu postala jedan od vodećih istraživača na polju antičke prošlosti. Zatim, kao snažna aberacija u odnosu na kontekst u kome su se teorijska polazišta prikriva- la, Papazoglu je značajna jer je eksplicirala svoje teorijsko-metodološke perspektive. Međutim, njena teorijska orijentacija bila je retrogradna u odnosu na međunarodne tokove svog vremena. U knjizi Srednjobalkanska plemena u predrimsko doba iz 1969. ona je primenila načela jednolinijskog evolucionizma, tipična za nauku XIX veka, i formulisala narativ o paleobalkanskim društvima. Time je cementirano shvatanje o paleobalkanskim narodima na zastarelim utemeljenjima, koje se do danas pre posmatra kao izvornik „čiste” istorijske građe nego kao prevaziđena interpretacija.
AB  - The scientific work of Fanula Papazoglu testifies about the unique flow of ideas between several disciplines in Yugoslav and Serbian archaeology. Foremost of all, the overarching receptiveness of the Paleo-Balkan tribe narrative has its roots in the research of ancient history. Such may be demonstrated by Fanula Papazoglu becoming one of the leading researchers in the field. Significant due to the powerful aberration of her theoretical perspectives in relation to her respective context, she explicated her own theoretical and methodological approaches. Her theoretical orientation was regressive in relation to the international trends of the time, which is evident in her book, “The Central Balkan Tribes in pre-Roman Times (1969). In this work, she applied the postulates of unilineal evolutionism, typical for the state of the sciences in the XIX century. She herself thereby formulated a narrative of “Paleo-Balkan tribes”, establishing this notion based on obsolete postulates, which have endured until the present day and are still considered to be a reputable source rather than a mere outdated interpretation.

AB  - Symbolic and cult practices of a community undoubtedly play an important
role in the formation of funerary contexts. On the other hand, in the absence of
written records on these practices, archaeologists are inclined to base their interpretations
upon generalized and simplified ideas on “primitive cults”, such as
“solar cult”. In this line of inference, technical aspects of the record are neglected
in order to obtain the preconceived symbolic “messages”. Among the princely
graves of the Central Balkans, the mounds in Atenica near Čačak have long
represented the only example of this type of funeral investigated in the course
of systematic archaeological excavations; therefore, numerous researchers have
devoted special attention to the construction of these tumuli and the possibilitiesof interpretation of the rites performed there. In this respect, special significance
is assigned to the so-called “ritual area” of the mound II – three rectangular areas
bordered by rows of pebbles, with conical pits filled by dark earth, fragments
of pottery and burnt bones. The interpretations have ranged from the ideas about
cremated human sacrifice, over a replica of a sanctuary, to the complex symbolic
of solar cult, expressed in numeric regularities. On the other hand, since the
buried individuals are cremated, the areas defined as funerary pyres have been
identified in both mounds – relatively small crescent-shaped areas of pebbles
with traces of burning. Practical incongruence stemming from this interpretation
has remained unexplored, in the effort to link the complex ritual of cremation
to the symbolic ideas perceived as appropriate for the cultural context of
the Atenica burials – human sacrifice, solar cult. In the circular line of argument,
more or less implicitly, these ideas have been applied as the starting premises for
the wider interpretation of the cult practices of the community whose exceptional
members were buried under the mounds near Čačak.

the generation of various genealogical interpretations and appropriations, racial,

was Miloje Vasić who first scrutinized the artifacts and ritual practices at Vinča,
interpreting them, among other, as representations of the myths of Apollo and
Hyperboreans sending their gifts from North to Delos wrapped in hay. He very
explicitly argued that the myth of Hyperboreans clearly relates to the traditions
of Vinča and the Danube valley. The Hyperborean theme was also elaborated by
the linguist Milan Budimir, treating it in the light of the Balkan continuity. Draga
Garašanin contributed, but also changed the idea of the Balkan Hyperborea in her
paper on the Bronze Age chariot from Dupljaja, interpreting this find in the light of
the myth of the Hyperborean Apollo, the solar cult and the heavenly chariot with
swans. The Dupljaja chariot became the central motif in the Serbian archaeology
infering the connections of northern Europe, the Balkans and the Aegean
during the Bronze Age. Similar interpretations, theoretically and chronologically
modified, are still present in the Serbian and European archaeology today

AB  - The understanding of the ways in which the pioneer of Serbian archaeology Miloje M. Vasic explained cultural changes is important for the archaeological tradition we work in. Consequently, the aim here is to detect the weak spots in the epistemological foundations of the Serbian archaeology and to enable the improvement of the conceptual tools we use. Vasic's entire interpretive concept of the praehistoric Danubian valley periphery was constructed before the World War I, and stated that it was decisively influenced by the religious ideas from the cult centres of the Aegean, and by the direct contact with the Greek colonists as well. Searching for the explanations for the then unknown material culture of Vinca, he chose cult objects because he believed these objects preserved conservative practices and reflected conservative tendencies of communities. The conclusions founded upon cult objects Vasic transformed into generalizations related to all other phenomena. Having chosen his sample, he used specific methods for analysis of archaeological material, developing a complex mechanism to explain how in the periphery these original ideas were transformed beyond recognition. He used stylistic analysis and method of groups, proceeding to the Kopienkritik method, developed by his teacher Adolf Furtwangler. Just like written sources are valorised by their place in the chain of reproduction form the original, in the same manner certain objects represent forms whose distance from the centre can be estimated. However, Vasic further complicated his equation, by introducing at least one more force operating upon the degeneration of objects on the periphery - the influence of deep substrate levels of the peripheral cultures. This intersection of forces may be labelled as Vasic's "law of periphery", according to which the corruption of material culture in the periphery is influenced by the distance from the centre and the conservatism of the deeper popular layers. Although he linked this profound traditionalism of population to the survivals, in Vasic's interpretive key these in fact represent the mutated form of the concept of survivals, borrowed from unilineal evolutionism, and are more linked to substrate, according to which continuity is supposed to be monitored, than to evolutionary phases of development. He identified this mutated concept of survivals and substrate in folk customs, the most famous being the recognition of the Dionysian ritual in the ethnographic present of his time. This manner of chronologically and spatially unlimited analogical reasoning inevitably led to erroneous interpretations, with long-lasting epistemological consequences in Serbian archaeology.

abstract = "The understanding of the ways in which the pioneer of Serbian archaeology Miloje M. Vasic explained cultural changes is important for the archaeological tradition we work in. Consequently, the aim here is to detect the weak spots in the epistemological foundations of the Serbian archaeology and to enable the improvement of the conceptual tools we use. Vasic's entire interpretive concept of the praehistoric Danubian valley periphery was constructed before the World War I, and stated that it was decisively influenced by the religious ideas from the cult centres of the Aegean, and by the direct contact with the Greek colonists as well. Searching for the explanations for the then unknown material culture of Vinca, he chose cult objects because he believed these objects preserved conservative practices and reflected conservative tendencies of communities. The conclusions founded upon cult objects Vasic transformed into generalizations related to all other phenomena. Having chosen his sample, he used specific methods for analysis of archaeological material, developing a complex mechanism to explain how in the periphery these original ideas were transformed beyond recognition. He used stylistic analysis and method of groups, proceeding to the Kopienkritik method, developed by his teacher Adolf Furtwangler. Just like written sources are valorised by their place in the chain of reproduction form the original, in the same manner certain objects represent forms whose distance from the centre can be estimated. However, Vasic further complicated his equation, by introducing at least one more force operating upon the degeneration of objects on the periphery - the influence of deep substrate levels of the peripheral cultures.

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.
