Revealing the "hidden" Pannonian and Central Balkan Mesolithic: new radiocarbon evidence from Serbia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
With the exception of the well known Mesolithic sites in the Danube Gorges (or the Iron Gates), the wider areas of the Central Balkans and southern fringes of the Great Pannonian Plain still represent a terra incognita ...
Review of the most significant caves in Montenegro
(Karst Research Inst ZRC SAZU, Postojna, 2021)
The most significant caves in Montenegro were distinguished in response to their physical-geographic, biological, archeological and morphometric characteristics (length and depth). Caves distribute in four distinctive ...
The Early Upper Paleolithic Site Crvenka-At, Serbia-The First Aurignacian Lowland Occupation Site in the Southern Carpathian Basin
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
The Carpathian Basin is a key region for understanding modern human expansion into western Eurasia during the Late Pleistocene because of numerous early hominid fossil find spots. However, the corresponding archeological ...
Connections between the Levant and the Balkans in the late Middle Pleistocene: Archaeological findings from Velika and Mala Balanica Caves (Serbia)
(ElsevierAcademic Press, 2022)
Major changes in the technological, economic, and social behavior of Middle Pleistocene hominins
occurred at the onset of the Middle Paleolithic, 400e200 ka. However, until recently it was not possible
to establish when, ...
Stressful times for women- Increased physiological stress in Neolithic females detected in tooth cementum
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2020)
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 ...
Crown Formation Times of Deciduous Teeth and Age at Death in Neolithic Newborns
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2021)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibility of estimating crown formation times of immature deciduous teeth and age at death in Neolithic newborns. In the Neolithic-Mesolithic transition, the health of ...
Low Prevalence of Lactase Persistence in Bronze Age Europe Indicates Ongoing Strong Selection over the Last 3,000 Years
(Cell Press, Cambridge, 2020)
Lactase persistence (LP), the continued expression of lactase into adulthood, is the most strongly selected single gene trait over the last 10,000 years in multiple human populations. It has been posited that the primary ...

(Cham : Springer, 2022)
esearch has shown that the territory present-day Serbia was continuously inhabited from the earliest prehistoric to historic times. Covering most of what is Serbia today, the Central Balkans acted as an important migration ...
Using Histological Staining Techniques to Improve Visualization and Interpretability of Tooth Cementum Annulation Analysis
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2021)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different staining techniques on applicability and accuracy of tooth cement tun annulation (TCA) method. Nine decalcination techniques, 8 dehydration protocols and ...
The Neolithic Demographic Transition in the Central Balkans: population dynamics reconstruction based on new radiocarbon evidence
(Royal Society Publishing, 2021)
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 ...
