И поред великог научног значаја ове врсте наслеђа, третман скелета у музејима је генерално лош; због неадекватне препарације, чувања и документације често долази до оштећења и нестанка материјала, при чему се губе драгоцени подаци о популацијама из прошлости. Такође, због малих капацитета депоа, неселективно "шкартирање" скелета је честа пракса. Главни проблем, међутим, лежи у недостатку законских регулатива и специфичних музејских политика, које би јасно дефинисале третман људских скелетних остатака и надлежности. У раду представљамо главне проблеме и дајемо смернице за потенцијална решења.

Comparisons of genomes of early domestic cattle to their aurochs progenitors identify diverse origins with separate introgressions of wild stock. A later region-wide Bronze Age shift indicates rapid and widespread introgression of zebu, Bos indicus, from the Indus Valley. This process was likely stimulated at the onset of the current geological age, ~4.2 thousand years ago, by a widespread multicentury drought. In contrast to genome-wide admixture, mitochondrial DNA stasis supports that this introgression was male-driven, suggesting that selection of arid-adapted zebu bulls enhanced herd survival. This human-mediated migration of zebu-derived genetics has continued through millennia, altering tropical herding on each continent.

The objects have been studied in terms of their raw material, morphology, type of preservation and fragmentation, and traces of manufacture and use. These new finds indicate that the apparent absence of exotic goods in the central Balkans south of the Danube might be the result of insufficient study or overseeing of the material. This paper provides a new insight into the
distribution of prestige items across the central Balkans, which may contribute to further discussions of complex issues of exchange of valuables across continental Europe.

Over the excavation season, the eastern edge of the Neolithic settlement was investigated. The large size of the excavated area (2400 m2) offered an opportunity to examine the complex horizontal and vertical stratigraphy. The investigations revealed that Pavlovac-Gumnište is a multi-layered Neolithic site composed of a Starčevo culture layer and at least two subsequent Vinča culture occupation horizons.

We present one such specific, pathological change − a case of spavin in a red deer specimen from the Early Neolithic site of Blagotin, in central Serbia. The left tarsal joint presented proliferative new bone formation, which was analyzed macroscopically, then subjected to X-ray and computed tomography (CT) imaging. We assume that the initial degenerative changes in this red deer tarsal joint were probably caused by ageing, although the environment may have likely contributed to the progression of the disorder. Spavin usually results in stiffness of the joints and in lameness, perhaps contributing in the animal’s capture by Neolithic hunters. This case is important in that it demonstrates that spavin is not necessarily a consequence of riding or traction work.

Furthermore, a large body of environmental data has been generated and the full data set will be included in the SEAD environmental archaeological database. This will enable the Dilling site to be put into a wider prehistoric settlement context. Case studies like these contribute to a better understanding of social dynamics and interaction of past agrarian communities. Moreover, we can provide valuable information about everyday life activities, survival strategies, social relationships, etc.
