Laboratory for Bioarchaeology
The Laboratory
The Laboratory for Bioarchaeology, founded in 2008 at the University of Belgrade’s Department of Archaeology, focuses on teaching and research. It specializes in physical anthropology, archaeozoology, and archaeobotany, analyzing human and animal remains. The lab collaborates on DNA, isotope, and lipid analysis, and maintains Palaeoanthropological and Archaeozoological reference collections.
The staff
The Laboratory staff have conducted bioarchaeological analyses on numerous sites and collections, mainly in Serbia and also in neighboring countries. Their research spans from prehistoric to late medieval times and includes major projects funded by European and national scientific funds, such as BEAN, PREFERT, BIRTH, Bioarchaeology of Ancient Europe, ARCHAEOWILD, and NEEMO, along with various smaller projects and collaborations.
The researchers
The Laboratory researchers are enthusiastic about creating and taking part in projects related to the wider community, as they believe that science can greatly contribute to the development of society. They organize workshops for children and youth, exibitions, take part in cultural manifestations like “Night of museums” and “Days of discoveries”, as well as various minor projects in which archaeology is utilised as a tool for developing scientific literacy among students.
