PhD candidate Sarah Martini publishes chapter on the Neolithic of Serbia

PhD candidate Sarah Joy Martini recently co-authored a chapter in collaboration with an international team of researchers from Serbia, Germany, and Poland in Project Borđoš – Ten Years of Research, a volume compiling interdisciplinary archaeological research at and around the Late Neolithic site of Borđoš in the Tisza River Vally, Serbia. The chapter summarizes the results of archaeological excavations, surface and sub-surface surveys, and radiocarbon dating to present a model of the growth and occupation of the site. The previously largely unknown multi-component “centripetal” settlements of this type are the result of regional population concentrations, causing changed interactions of people with their environmental surroundings, and may have been the prototype for well-known sites of this type east of the Carpathians.
