Social landscapes as multicultural spaces: stećci in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Čaval, S. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9337-3951 (2021) Social landscapes as multicultural spaces: stećci in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Antiquity, 95 (380). e11. ISSN 0003-598X doi: 10.15184/aqy.2021.24

Abstract/Summary

Stećci are medieval tombstones. Scattered across the landscapes of the Western Balkans in their thousands, they amalgamate the historical, cultural and religious components of medieval societies in the region, and are expressions of identity, social systems, politics and religious belief. Through these monuments, a diverse spectrum of identities was enunciated, providing us with a rare opportunity to investigate the archaeo-historic development of medieval South-eastern Europe.
