Stećak

Researcher Saša Čaval from the Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies has won the European Research Council Consolidator Grant for her project to research stećci, large medieval tombstones found across the Western Balkans.

"If you see a sword and a shield, that means that person was in the military," Andrea Markovic, who works at the institution that looks after the Radimlja necropolis, told BIRN.

"A bow and arrow meant that the person was an experienced hunter," Markovic added.
