SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON WOODLAND RESOURCE IN THE MEDIEVAL SERBIA AND BOSNIA
SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON WOODLAND RESOURCE IN THE MEDIEVAL SERBIA AND BOSNIA

Summary/Abstract: Despite the lack of direct documentary evidence, the paper points to diff erent possibilities in the historical environmental research in our historiography. It presents certain methodological steps which could, along with comparative approach, yield some new results in the historical knowledge of the Middle Ages. Th e starting point would be to reconsider the chronological boundaries of the research, which, by all its issues, belongs to the ‘long durée’ processes and must be treated as such. Both historical and anthropological evidence are used in order to reconstruct the traditional and innovative uses of woods in everyday life and industrial production.
