BIOGRAPHY OF THE FIND OF “RITUAL GROUP” FROM MEDVEDNJAK

Summary/Abstract: The understanding of the ways in which institutions contribute, impede or divert the processes, and of the diverse aspirations and procedures of creating a formalized representation of the past, is intimately linked to the analysis of the practices of knowledge formation in the archaeological discipline. The case study of the group of artefacts defined as a “ritual group” from the Neolithic site Medvednjak near Smederevska Palanka, presents diverse ways in which conventions and practices of archaeological research, along with the products of fieldwork, field documentation, reports and data, become highly relevant in shaping the interpretation of the find and formation of archaeological knowledge.Tracing the history of the find from Medvednjak, the paper explores various aspects of formation of the biography of the find, informed by the actor-network theory.
