Teorijsko-metodološke osnove u delu Fanule Papazoglu: arheološka perspektiva
Theoretical-Methodological Foundations of Fanula Papazoglu’s Work: An Archaeological Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The scientific work of Fanula Papazoglu testifies about the unique flow of ideas between several disciplines in Yugoslav and Serbian archaeology. Foremost of all, the overarching receptiveness of the Paleo-Balkan tribe narrative has its roots in the research of ancient history. Such may be demonstrated by Fanula Papazoglu becoming one of the leading researchers in the field. Significant due to the powerful aberration of her theoretical perspectives in relation to her respective context, she explicated her own theoretical and methodological approaches. Her theoretical orientation was regressive in relation to the international trends of the time, which is evident in her book, “The Central Balkan Tribes in pre-Roman Times (1969). In this work, she applied the postulates of unilineal evolutionism, typical for the state of the sciences in the XIX century. She herself thereby formulated a narrative of “Paleo-Balkan tribes”, establishing this notion based on obsolete postulates, which have endured until the present day and are still considered to be a reputable source rather than a mere outdated interpretation.
