Paleodontology in Bosnia and Herzegovina – History and Perspectives
Paleodontology in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) does not have a long tradition. As in many other countries, researches on earlier human population’s dental samples have been done within broader archeological or paleontological studies. Ćiro Truhelka, Radimsky Vaclav, Alojz Benac, Đuro Basler are some of the archeologists who described findings on human remains during their exploration of archeological sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well. Furthermore, V. Radimsky wrote instructions for archeological excavation in the caves, and protection and conservation procedures of founded material, including human remains in his book “Prehistorička nalazišta” (“Prehistorical Finds”), published in 1891 in Sarajevo, (1).
