Tamara Blagojević
Tamara Blagojević works as a Research associate at the Center for Biosystems at the BioSense Institute, University of Novi Sad. She received a PhD in archaeology in 2022 at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy, Department of Archaeology. Her field of interest is mostly directed towards research on the European Neolithic, with a focus on southeastern Europe and different topics regarding population dynamics, settlement patterns, and human-environment interaction, as well as the application of different quantitative analyses in archaeology. She has a profound knowledge of the mechanisms of population dynamics and different approaches (both theoretical and methodological) to reconstructing population size through time.
Tamara Blagojević has been involved in several national and international scientific projects, one of them being the ERC-funded project BIRTH: Births, mothers and babies: Prehistoric fertility in the Balkans between 10000-5000 cal BC, from 2015 until 2020. She is currently a team member and a work package coordinator on the project MOVE: Moving across the plain: reconstructing the lifetime movements of farming pioneers and their successors during the Neolithic in the Southern Carpathian Basin, funded by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, program Prisma.
