First women archeologists in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Abstract

Paola Korošec and Ružica Bižić are some of the first women archaeologists in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Although their activity in the field of archaeology in Bosnia-Herzegovina was relatively short, they are significant as the founders of so-called women archaeology in this country. Paola Korošec was primarily interested in medieval archaeology in Bosnia-Herzegovina, while Ružica Bižić focused on prehistoric archaeology. Along with necessary biographical information, this article briefly presents the works of these two scholars related to archaeology in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
