巴尔干中部地区（位于今天的塞尔维亚）在旧石器时代中晚期（MP-UP）期间是一个潜在的动态区域，因为它位于假设的现代人类扩散路线和晚期尼安德特人的避难所之间。然而，由于塞尔维亚更新世晚期遗址的年代学数据有限，对该地区的人口历史仍然知之甚少。在这里，我们回顾了巴尔干中部及周边地区 MP-UP 的现有古人类学记录。然后，我们通过报告来自两个塞尔维亚洞穴遗址（Pegturina 和 Hadzi Prodanova）的放射性碳测年结果来补充这一点，其中包含旧石器时代中期和格拉维特时期的组合。结果提供了可靠的人类发生日期，早于现在的 39 ka 校准放射性碳年 (cal BP) 和 34 至 28 ka cal BP 之间。由于浅层重写沉积物产量低，这些遗址并不是建立年代文化地层学的理想环境。然而，有人认为39 ka BP之前的居住者是生产MP文物的尼安德特人，而34 ka BP之后的居住者是具有格拉维特传统的现代人类。
The Central Balkans, in present-day Serbia, was a potentially dynamic zone during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic (MP-UP), as it is situated between hypothesized dispersal routes of modern humans and refuges of late Neanderthals. However, the population history of the region remains poorly understood because there are lithe chronometric data from Late Pleistocene sites in Serbia. Here, we review the existing paleoanthropological record for the MP-UP in the Central Balkans and surrounding areas. Then, we add to it by reporting radiocarbon dates from two Serbian cave sites, Pegturina and Hadzi Prodanova, which contain Middle Paleolithic and Gravettian assemblages. The results provide reliable human occurrence-dates older than 39 ka calibrated radiocarbon years before present (cal BP) and between 34 and 28 ka cal BP. As shallow palimpsest deposits with low artifact yields, the sites are not ideal contexts for establishing chrono-cultural stratigraphy. However, it is proposed that the occupants before 39 ka cal BP were Neanderthals producing MP artifacts, while those after 34 ka cal BP were modern humans with Gravettian traditions.
