Only approx. 8% stećci have various decorations form low relief, while less than 400 also bear inscriptions. Climate influences often cause erosion these engravings, which makes them increasingly difficult to detect and identify.

Almost 1000 coffins and urns, dating between the 1800s-1990s, were excavated, recorded and then reburied in new graves in the cemetery. Death in modern cemeteries is normally successfully conce...

We present a dynamic programming-based solution to the problem of maximizing the probability of attaining a target set before hitting a cemetery set for a discrete-time Markov control process. Under mild hypotheses we establish that there exists a deterministic stationary policy that achieves the maximum value of this probability. We demonstrate how the maximization of this probability can be c...

The existence of a Byzantine church north of Tell Hesbh was confirmed by a sounding done in 1976 as part of the Andrews University Expedition.
