Branka Raunig (1 January 1935 - 13 June 2008) was a Bosnian archaeologist, prehistorian and museum curator.
Raunig was born in Sarajevo on 1 January 1935. [1] Her early life was spent in Kraljevo. [2] From 1954 to 1958 she studied archaeology at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Belgrade. [2] One of her tutors was Branko Gavela. [2]
After graduation, Raunig moved to Bosnia Herzegovina, where she was employed at Pounje Museum in Bihać. [2] It was working there, on the archaeological material relating to the Japodi, that a lifelong academic interest began. [2] [3] In 1963, Raunig moved to Museum of the Đakovo Region where she continued her work on the Japodi, with a focus on the Pounje area. [2] Material from that region became the subject of her Masters dissertation, which she was awarded in 1971. [2] From 1987 Raunig was director of the Pounje Museum, until her retirement in 1998. [2] In 1992 she defended and was subsequently awarded a PhD on the art and religion of the Japodi tribe. [4]
During her career she led excavations and published widely on a number of important sites in the region, including: Crkvina Golubić, Vranduk, Pod, Gradina and Sojeničko and a site near Gradiška. [2] She studied the funerary archaeology at Đakovo and was instrumental in recognising the presence of a Roman site there. [5] [6] She also supervised excavations which discovered a mosque there. [7] Raunig was interested in many aspects of material cultures and made a study of ceramic material at the important site of Krčana where La Tene pottery was excavated. [8] She studied prehistoric weapons excavated in the region. [9] Whilst Raunig's main interest lay with Bosnian prehistory, she also worked on medieval sites. [10]
