Dragoslav Srejović (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгослав Срејовић; 8 October 1931 in Kragujevac – 29 November 1996) was a Serbian archaeologist, cultural anthropologist and historian. He was the main contributor to the exploration of the Lepenski Vir archaeological site.
Biography
Srejović had a broad range of interests, and his fields of research range from paleolithic and mesolithic sites in Yugoslavia, through the late Roman period, to Greco-Roman mythology. He was a prolific author, having published more than 200 papers, over 20 monographs and a dozen guides and catalogs. He became a subscribing member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1974, and a regular member in 1983, and later its vice-president.
Srejović was recipient of the October Award of City of Belgrade (1977) for his work on Lepenski Vir excavations, as well as the 7th July Award of the Socialist Republic of Serbia.
He was one of the very few openly gay public personalities in Serbia.
