In the process of establishing the Institute of Archaeology, the
role of Vladimir Petković turned out to be crucial. Starting in the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia and ending in the post-war Federal
People’s Republic of Yugoslavia, the process had a constant
which was contained in the idea and intention to organize and
coordinate archaeological research in Serbia under the umbrella
of a scientific institution. The initiation of the process, regarding
that, lasted a little more than ten years and had several
stages.

The Institute of Archaeology SAS, after its official establishment,
took over first the SAS tradition, and then also published
Starinar. Today, a hundred and forty years since publishing the
first archaeological magazine in Serbia, as part of the new series
of Starinar, the Institute of Archaeology proudly continues to
publish results of the archaeological works and other scientific
fields from Serbia and abroad.
