Abstract

While conducting ethnographic field research for the project "Ethno-medical investigations in Eastern Serbia”, in the period between 1985-1989, we collected also numerous data on amulets and their use in folk medical treatments. In this paper we present some of them, covering especially data from the Timočka Krajina regiona (north-eastern Serbia). We have classified the amulets according to the material they are made of, techniques used in their making, as well as according to the variety of shapes and uses.
