ABSTRACT
Gomolava, in Yugoslavia, is a dwelling mound on the left bank of the river Sava near Hrtkovci, a small village about 60 km northwest from Belgrade. After trial excavations during the fifties, it was decided in 1970 to excavate the tell, as systematically as possible, in its entirety. The location of Gomolava along the outside bend of the river Sava, has largely contributed to this decision. Staff-members if the Biologisch-Archaeologisch Instituut at Groningen take part in the Gomolava-excavations in pursuance of a cooperation between this institute and the Voj-vodjanski Muzej, as provided for in the Yugo-slav-Dutch Cultural Treaty. In a mollusc diagram the number of molluscs per ecological group or per family or genus may be presented in terms of either absolute or relative abundance. Both methods of presentation have their pros and cons.
