==Anthropology== ===Drobnjaci=== The Karadžić brotherhood in Drobnjaci, according to tradition, ultimately descends from three brothers that lived prior to 1700 in Vasojevići, from where they migrated to Drobnjaci. Indeed, the ancestors of the Karadžići migrated from Lijeva Rijeka in Vasojevići in the mid-17th century. In 1930, there were 28 households of Karadžić in Petnjica, 3 in Malinsko, 3 in Gornja Bukovica, 5 in Pašina voda, and 19 in Palež. Anthropologist Andrija Luburić said that the Karadžić were "born with the gift of gusle playing". The Karadžić brotherhood in Drobnjaci has the slava (feast day) of Aranđelovdan (the slava of Vasojevići), while they have the prislava of Đurđevdan (the slava of Drobnjaci).
