Sažetak
An anthropological analysis was carried out on 11 skeletons – six adult male skeletons, one adult female skeleton and four subadults. The results of the analysis were compared with the sample from Relja site, given the latter’s identical geographical location and climate-environmental system. Compared with the Relja sample, the analyses results showed that the individuals buried in Glagoljaška Street had been of poorer health in all categories – primarily a consequence of bad nourishment and hard living conditions, which are particularly reflected in the high frequency of biological stress indicators, dental health and hard labor. The traumas observed on the males were mostly caused by accidents, while signs of interpersonal violence were not noticed. Based on the criteria observed and in accordance with the archaeologists’ line of thought, it can be concluded it was indeed an isolated group of people who led a different (lower-quality) way of life and had different burials after death.
