Analysis of Human Skeletal Remains from Nadin Iron Age Burial Mound
Petra Rajić Šikanjić
Sažetak
This analysis attempts to reconstruct health, disease and life conditions of the population buried in Nadin, a burial
mound, situated in central Dalmatia, Croatia. The analyzed skeletal material belongs to Liburnian culture and could be
dated to early Iron Age, from 9th to 6th century B.C. The sample consists of a minimum number of 37 individuals, 7 children
and 30 adults. The frequency of all the observed conditions is relatively low. Cribra orbitalia was observed only in
females, the frequency of periosteal reaction on the tibiae is 26.1%. Two cases of cranial trauma were observed. Analyzed
teeth exhibit low prevalence of carious lesions, ante mortem tooth loss and linear enamel hypoplasia. The case of hyperostosis
frontalis interna on the endocranial surface of the frontal bone was observed. The affected skull belongs to the
older adult female.
