BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE STRBINCI SKELETAL SERIES

Mario Šlaus

Abstract

Osteological data from 26 skeletons recovered during systematic excavations of the Late Antique Strbinci cemetery provide insight into health, disease, and stress levels in Late Antique continental Croatia. The sample consists of 9 subadults and 1 7 adults (8 female and 9 males). The average age at death of adults (males-39.3; females-35.5) is roughly comparable to other Late Antique series such as those recovered from Linz (Austria), Tokod (Hungary) and Split. The series is characterized by high frequencies of subadult stress, de­velopmental anomalies and differential male/female activity patterns.
