Sažetak

Bioarchaeological investigations of indicators of subadult stress, oral health, physical stress and trauma were conducted on the skeletal material from the kuća Andrić and Hrvojeva ulica sites, late antique cemeteries situated in the Diocletian Palace in Split. These indicators include several pathological conditions: cribra orbitalia, dental enamel hypoplasia, non-specific periostitis, caries,
alveolar abscess, antemortem tooth loss, vertebral and joint osteoarthritis, Schmorl’s nodes and traumas. The sample includes 33 skeletons from 17 graves – 12 adults and 21 subadults. Results indicate a higher ratio of subadults in the sample, relatively low frequencies of indicators of subadult stress, caries, and trauma and a higher frequency of alveolar bone disease and Schmorl’s nodes, especially in males. In comparison to other late antique samples from the eastern Adriatic coast, the sample from the kuća Andrić and Hrvojeva ulica shows similar or even better-living conditions in some aspects.
