Digital natives
Background: Today's adolescents are immersed in a digital environment, with social networks central to their lives for entertainment, communication and getting information. Being online enables adolescents to share their daily experiences, opinions, emotions, attitudes and express their identity. Still, the displacement hypothesis suggests that time spent on media reduces the time available for other, offline activities (e.g., physical activity),…
Prapovijesno groblje daljske grupe Vukovar Lijeva Bara – paljevinski grobovi Ž27, Ž75, Ž79, Ž80 i Ž92
U radu se predstavlja bioarheološka analiza pet paljevinskih grobova iz prapovijesnoga groblja Vukovar Lijeva Bara koji pripadaju daljskoj grupi kasnoga brončanog i starijega željeznog doba rasprostranjenoj u srednjem Podunavlju. Grobovi se datiraju u II keramički horizont, odnosno prema rezultatima radiokarbonskoga datiranja spaljenih ostataka pokojnika u 9. st. pr. Kr. Keramički ansambli su lokalne produkcije, dok željezni nalazi fibule, perli …
Childhood in Batina at the end of the late bronze age and the beginning of the early iron age
Batina is a multi-layered site situated on a prominent position above the Danube on Bansko Brdo in Baranja. This site holds particular significance for understanding the broader picture of settlement in the Middle Danube region during the Late Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age, from the 11th to the 7th century BC. Numerous chance finds described in the literature are housed in nine different museums across Europe. Recent excavati…
Traces of Disease in Cremated Children’s Bones
Diseases are a constant of the human experience and have been affecting past populations of all periods, including those that practised cremation as a dominant burial rite. This paper focuses specifically on children’s health status in the Late Bronze and Iron Age (circa 1500–600 BC) inferred from the osteological analysis of cremated human remains. We have analysed skeletal material from four Croatian (Poljana Križevačka, Slatina, Batina and Sot…
Two Graves from Batina
The majority of the Early Iron Age cremation graves of women near the Middle Danube in northeast Croatia and northwest Serbia, in the cemeteries of Batina, Dalj, Vukovar, Sotin and Doroslovo, contained an urn, a set of ceramic vessels, and sometimes costume accessories and additional jewellery items, such as hair bands, pendants, or fibulae. The present paper uses interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation to examine the chronology of graves 1…
Death, Funerals and Mourning on the Croatian Islands During the Covid-19 Pandemic
On islands and in island communities, especially smaller and more isolated ones, epidemics were often of greater intensity and left more significant consequences than on the mainland. The unique characteristics of an island (size, remoteness, isolation, small population size, and several manageable access points) affect the transmission of mainland epidemics and their frequency. The current global COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to investigat…
The potential of forgotten and hidden Zagreb historical cemeteries in the design of ‘dark’ tourist experiences
On the territory of modern Zagreb, Croatia, several locations of historical cemeteries exist without visible markers of remains on the surface. Although forgotten and hidden, they are undetectably integrated into city’s everyday life. This paper aims to identify specific requirements and challenges in the design of ‘dark’ tourist experiences using the setting of such hidden Zagreb historical cemeteries. The main instrument used to shape a tourist…
Plačimo, plačimo u tišini, umrimo, umrimo u samoći”
Smrt je kao dio svakodnevnog života u vrijeme pandemije češća i prisutnija, čime su njezina percepcija i doživljaj znatno intenzivniji. Tijekom pandemije bolesti COVID-19 smrt je zbog svakodnevnih izvještaja o broju umrlih, njihovoj dobi, spolu i mjestu gdje su preminuli postala masovna i vidljivija, ušla je u našu svakodnevicu. Brojni su izazovi koji prate proces umiranja, suočavanja sa smrću i tugovanjem tijekom pandemije. Službene protuepidemi…

Diet, sex, and social status in the Late Avar period
Diet often plays a vital role in defining social divisions within and between social groups and thus can be used to understand the social paradigms of archeological cultures. During the Early Avar period (568-630 A.D.), burial evidence indicates that there were strong demarcations of social stratification and divisions between sexes and age groups; however, the symbols of intra-population heterogeneity become increasingly rare during the Late Ava…
Juvenile scurvy from Late Medieval Knin, Croatia
Rib anomalies in a Neolithic period skeleton from Croatia
Congenital anomalies develop during intrauterine development. They can occur in soft tissues as well as skeletal elements and vary from minor to life threatening. In this paper we present a case of an individual from the Neolithic site of Vinka, Croatia. This adult male exhibited multiple congenital anomalies on cranial and postcranial skeleton. These include several rib anomalies on the right side: hyperplasia of the third rib, bifid fourth rib …
A case of Avar period trepanation from Croatia
The Avar period cemetery of Nuštar, situated in continental Croatia, is dated to the 8th and the beginning of the 9th century. Rescue archaeological excavation yielded 196 burials. During analysis of human skeletal remains, an individual with a large cranial lesion caused by trepanation was found. Trepanation is a surgical procedure performed on the skull in order to remove a fragment of the bone using a sharp instrument or drill. It has been pra…

Dental health at the transition from the Late Antique to the early Medieval period on Croatia's eastern Adriatic coast
Dento-alveolar pathologies: caries, ante mortem tooth loss, abscesses, calculus, alveolar resorption and tooth wear were analysed in two composite skeletal series from Croatia's eastern Adriatic coast (Dalmatia). The first consists of 103 skeletons from seven Late Antique (3rd-6th century AD) sites, the second of 151 skeletons from three Early Medieval (7th-11th centuries AD) sites. As recent bioarhaeological studies (Šlaus,2008) showed a signifi…
Elongated styloid process in late medieval skeletons from Uzdolje-Grablje, Croatia
Analysis of skeletons from Uzdolje-Grablje cemetery near Knin, Croatia, reveals three cases of an elongated styloid process. Elongation is a condition of unknown aetiology characterised by a styloid process that exceeds 30 mm. Although the prevalence of this condition has been reported in modern populations, we document for the first time elongated styloid processes in human skeletal material from an archaeological population.

A case of short‐root anomaly in a female from medieval Istria
Dental examination of a young female skeleton from medieval Istria revealed very short‐roots of both maxillary central incisors. This developmental pathological condition is known in the literature as short‐root anomaly, occurring mostly in maxillary incisors. In affected teeth, the crown:root ratio is 1:1.6. Although the prevalence of this condition has been reported in modern populations, this appears to be the first documented case of the anom…
The role of Southeastern Europe (SEE) in origins and diffusion of major paternal lineages
The aim of this study is to explore the existing data based on high-resolution phylogenetic studies of Y chromosome variation in populations from Southeastern Europe and elsewhere in Eurasia in order to evaluate the role of the region in the process of the prehistoric colonization of the European continent and the structuring of the modern paternal genetic pool. Even though the distribution and estimated range expansions of major paternal lineage…
