The article publishes children's burials, investigated in 2007 and 2009. in Kerch, on the site of the Bosporan necropolis in the Bosphorus Lane. Ordinary townspeople were buried in the necropolis at the end of the 6th-8th centuries. Children, as well as adults, were buried in graves with slab-lined sides and covered with several slabs on top. In some graves, crosses are cut on the slabs. Many of the children's burials contain clothing accessories and jewelry worn during life. Bronze bells were found only in children's burials, intended to protect against evil forces
