Life and death during the Neolithic at the edge of the Pannonian Plain: Bioarchaeology of human skeletal remains from Beli Manastir-Popova zemlja, Croatia
Rescue archaeological excavations conducted in 2014 and 2015 at Beli Manastir-Popova zemlja site in eastern Croatia revealed numerous archaeological strata mostly dated to early/middle Neolithic Starčevo and Sopot cultures (ca 5700-4700 cal BCE). Among other features, a large settlement with human burials was excavated. The paper presents the results of conventional bioarchaeological analysis conducted on skeletal and dental remains belonging to 39 individuals buried within the settlement. The sample is characterised by high prevalence of cribra orbitalia (33.3%) and numerous cases of periosteal new bone formation in children. The frequency and distribution of dento-alveolar pathologies (caries 7.9%, AMTL 3.8%) strongly suggests a typical agricultural population with a subsistence mostly based on cereals. Additionally, only a few recorded skeletal injuries indicate a low level of interpersonal violence in this community. Nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes and ancient DNA analyses that are in progress will provide more information on diet and subsistence but also population structure and affinity of the people inhabiting southern edges of the Pannonian Plain during the Neolithic period.
