A brief overview of recent research activities in paleodontology in Croatia

Research activities in paleodontology in Croatia mirrored more or less research activities in physical anthropology. First physical anthropology investigations in Croatia are evidenced in the middle of the 20th century. The first report by a Croatian osteologist - Franjo Ivaniček was published in 1951. He examined sex, age and metric characteristics of skeletons from medieval town Ptuj in Slovenia. In the late sixties Georgina Pilarić and Ilse Schwidetzky examined cranial typology in an attempt to explain the origins and migrations of early medieval Croat populations. In the beginning of bioarcheology in Croatia teeth and mouth were not often in a focus of research interests. Today, we use research protocols based on internationally standards, providing reliable and comparable results. Additionally, examination of teeth and mouth is now included in almost each bioarchaeological research as it will be presented in the lecture.
