“…During the excavations, a skeletal burial of a child was discovered under one of the houses (SU 322). The skeleton was in a crouched position on its left side, and its orientation was north-south (Nikitović et al 2012). This kind of burial was previously recorded in settlements of the Baden culture (Čataj 2009 (Nikitović et al 2012).…”

“…On the question of anthropological analyses of Copper Age finds from continental Croatia, so far the following has been published: analyses of skeletal remains from the eponymous site of the Vučedol culture (Teschler-Nicola & Berner 1994;Šlaus 2002;Hincak et al 2007;2013), burials from the Nama site in Vinkovci that belongs to the same culture (Hincak et al 2007), a child burial from Josipovac-Gravinjak (Nikitović et al 2012), human skeletal remains from Franjevac near Đakovo (Janković & Rajić Šikanjić 2011), Beli Manastir-Popova zemlja (Andrades Valtueña et al 2017;Mathieson et al 2018), as well as some skeletal finds from the mass grave from Potočani (Janković et al 2017;Novak et al, in print).…”

“…Tijekom istraživanja, pod jednom od kuća (SJ 322) pronađen je kosturni ukop djeteta. Kostur je pronađen u zgrčenom položaju, na lijevoj strani, orijentiran u smjeru sjever-jug (Nikitović et al 2012). Ovakav način ukopavanja i ranije je zamijećen u naseljima badenske kulture (Čataj 2009.…”

“…The skeleton was in a crouched position on its left side, and its orientation was north-south (Nikitović et al 2012). This kind of burial was previously recorded in settlements of the Baden culture (Čataj 2009 (Nikitović et al 2012). Age analyses were conducted based on tooth growth and development, and suggest that the child died at the age of between 7.5 and 8.5, although the analyses of skeletal remains suggested a somewhat younger age (between 4.5 and 6 years; for more detailed results, see Nikitović et al 2012).…”

Bioarheološke analize su tijekom posljednja dva desetljeća postale standardnim dijelom znanstvenih analiza arheoloških nalazišta na prostoru Hrvatske. Nažalost, raniji istraživači, posebice sve do pred kraj osamdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, ljudske su kosturne ostatke u najboljem slučaju skupili i pohranili u depoe te u većini slučajeva nedostaju podaci o cjelinama, kontekstu nalaza i dr., što danas znatno otežava mogućnost znanstvenih analiza. Tek su u rijetkim slučajevima na materijalu provedene antropološke analize nalaza (za detaljniji pregled bioarheoloških istraživanja na području Hrvatske vidi Rajić Šikanjić 2005.). Nadalje, bioarheolozi ponekad u terenskim dnevnicima, ili objavama istraživanja nalaze podatke u kojima se spominju i koštani ostaci, da bi nakon toga ustanovili da su oni tijekom godina netragom nestali. Srećom, stav suvremenih arheologa prema antropološkoj građi danas je drugačiji i pokazuje svijest o tome da nam ljudski ostaci (kao i ostale vrste biološke i druge građe iz arheološkog konteksta) mogu pružiti vrijedne podatke u interpretaciji minulih događaja, načina života, socijalne strukture, odnosa u zajednici, zdravstvenog stanja i dr. Nadalje, sve su češće i analize koje osim standardnih bioarheoloških metoda i tehnika, koriste i suvremena pomagala, metode i tehnike drugih znanosti-poput radiologije, kemijskih i genetičkih/genomičkih analiza i dr. Sve to je rezultiralo mnogim novim spoznajama i novim uvidima u prošlost.

This paper presents pathological changes indicative of type II Klippel-Feil syndrome identified in the skeleton of a child uncovered in one of the oldest Christian churches in Poland (first half of the 11th century) with the archaeological layer containing the burial dated to the 13th-15th centuries. The age at death of the child was estimated at 9 to 10 years. The third and fourth cervical vertebrae of this individual were fused asymmetrically, leading to torticollis. The apex of the dens axis (odontoid process) was V-shaped, which is consistent with clinical descriptions of ossiculum terminale. The laminae of the second sacral vertebra were found to be fused but positioned asymmetrically with respect to one another, while the laminae of the third and fourth vertebrae were hypoplastic, suggesting spina bifida of the sacrum. This configuration of anomalies is symptomatic of type II Klippel-Feil syndrome. In addition, the studied individual revealed heterotopic ossification on the supinator crest of the ulna, which may have arisen as a result of dislocation of the elbow joint.

This paper aggregates and summarizes studies that use paleoradiology techniques in the analysis of pediatric remains. Building on these findings, we offer evidence-based, best-practice protocols for the use of radiographic techniques in the assessment of pediatric remains from archaeological contexts. We also provide a recommended reporting worksheet for recording findings in a standardized way. After reviewing studies of pediatric remains that used radiographic techniques, with a focus on three major bioarchaeological journals, PubMed, and the Yearbook of Mummy Studies, we identified areas for improvement in the acquisition and reporting of paleoradio-
