Sažetak
Children, as a component of ancient societies, actively participated in the social and everyday life of the community. Bioarchaeological research has confirmed that ancient societies were made up largely of those under 18 years of age, often accounting for more than 50% of the population. Therefore, past cultures cannot really be understood without considering children. This paper focuses on the burials of children from Late Bronze Age cemeteries in northern Croatia that are part of our project that analyses the mortuary practices and society in the southern Carpathian Basin. Using a combined approach, anthropological and archaeological data are brought together to enhance our understanding of the funerary practices provided to children in Late Bronze Age communities from northern Croatia. Comparing burial features and associated artefacts with age categories will help us search for regularities and discrepancies linked to children. Interestingly, in the majority of cases children were buried singly. This research on the burials of children attempts to demonstrate the amount of valuable information that can be gleaned about a whole population. Also, this sort of analysis will provide an opportunity for a better understanding of children and their role in Late Bronze Age societies from the southern Carpathian Basin.
