So, what was for dinner? Preliminary results of stable isotope analysis of selected samples from Privlaka-Gole njive site

Privlaka-Gole njive is a Late Avar-age cemetery located in the easternmost part of Croatia, in Western Srijem (part of former Roman province Panonnia Sirmiensis), at the southern end of Panonnian plain. Unfortunately, none of the discovered Avar age cemeteries in Croatia have been completely excavated, but during excavation 3 of the 4 edges of the cemetery in Privlaka were identified and an estimated 80 percent of the site was excavated.With 230 grave excavated, it remains largest Avar age burial site registered in Croatia to the date. Within the project Life on the Roman Road: communications, trade and identities on Roman roads in Croatia from 1st – 8th CE (UIP-05- 2017-9768) , stable isotope analyzes were performed, characterized as preliminary, on the bone remains of 22 deceased (approximately 10 percent of the population). With the selected samples, we tried to reflect the character of the community (gender, age, richness of grave finds). We were interested in whether there were any nutritional differences between the deceased with regard to the above characteristics, as well as similarly dated Avar communities nearby.
