Sažetak
Diet has a significant role in the organisation and evolution of human cultures. Information about the type of diet and dietary habits of ancient populations may be obtained from historical sources, by studying the animal and plant remains excavated on archaeological sites, by analysis of teeth and stable isotopes of human osteological material. Historical sources are often not preserved and therefore they are not suitable as the source of information for diet. The insufficient number of archaezoological and archaeobotanical analyses of Antique and Early Medieval period in Croatia does not completely allow the reconstruction of diet. Bioarchaeological studies focusing only on oral health and nutrition can generally be divided into those dealing with dentoalveolar pathologies and stable isotope analyses. In Croatia, the first analyses are more represented because they are simple macroscopic analyses that do not require special apparatus and the large amounts of money, nevertheless they provide an insight in dietary and hygienic habits of an archaeological population. In contrast, stable isotope analyses are less prevalent because they are mostly conducted in laboratories outside Croatia and are expensive. An overview of conducted stable nitrogen and carbon isotope analyses of Antique and Early Medieval skeletal remains from Croatia will be given in order to evaluate how obtained results contribute our knowledge of diet and dietary habits from these periods. Ongoing stable isotope analyses will also be mentioned.
