Sažetak
As part of bioarchaeology and paleopathology, trauma analysis is recognized as an important discipline. This analysis concentrates foremost on the identification and description of traumas, but consequently, it enables the interpretation of social, cultural, or environmental causes of traumatic injuries. It can also provide data on their correlation to sex, age, social or cultural systems, and temporal and geographical variation. For the purpose of this study, human osteological material from Ivanec – Stari grad site was analysed. Archaeological excavations were carried out by the Institute of Archaeology from 1998 until 2010 yielding around 320 graves in and around two churches. According to the findings and stratigraphy, graves can be dated from the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century until the beginning of the 17th century and are divided into several burial phases. So far 219 skeletons have been analysed, among which 72 males, 57 females, 88 subadults, one probable male, and one adult skeleton of undetermined sex. Trauma analysis was carried out on the crania and the postcranial skeleton where more than 75 % of the bone was present. Traumas were identified as antemortem or perimortem traumas, and according to their location on the skeleton, it was ascertained whether they were a result of intentional violence or accidental injury. Furthermore, the skeletons were assigned to specific burial phases to compare the frequency and distribution of trauma by chronological periods with the aim of linking them to political or social changes.
