Sažetak
An Early Medieval cemetery dated to the Avar period was found at the site of Jagodnjak- Krčevine-Selska Bara in Baranja, Croatia. The excavated part of the cemetery includes thirty-six graves, most of which were located within three spatial groups, while six individual graves were scattered around the investigated area. The grave goods (parts of attire, jewellery, tools) and the burial rite show similarities with other sites excavated throughout the Carpathian Basin during the aforementioned period. Bioarchaeological analyses, among other things, show a relatively high subadult mortality, and, on the other hand, an unusually long life-span of adults, whose diet was largely based on cereals. The archaeological and bioarchaeological analyses presented in this paper depict a typical Early Medieval agricultural community that resided in Jagodnjak from the end of 6th until the mid-9th century and was very similar to its neighbours in numerous aspects of everyday life.
