Sažetak
The Late Bronze Age cemetery of Poljana Križevačka 2 is situated in continental Croatia. The use of cemetery, containing 50 cremation graves, is dated to the 13th and 12th century BC. The standard burial rite was placing the cremated remains in pots used as urns and covering them with bowls used as lids. However, five of the graves have a distinctly different ritual, with the remains deposited directly on the bottom of the grave pit and covered with a bowl turned upside down. Anthropological analysis of human skeletal remains will provide additional information that could explain differences in the burial ritual for these individuals. Data on age and sex of the deceased, as well as pathological changes, will be collected. Additionally, information about the funeral pyre will be assembled: temperature of firing, positioning of the body, collection and deposition of the remains. Comparison with other, “standard” burials, will define possible specific characteristics causing different burial ritual for some members of this community.
