(Avtor) Bronze AgeNecropoliscavedietmilletchildhood healthAlmost immediately upon its discovery in 1965, the Middle-Late Bronze Age cave site of Bezdanjača was recognized as one of the earliest, largest, and most important cemeteries in the Lika region of Croatia. Yet, despite its significance, not much is known about the people who were buried there. By combining bioarchaeological and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of a subset of the burial population, this study aims to (i) systematically reconstruct the diet and health of these individuals, (ii) investigate possible differences in dietary habits within this community based on sex and age, and (iii) contextualize results from Bezdanjača with other Bronze Age assemblages from the surrounding area.20262026-04-01 09:31:29Članek v reviji22876UDK: 572"637"ISSN pri članku: 2352-4103DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2026.105727COBISS.SI-ID: 273820419sl
