Abstract:

Human remains from the sarcophagus in the Tumulus II on the Planinica Hill have been analysed in the laboratory of the Department of Archaeology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb. Due to the severe fragmentation and post-mortem damage of the whole sample it was not possible to re-individualise each skeleton; instead, a minimum number of 7 individuals (MNI) buried in the tumulus were assessed. Analysis of the bones belonging to the adult individuals showed that they fell between the ages of 16 and 20 years old, for the youngest, while the oldest individual was probably between 50 and 60 years old
