INTRODUCTION: A BRIEF HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OFPHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY IN CROATIA
The beginnings ofbioarchaeological research in Croatia are related to the palaeoanthropological
studies carried out by Dragutin Gorjanovi6 Kramberger at the end of the 19th and the begin-
ning of the 20th century (Gorjanovi6-Kramberger 1899, 1906, 1913). His analysis of the
Neanderthal skeletal material recovered from Huinjakovo brdo near Krapina significantly con-
tributed to the acceptance of the existence of fossil man, and thus, to the acceptance of the
concept of the evolution of mankind. Go{anovi6's multidisciplinary analysis of human, animal
and stone artefacts recovered from Krapina were crucial, not only for the reconstruction of the
anatomical fearures and the qualiry of life of the Neanderthal inhabitants of Croatia, but they
also provided clues to sorne social characteristics of Neanderthal sociery. These analyses were
part of the foundations of modem palaeoanthropology.
Bioarchaeological analyses of modem man in Croatia began after the Second World War
with rwo major publications by Franjo Ivaniiek. In these works Ivaniiek presented the results
of detailed palaeodemographic and craniometric analyses of the mediaevai sites of Bijelo Brdo
(Ivani6ek 1949) and Ptuj (Ivaniiek 1951). Unfortunately these studies, although in many
respects ahead of their time (for instance the anthropological analysis of the 11th-13th-century
Bijelo Brdo site incorporated the results of animal bone and pollen analysis), were not noticed
by the intemational scientific communiry, possibly because of the fact that they were written in
Croatian. Twenty years later, Ivanitek's student Georgina Pilari6 published several papers that
focused on the craniometric characteristics of early mediaeval Croat populations (Pilari6 1967,
1,968, 1969, 1974 P:Jrant and Schwidetzky 1987).
A major qualitative and quantitative leap forward in Croatian physical anthropology and
bioarchaeology began in the 1990s. It was enabled through the work of rwo extraordinary sci-
entisrs: Pavao Rudan and Hubert Maver, who in 1977 founded both the Croatian Anthro-
pological Sociery (Hrvatsko antropoloiko druiwo), and the scientific joumal Collegiunr
Antropologirunr. They organized nunlerous intemational scientific workshops including anlong
thern the annually held School of Biological Anthropology. Their work led to the founding ofthe first scientific and educational institution dedicated exclusively to anthropological research in
Croatia: the Institute of Anthropology in Zagreb, established in 1'992.

Mario Slaus et al'
Today, bioarchaeological and physical anthropological analyses are perfomred in numerous
Croatian scientific centres of excellence: the Institute of Anthropology, Department of
Archaeology at the Univenity of Zagreb: the Institute for Archaeology inZagreb; the Depart-
ment of Pathology and Forensic Medicine at the (Jniversiry of Split; the Department of Dental
Anthropology at the School of Dental Medicine, Univenity of zageb; and the Department of
Archaeology at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The results of the research under-
taken by these institutions are published in intemational peer-reviewed joumals of the highest
qualiry, such as the Ameican Journal of Physical Anthropology, Homo, International Journal oJ
ortroarrlraeology and the Journal of Forensic sciences. Scientists actively engaged in this field of
science in Croatia tod"iy "r.' 2. Flraii, J' Boljundi6, H' Brki6' Z' Hincak' I' Jankovi6'
M. Novak, P. Raji6 Sikaryi6, M. Shus, M. Vodanovi6, and V' Vyroubal'
Besides the tireless work of Pavao Rudan and Hubert Maver, additional impetus to
the development of bioarchaeology in croatia was given by the establishment of three under-
graduate and lwo postgraduate .o,rrr", in bioarchaeology at the universities of Zagreb and
2adar, andthe founding of the osteological collection of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and
Arts. Readen inrerested in a more detailed review of the history of physical anthropology/
bioarchaeology in Croatia can get a better appreciation of it in the works of Raji6 Sikanji6
(2005) and Shus (2006).
Physical anthropology/bioarchaeology in Croatia today
The leading centre of bioarchaeological research in Croatia today is the Department of Archae-
ology at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zageb where four scientists 12' neait,
V. Vyroubal, M. Novak and M. !hu$ are actively engaged in bioarchaeological studies of
cro"ti"r, archaeological populations. These researchen study a wide range of topics including
;;;;ttt iStnur-zooo, )ooz, zooe1, subadult stress (Slaus 2008a), infectious diseases (Slaus
ZOOO;"Shur'".rd Novak 2007), dental pathology (Shus 2002; Vodanovi6 et al' 2005) and bone
rrauma (Shus 2008a; Slaus and Novak 2006). A list of the archaeological sites in Croatia at which
anthropological/bioarchaeological studies have been carried out is presented in Table 9'1'
Skeletal collections and databases
The osteological collection of the Departrnent of Archaeology at the Croatian Academy of Arts
and Sciences in Zagreb is the largest collection of human skeletal material in Croatia' It cur-
rently holds skeletal material from more rhan 37 archaeological sites in Croatia dating from
approximately 8,000 yean BC ro the eighteenth century ao. with a total number of over 5'500
skeletons. The collection holds approximately 150 skeletons dated to the prehistoric period'
600 skeletons frorn the Antique p.tioa, over 3,000 skeletons frorn the mediaeval period' and
1,750 skeletons ftom the Historic/Modem Age period. The numben are approximations
because the collection is growing, both through the addition of skeletons from newly dis-
covered sites, and through the addition of skeletons frorn systematic excavations that have' in
some cases, continued for over ten years.
In the osteological laboratory of the same department, skeletal material is processed through
strictly defined p.ocedures. Fint, the bones are cleaned under running water with soft brushes,
dried, numerated and when necessary and possible reconstructed' Following this a complete
inventory of all present bones, joint surfaces and teeth is made for each skeleton' After that'
each individual skeleton i, ,."eJ, aged, and the available pathological and trauma data are col-
lected and detailed taphonomic data are recorded, as is the potential Presence of associated

archaeological material or animal remains. Finally anthropometric and craniometric data are
recorded.
Skeletal material may be sent for additional analyses (x-ray, DNA, CT, stable isotope analysis,etc.) to other institutions in Croatia, or other parts of the world if required. Once the analysis is
completed, all bones are stored in individually marked boxes in the osteological collection ofthe Department of Archaeology of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences.
87
Mario Slaus et al.
Apart from the Department of Archaeology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts,
bioarchaeological analyses are also conducted at the Institute of Anthropology in Zagreb by
P. Raji6 Sikanji6; rhe Institute of Archaeology in Zagreb (J. Boljunii6); the Department ofArchaeology, Faculry of Philosophy, Univeniry of Zagreb (Z,. Hincak); and the DePartment ofDental Anthropology, School of Dental Medicine, Universiry of Zagreb (H. Brki6 and
M. Vodanovi6).In terms of the populariry, interest from the general public and from the media for the results
of bioarchaeological research, the situation in Croatia is specific. The high qualiry of the workundertaken by Croatian physical anthropologists in the identification and analysis of the cause ofdeath of civilian victims of the 1991 war that followed the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia
has highlighted both the importance of physical - in this context forensic - anthropology, and
the importance of developing an osteological database.
The 1991 conflict bewveen Croatia and Serbia caused extensive material destruction and loss
of life. From 7991 to 1995 there were nore than 14,000 war-related deaths in Croatia. Among
these were a large number of civilians whose remains were subsequently recovered from 143
mass graves and a large number of individual inhumations. To identfy and determine the cause
of death of these individuals, a joint USA-Croatia forensic anthropology project was developed.
In this project, forensic anthropologists from the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts
(Hrwatske akademije znanosti i umjetnosti), and the Department of Forensic Medicine at the
School of Medicine, Univeniry of Zagreb, together with forensic anthropologists from the
Smithsonian Institution, 'W'ashington DC, and the Univeniry of Tennessee in Knoxville,
developed a forensic anthropology database in which data were collected on age, sex, stature,
metric characteristics, osteological and dental pathology, and on peri-nortem trauna and pos-
sible cause of death. The pulpose of this database, modelled on the forensic database developed
at the lJniversity of Tennessee, has been to:
1 Identify a basic and standard set of measurements, observations and definitions to ensure that
data are comparable;
2 Store the data in a computer in such a way that particular subsets can be quickly accessed;
3 Provide up-to-date discriminant formulae for detemining sex, estimating stature, and
defining other traits useful for comparative research and forensic analysis.
The fomration of this database has contributed to the high frequency of positive identifica-
rions of civilian victims of the 1991 conflict (55.7%), and has educated the Croatian public and
media on the type of data that physical anthropological research can yield. This has carried on
to bioarchaeological research, with results frequently featuring on TV shows and in newspaper
articles.
An additional positive response following the formation of the forensic osteological database
was the increased interest ofscientists frorn related scientific fields, particularly archaeologists, for
the preservation and analysis of human skeletal material. The vast majoriry of Croatian archae-
ologists today are aware of the usefulness of bioarchaeological analysis for reconstructing the
living conditions and lifesryles of archaeological populations. However, because bioarchaeolo-
gical analyses of human skeletal material from archaeological sites in Croatia are not legally
required, physical anthropologists/bioarchaeologists still utilize every opportuniry (workshops,
lectures, science Gstivals, etc.) to emphasize the importance of these analyses. The result is that
virtually all human bones found in archaeological sites in Croatia today are analysed.
The downside of this significantly increased interest for bioarchaeological research is that the
large number of rescue archaeological excavations related to large state infrastructure projects
88
such as the construction of highways, coupled with the relatively small number of active
bioarchaeologists,/physical anthropologists in Croatia, means that physical anthropologists are
rarely able to stay on a site throughout its entire archaeological excavation. Bioarchaeologists
are present on an archaeological site usually at the invitation ofthe archaeologist, and generally
for a short period of time. This sometimes causes problems in terms of the recovery of the less
well preserved skeletal remains. Apart from preliminary analyses of sex and age, physical
anthropologists on archaeological sites assist in diflerentiating betlveen human and animal
remains, and berween archaeological and potential forensic cases.
There are several professional associations in Croatia in which bioarchaeologists/physical
anrhropologists actively participate. The most important is the Hrvatsko antropoloiko druitvo
(Croatian Anthropological Sociery), which is a part of the European Anthropologrcal Associa-
tion. This associarion assembles not only bioarchaeologists/physical anthropologists but also
experrs and scientists from all branches of anthropology. Beside this association, almost all
Croatian bioarchaeologists are active memben of the Hrvatsko arheoloiko dru5wo (Croatian
Archaeological fusociation), and actively participate in their annual congresses. The seat of the
Intemational Association for Paleodontology (IAPO) is at the Department of Dental Anthro-
pology, School of Dental Medicine, in Zagreb. This is an association that deals with the
research of the oral and dental health of ancient populations.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL HUMAN REMAINS AND LEGISLATION
There is no legislation that specifically regulates the excavation and treatment of human skeletal
material found in archaeological sites in Croatia. The fate of newly discovered human remains
in Croatia depends on the circumstances of theirdiscovery. When the remains are discovered in
archaeological excavations they are treated as any other archaeological finds. If human skeletal
material is found accidentally (for instance, during construction works), a tealn consisting offorensic experrs, physical anthropologists/bioarchaeologists and archaeologists is sent to the site
to deterrnine whether the discovered renains are from an archaeological context or represent a
forensic case. If the bones are considered to be a forensic case they are transported to the
parhology departments of a local hospital, or to the Departments of Forensic Medicine in
Zagreb, Split, RSeka or Osijek. When human bones are considered to be part of an archae-
ological context they are transported to the local museunl, or to one of the institutions in which
bioarchaeologists are active.
There is no regulation that determines when human remains are considered to be fi'om
archaeological contexts, and when they are considered to be part of a forensic investigation. A
general rule is that human skeletal remains dated to the end of the 19th century are usually
considered to be from archaeological contexts.
Because of atrocities committed during the Second World War and its immediate afterrnath,
mass graves with victims from this time period are sometines uncovered. Although there have
been several artemprs to develop a govemmental body that would holistically deai with these
remains, from identifying the number, age and sex of the victims, through possible positive
identification of some victims, to the reburial of the remains in one or several specific ceme-
teries, as yet nothing has transpired. At present, these remains are treated as forensic investiga-
tions in the sense that the remains are transported to and analysed in departments of forensic
medicine - usually the department in Zagreb.
As previously noted, there is also the possibiliry of uncovering individual or nass graves
related to the 1991 war in Croatia. In instances where there is any indication that this may
89
Mario Slaus et al.
be the case, the remains are handled by the 'Committee for Imprisoned and Missing Indivi-duals'. This govemmental body coordinates all procedures related to the recovery, rransporta-tion, storage and identification of these remains and treats them as forensic cases (Slaus er a/.
2007c).
Archaeological legislation
The'Law on the protection and preservation of cultural goods', adopted in 1999 and revised in2003, legally regulates archaeological research in the Republic of Croaria. Below are describedthe most important articles of this act that relate to archaeological excavations and the handlingof archaeological findings, including human skeleral material.
According to article 2 of the Croatian 'Law on the protection and preservation of culturalgoods', ctlltural goods include movable and imrnovable items of palaeontological, archae-ological, and anthropological significance. Consequently, human skeletal remains recoveredduring archaeological research are considered archaeological findings. Article 6 ofthe same lawcites the competent legal authorities responsible for the protection and proper handling ofarchaeological material found during excavations: conservation departments of the Ministry ofCulture, and the Zagreb City Bureau for the protection of monurnents of culture and thenatural heritage. Article 47 describes the conditions that need to be satisfied in order to getapproval for archaeological excavations:
... approval may be issued only to legal and physical persons that rneet the require-ments of qualification for the perfomance of such works, and if the necessary materialand technical resources to cary out the excavations, the conservation of sites,planning, and presentation ofsites and rhe findings are provided.
I-ar.u on the prtttectiou arrd preseruation of rulrural gttods, Article 47 (author's translation)
Article 68 defines the procedure employed when archaeological material is sent abroad:
.. ' it may be temporarily sent abroad for purposes of exhibition, expertise, analysis,implementation of procedures for the protection and preserwation, or other justifiablereasons, with the approval of the Croatian Ministry of Culture. The applicant for thetemporary export shall at the request of the Ministry of Culture give a guarantee incase of damage, destruction or theft of cultural goods in the fomr of cash deposit in a
bank in the full anount of the value of cultural goods, or sone other appropriateguarantee. The Minister of Culture prescribes conditions for the tentporary export ofcultural goods.
Laut ort the protectiort an.d preseruation oJculnrralgoods, Artide 68 (author's translation)
The 'Regulations for archaeological research', adopted in 2005, describe in more detail theprocedures for excavation, analysis, documentation and storage of archaeological material,including among them human skeletal material. Article 4 of the 'Regulations for archae-ological research' prescribes the measures that have to be taken before the start of the excava-tion, such as obtaining the approval of the conservation departments of the Minisrry of Culture,or the Zagreb Ciry Bureau for the protection of monuments of culture and nature. The samearticle cites which documents must be provided by the applicant for authorization: a form forspecific details on the director of rhe excavation; data on the fpe, merhodology, location,time, scope, content, and goals of the research; data on the manager and individuals involved in
90
Croatta
the work; and data on the storage place that will be used for the recovered archaeological
artefacts. Article 6 prescribes the necessary conditions that the professional manager of the
archaeological research nlust satisfy: he or she nrust be a citizetr of the Republic of Croatia, must
have a BA in archaeology, must have at least 12 mor"rths' experience in archaeological
excavations, and must have the approval of the Ministry of Culture. Article 10 prescribes the
technical requirements and equipment that the professional manager is required to provide.
Article 17 lays down the conditions that nrust be met if the material is to be exported outside
the country:
... exporting the sar-nples intended for analysis abroad is only possible with the
approval of the Ministry of Cultule and under the conditions prescribed by the Law
on the protection and preservation of cultural goods. A professional nanager nlust

Aricle 18 addresses the issue of the publication of the excavated and analysed material and
documentation.
HUMAN REMAINS AND LEGISLATTON
The above infomration indicates the most important legal regulations in Croatia concerning
issues of excavarion and the handling of archaeological findings, including among thenl
human skeletal material. So far, these legal provisions have worked well in Practice, and
there are no significar-rt negative experiences. This does not mean, however, that in the near
future the possibiliry of further elaboration of legal provisions that would better regulate the
treatnlent of hunran skeletal material lbund during archaeological excavations should be
ignored.Skeletal nraterial can be, and in fact almost routinely is, sent to other countries for additional
analyses. Skeletai sanrples are fiequently sent for C1+ dating (for instance to the Leibr-riz-Labor
fiir Altersbesrimmung und Isotopenforschung in Kiel, Geurauy, or to the Beta Analytic
Laboratory in Miami, USA). Bone and dental samples from the collection of the Department ofArchaeology of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts have also been sent for stable iso-
topes analysis ro rhe Dorothy Gar-rod Laboratory for Isotopic Analysis at the Depaftment ofArchaeology, Universiry of Cambridge.
So far no ethical issues have been raised by any religious or non-goverxment grollps that
would inrpede the analysis of human skeletal r-naterial recovered from archaeological sites.
METHODS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Intemationally recognized standards and methods ibr deternrining age and sex (for a mole
detailed list of these see, for example, Slaus 2008a) are generally used in the bioarchaeologrcal
analysis of skeletal marerial from Croatia, although specific nethods generated for Croatian
archaeological populations are also utilized. These include discriminant functions for detemlin-
ing sex in mediaeval Croatian populations based on the dimensions of the femur and tibia (Slaus
1997; Slaus and TomiIi6 2005), as well as discdminant functions for detennining sex in modetn
Croats based on the dirrensions of the femur (Slars et a\.2003a)'

CONCLUSION
Croatia has a long history and tradition of research in physical anthropology dating from the
end of the 19th century, and the exceptional palaeoanthropological studies carried out byDragutin Go{anovi6 Kramberger on the Krapina Neanderthal remains. Bioarchaeologicalresearch of archaeological populations that inhabited Croatia significantly intensified at the end
of the last century, when a new generation of bioarchaeologists/physical anthropologists
working under the tutelage of Pavao Rudan and Hubert Maver emerged. The increased
interest in bioarchaeological research in Croatia was additionally fuelled by a widespread interest
in physical anthropology triggered by the role that Croatian physical anthropologists played inthe identification of civilian victims of the 1991 war in Croatia.
Although the level of funding and equipment in Croatian bioarchaeological laboratories
cannot be compared to that in more developed countries, the results that Croatian bioarch-aeologists/physical anthropologists are able to achieve are of the same high standard achieved
throughout European bioarchaeology/physical anthropology.There is no specific legislation in Croatia prescribing the treatment of human skeletal
remains recovered from archaeological contexts. Procedures that must be implemented prior toand during archaeological excavations, as well as procedures related to the handling of all
archaeological material, including human skeletal remains, are regulated by the 'Law on the
protection and preservation of cultural goods' and the 'Regulations on the archaeological
research of the Republic of Croatia'. So far, there have been no significantly negative experi-ences, and the cooperation between Croatian archaeologists and bioarchaeologists/physical
anthropologists is generally excellent. This does not mean, however, that more detailed legal
provisions in the form of regulations that would standardize the process of excavation, trans-
portation, analysis, presentation and publication of human skeletal remains should not be
developed in the future.
