The study of burials and mortuary practices in the past provides
essential information on the role and treatment of children in
past communities. This study aims to better understand the
status of children by reviewing the material culture provided by
child burial contexts. Early Iron Age (800–300 BC) mortuary
practices in the southern Middle Danube (present–day eastern
Croatia and northwestern Serbia) are characterized mostly by the
cremation of the dead. The Iron Age is an important time for
funerary transitions. The standard practice of cremating the dead
was replaced by the practice of inhumation during the 6th
century BC. The manner of treatment of the dead body affected
the preservation of objects and data in the graves. This paper
studies 74 burials with child remains, costumes, jewellery, tool
items, and pottery grave goods. In Early Iron Age mortuary
practices, children were treated just like the adult members of
the community.
