Summary: | This paper presents diseases which directly leave traces on osteological
material (enamel hypoplasia, caries, traumatic conditions, haematological
disorders, metabolic diseases and middle ear inflammation) and diseases that
leave no visible marks on bones, and may indeed be the direct cause of death
of children in ancient Sirmium. In paleodemographic research, child mortality
rate is an important element of a population’s progress. Child mortality is
considered an adequate criterion for the social and sanitation conditions of
a community and a sensitive indicator of inadequate nutrition. [Projekat
