nekropola Ostojićevo, bronzano doba, pogrebna praksa, sahranjivanje u posudamaApstrakt
Sahranjivanje dece u posudama je pogrebna praksa stara koliko i veština izrade keramike. Na prostoru Levanta i evropskom tlu prisutna je od neolita do gvozdenog doba, bez kontinuiteta i jasnih geografskih okvira, uvek navodeći na pitanje šta su ideje koje stoje iza običaja polaganja dečijeg tela u keramički sud. Na teritoriji Srbije ova praksa je zabeležena prvi i jedini put tokom srednjeg bronzanog doba na nekropoli u Ostojićevu u Severnobanatskom okrugu, gde je od ukupno 285 individua sahranjeno 142 subadulta, od toga 103 individue starosti do 7 godina u keramičkim posudama. Praksa je dosledno sprovođena tokom čitavog hronološkog raspona u kome je nekropola bila u upotrebi (1650-1550 g. p. n. e.).
Postavlja se pitanje zašto su neka deca sahranjena u posudama, a neka nisu. Da bi se utvrdilo šta izdvaja decu sahranjenu u posudama u odnosu na onu van posuda, ovde predstavljamo rezultate sledećih analiza: individualne starosti dece, kod 76 očuvanih skeleta, grobnih priloga i orijentacije pokojnika.
Analiza individualne starosti dece pokazala je da praksa sahranjivanja u keramičkim posudama prestaje u uzrastu od 6 godina, uz jedan izuzetak (Individua 18), gde je u posudi sahranjena individua starosti od 7-8 godina. Analizirana je orijentacija skeleta dece prilikom sahrane i da li postoje statistički značajne razlike u orijentaciji dece sahranjene u posudama i van. Zabeležene su orijentacije sever-jug, jug-sever, istok-zapad i zapad-istok, koje su bile jednako zastupljene u kategorijama dece sahranjene u posudama i van posuda. Grobni prilozi su u horizontu srednjeg bronzanog doba na nekropoli u Ostojićevu retki. Značajno manji broj priloga se nalazi u grobovima dece sahranjenih u posudama u odnosu na decu van posuda. Kod dece sahranjene u posudama, pogrebni recipijenti su najčešće i jednini grobni inventar.
