Abstract
Human remains of Troia are rare and do not represent the population of each chronological layer properly. Despite this basic problem, much palaeoecological information can be deduced from the human skeletons excavated up to now. Attention is given to the infant and child burials of Troia and Beşik-Tepe, which reflect burial rites as well as ecological living conditions.
