Summary/Abstract: Recent excavations, (2015-2017), within the proximity of the Neolithic settlement from Iclod, Cluj County, Romania, revealed a number of 24 inhumation graves. This paper presents the osteoarchaeological results of three non-adults (infans I and infans II) by displaying data regarding the age at death and evidence concerning the state of health of these individuals. We encountered common palaeopathological indicators such as cribrotic lesions and hypoplasia of dental enamel.By corroborating the new osteoarchaeological results with the previous researches within this site we can create new perspectives in understanding the funerary practices, social behaviour and anthropological aspects of these neolithic communities.
