Highlights
A considerable number of scientific studies are devoted to the history of the Sarmatian population of the early Iron Age from the Lower Volga region
We looked at the frequency of occurrence of the porotic hyperostosis of the orbitals and the cranial vault bones, signs of inflammatory processes on the bones of the postcranial skeleton in the form of periosteum inflammation
The basis of the Sarmatian diet was meat and dairy products, which is confirmed by a complex of dental pathologies, spread in both adults and children of the 400-100 BC
Summary
A considerable number of scientific studies are devoted to the history of the Sarmatian population of the early Iron Age from the Lower Volga region. Archaeological research of the Sartmatian population is one of the many popular areas dealing with such issues as chronology, dating back, typology of material objects, study of ritual funerary monuments, etc. Another perspective is paleoanthropological research of the Sauromatic and Sarmatian tribes. Children are not small copies of adults; they have different attitudes, view of things, priorities and social ties All this wealth of children’s life cannot be restored by evaluating separately the literary evidence from archaeological data. We attempt to identify some specific aspects of life based on the analysis of literary evidence, paleopathological, archaeological and ethnographical data related to immature individuals and adolescents in the early Sarmatian times
