Abstract
The analysis of children skeletal remains has some problems due to their fragility and complicated preservation. However, the study of these remains may offer very precious information about the funerary treatment received by this part of the society and, at the same time, to understand its social role inside the group. The aim of this paper is to discuss which are the problems and limits when studying skeletal remains from immature individuals, and to analyse the available data of children recovered at the main Copper Age sites from the Inner Iberia and the Duero Basin.
