Annotation	The aim of our research was to study of the Harris line's formation in the non-adult population of the Great-Moravian settlement agglomeration at Mikulčice-Valy. We focused only on the non-adult population because it is impossible to rule out the possibility of re-modelling of these lines in adults. We recorded the incidence of these markers using X-rays of the long bones of the upper (Hu) and lower (Fe, Ti) extremities. We evaluated a total of 132 individuals. After determining the incidence of these markers on individual bones, we observed the difference in the incidence of markers among individual bones, as well as differences in the distribution of lines in the proximal and distal parts of the bone under study. We also studied the intensity of line formation, which, together with the density of the lines themselves, could indicate the degree of intensity and duration of the stress. Finally, we evaluated, the period in the child's life when bone growth was most frequently disrupted.
