Abstract		We compare the paleodemographic characteristics of the late Middle Ages populations from Bled, Slovenia. The skeletal series Pristava 1 belongs to the romanized natives in the sixth to the seventh centuries, the remaining five series to the Alpine Slavs from the seventh to eleventh centuries. The comparison is based on the mortality structure of the adult population. Differences in the expected life span (e20) and the potential gross reproductive rate (R pot), between the natives and the Slavs reflect different living conditions or a different adaptive ability within a similar environment.
