Csákvár késő római kori népességének embertani vázlata

Abstract

Anthropological sketch of the Late Roman Period population from Csákvár: At Csákvár-Széchenyi úti kertek site (Hungary, Fejér county) there was excavated a part of a huge Late Roman Period cemetery. 1911 graves came to light, from which 1656 skeletons could be examined. There were 593 infant, 101 juvenile, 454 male and 508 female skeletons. In the adultus age group the mortality rate of the males were higher than that of the females. The traumatic alterations show as well that men were exposed rather to physical stress. The population belonged to the Europoid great race mainly with a dolichocranic skull and tall stature, and shows similarity with the series from Esztergom-Bánomi-dűlő, Tác-Margittelep and Pécs-István-tér. There were 17 artifically deformed skull in the material. In a double grave two decapitated men were buried. No archaeological analysis was accomplished by this time
