IH CENTURY SKELETAL FINDINGS DUG UP AT THE LOCATION OF ÁROKTŐ, CSÍK-GÁT The paper deals with the anthropological analysis of a cemetery located in the northeastern part of Hungary (Ároktő, Csík-gát). The finds of the cemetery were dated back to the V-IX

th centiries. The 249 osteologically identifiable individuals from the 250 graves excavated by Lovász, Emese could be divided into four parts: Hun-Germanic period (V

th century), Early, Avar period (568-670), Late Avar period (670-800) and the IX

th century. The number of the adult finds analysable for craniological purposes was 9 from the V

th century, 10 from the Early Avar period, 82 from the Late Avar period and 7 from the IX

th century, altogether 108 individuals (57 males and 51 females). On account of the chronological asymmetry in the extent of each samples, individual analyses had to be completed. Firstly we made missing value substitution applying Dear's principal component method for the twelve measurements of the skulls, for males and females separately. 162
