Settlement and graves from Hernádvécse (NE-Hungary) in the 5th century AD 51 Fig. 1 Hernádvécse-Nagy rét site 4. 1: The location of the site 2: The site on the map of the First Military Ordnance Survey /. kép Hernádvécse—Nagy rét, 4. lh. 1: Л lelőhely elhelyezkedése 2: A lelőhely az Első Katonai Felmérés térképén probably either cleaned or already abandoned before they caught fire. Destruction layers could be detected in more than half of the pits. The filling of these were heavily mixed with ash and pieces of charcoal, in several objects pieces of burned clay were also found. 2.2. BURIALS 2.2.1 Str.l. Grave Disturbed inhumation burial oriented WNW. The rounded rectangular grave-pit was narrow. The broken skull was tilted to the right. Only the mandible and the bones of the arms and legs were left in their place. The rib bones were scattered on the chest and on the femurs. Sizes: Length: 182 cm; width: 61 cm; depth: 24 cm. 2.2.1.1. Anthropological description Infans II. (cca. 10—11-year-old) individual The assemblage is made up of poorly preserved skull fragments and a medium well-preserved postcranial fragment (long bones, vertebrae, pelvic bone and collar bone). The age at death was estimated from the length of some long bones (humerus: ca. 245 mm, radius: ca. 180 mm) and from the eruption and developing state of teeth (Schour-Massler 1941; Stloukal—Hanákövá 1978; Ubelaker 1989; Bernert et al. 2007). To sum the dentition there are 22 teeth, the abrasion of which are SA-ASI grade. Stronger, ASII graded abrasioncould only be detected on the upper first incisors. Pathology: Porotic hyperostosis (PH) is visible on the neck of the left femur, characterized by localized areas of spongy or porous bone tissue. The presence of the PH has been considered evidence that the examined individual suffered chronic or episodic malnutrition (e.g. iron deficiency diet) (Walker et al. 2009). On the maxilla the palatum durum is porotical due to some inflammation (Steinbock 1976; Aufderheide-Rodrícuez-Martin 1998). Epigenetic variation did not occur.
