Szathmáry László: Embertani vizsgálatok a bátyúi (Bratovo) 1. kurgán hamvasztott csontvázleletein

(1). Tooth: I (1), P (1), M (2) — all fragments. Sex: female. Determination of sex was uncertain. Age at death: between 25—50 years since maximum abrasion is of degree 2. The general appearance of skeleton fragments are graceful, muscle­reliefs are weak. Urn 2. The skeleton fragments of a cremated animal were found in Urn 2. Weight 133 g. Quantity: 600 pieces. Meso-macrofragmentetd. Frag­ments are not deformed. The frame looks rather broken than burnt. Cre­mation is only singe-like. Fragments give blunt sound, lumpily broken. Grave I. (without urn) South-East of Urn 2. Weight: 27,5 3. Quantity: 140 pieces. Meso-f ragmented. Some fragments of the top of the crania are bent at some angle, fragments of limbs are not deformed. Colour: greyish-whitish and light-brown. Fragments give blunt sound except for a few small pieces giving sharp clangour. Lumpily broken, cracks vaulted. Remarkably different degrees of cremation; generally weak, even unsatifactory with some anthropologi­cally unidentifiable pieces. The following fragments were evaluable qualitatively: neurocr. (20), humerus (2), femur (1), tibia (18), fibula (1). Sex: male. The determination of sex belongs to the „very likely" cate­gory. Age at death: 30—60 years (sutura occipitalis pars lambdoidea: Phase II.). The general appearance of the skeleton is robust, muscle-reliefs are powerful. Conspicuous is the large number of fragments of tibia and crania. This may refer to the fact that the higher temperature part of the fire burnt the trunk of the body for a long time. The skull and the legs were not under such a heat effect. Pathology: its left clavicula diaphysis is cracked, and reossified in slight dislocation. Grave II. (withaut urn) South-East of Urn 1. Weight: 39 g. Quantity: 180 pieces. Mostly meso-f ragmented. The fragments are not deformed, their colours are greyish-white and sand­yellow. Some skull fragments are grey-black which refers to short flames and long glowing. Give sharp sound, broken into lumps. The portion, of 20
