Gál Szilárd Sándor: Anthropological Study of the Medieval Cemetery from Adămuş Morfo-taxonomical Measurements of the Osteological Material
212 GÁL SZILÁRD SÁNDOR mandible. Situation of teeth: teeth in the alveola: 12 (2), C (2), PM1 (2), PM2 (2), Ml, М2 (2), 12 (1), C (1), PM1, PM2 (1), Ml, М2 (1), C (3), Ml, М2 (3), C (4), PM2 (4), Ml, М2 (4); fallen teeth post mortem: II from all quadrants, 1 PM (probably PM1 from the 4th quadrant). Thorax: 5 cervical vertebrae, 6 thoracic vertebrae and 5 lumbar vertebrae, 9 fragments from ribs. Bones of pelvis girdle: iliac bones, pubian bone, and small fragments from sacrum. Upper limbs (arms): distal epiphysis of right humerus, fragments of the humerus’ head, proximal epiphysis of the right radius. Lower limbs: right and left femur (1. of bone 320 mm), the distal epiphysis of the right femur is not preserved. Skeleton of the feet: left talus and calcaneus and phalanges. Sex determination: bones of the pelvis and bones of the skull show female characteristics. Age determination: ecto- and endocranial sutures, the situation of teeth and the synostosis of the epiphysis show a young female. M4. 2-4 years old Infans I child The skeleton was preserved fragmentary. Skull. Cranium: -. Thorax: 5 thoracic vertebrae. Upper limbs (arms): fragments from the diaphysis of ulna and radius. Skeleton of the hand: phalanges. Bones of pelvis girdle: iliac bones, proximal part of the sacrum. Lower limbs: left (1. of bone) and right femur (1. of bone), left and right tibia. Skeleton of the feet: left talus and calcaneus, right talus and phalanges. Sex determination: -. Age determination: the synostosis of the epiphysis and dimensions of long bones show a young child. M5. Adult? The skeleton was preserved fragmentary. Skull. Cranium: -. Thorax: 4 thoracic vertebrae. Upper limbs (arms): left and right radius, distal epiphysis of the right ulna. Skeleton of the hands: sciphoideus bone, 1 metacarpus and 3 phalanges. Bones of pelvis girdle: iliac bones, small fragments from the pubian bone. Lower limbs: left patella. Sex determination: Age determination: the dimensions of long bones indicate an Adult person. M6. 6-7years old Infans I child I was able to make a detailed analysis. The skeleton was preserved relatively well. Skull. Cranium: parietal bone, occipital bone, temporal bone, frontal bone, the degree of the galbella is 2. Bones of the face: zygomatic bones, zygomatic arch, ethmoid bone, fragments from the maxilla, mandible. Situation of teeth: teeth from the alveola of maxila: Ml (1), М2 (1), PM1, PM2 (2), Ml (2); 12 (3), C (3), PM1, PM2 (3), II (4), PM1, PM2 (4), Ml (4). Dental formula: 2102. Thorax: 18 small fragments from vertabrae (only the body), distalis part of the sacrum, 54 small fragments from the ribs. Upper limbs (arms): proximal part of the left and right shoulderblade, distal epiphysis of the left and right humerus (cortical layer 2 mm), small fragments from the diaphysis part of ulna and radius. Bones of pelvis girdle: iliac bones, pubian bone and distal part of the sacrum. Lower limbs: right and left femur in 2-2 pieces (1. of the bone 205 mm). Sex determination: -. Age determination: cortical layer (2-3 mm), the dimensions of the long bones and the situation of teeth (eruption phase of the Ml) show a young child.
