Archaeological Data Regarding the Medieval History of the Unitarian Church in Adämu$ 175 cervical (2) and toracical (3) vertebrae, small fragments from the diaphysis of ribs. Upper limbs (arms): left clacicle (sternal part of bone), left shoulder-blade (proximal part of the bone), right radius (1. of bone 118mm), fragments from the diaphysis part of the left radius and ulna. Lower limbs: had of the right femur (diam. 31 mm). Sex determination was not possible. Age determination: cortical layer (1-2 mm), the dimensions of long bones and the eruption phase of teeth show a young child. M8. 10-12 years old Infans II child. The skeleton was preserved fragmentary. Skull. Cranium: parietal bones, occipital bone, temporal bone, frontal bone, pórus acusticus externus. Bones of the face: fragments from the maxilla and mandible. Situation of teeth: PM1 (1), Ml (1), 12 (2), C (2), PM1 (2), Ml (2), PM1 (3), Ml (3), 12 (4), C (4), PM1 (4); identified in the alveolar М2, М3 from the maxilla and mandible. We found eruption error in the maxilla: 11 and C from the maxilla were still in the alveolar, the surface of the alveolar was in advanced phase and the tooth couldn’t knock out from the alveolar. Sex determination was not possible. Age determination: ecto- and endocranial sutures, the situation of the teeth show a child. M9. 2-4 years old Infans I child. The skeleton was preserved fragmentary. The most part of the skeleton is missing. We had recovered fragments from the skull: parietal bones, frontal bone. Sex determination was not possible. Age determination: the dimensions of the skull show a young child. M10. 11-15 years old Infans II child. We could make a detailed analysis. The skeleton was preserved relatively good. Skull. Cranium: parietal bones, occipital bone, temporal bone, frontal bone, pórus acusticus externus. Bones of the face: right zygomatic bone, fragments from orbita, the maxilla in 2 pieces, right half of the mandible. Situation of teeth: 12 (1), C (1), PM1, PM2 (1), Ml, М2 (1), II, 12 (2), C (2), PM1, PM2 (2), Ml, М2 (2), II (3), C (3), PM1, PM2 (3), Ml (3), II, 12 (4), PM1, PM2 (4), Ml, М2 (4). Dental formula: 2123. Thorax: 1 thoracic vertebra and 2 lumbar vertebrae, 5 fragments from ribs. Upper limbs (arms): diaphysis part of the left humerus, left and right radius and ulna without distal epiphysis. Bones of pelvis girdle: iliac bones, fragments from ischion bones, fragments from pubian bones and sacrum. Lower limbs: left (1. of bone 330 mm) and right femur (1. of bone 330 mm). Sex determination was not possible. Age determination: eruption phases of the teeth and the ossification phase of the humerus and femur show characters of a child. Mil. 2-5 years old Infans I child. The skeleton was preserved fragmentary. The most part of the skeleton is missing. Skull. Cranium: small fragments from parietal bones. Thorax: 5 fragments from ribs. Upper limbs (arms): proximal epiphysis of the right radius. Sex determination was not possible. Age determination: cortical layer of the radius (1 mm) and dimensions of the bones show a young child. Ml2. The osteological material was destroyed because of the soil characteristics. Trench 2 (PL 3/d-f; Fig. 1) By opening this trench (2.50 x 2.00 m) we tried to find an explanation to the unusual location of the buttress on the nave’s northern side. In the small area closed in by the buttress and the nave an earlier buttress’s foundation was visible 1 m deep. This showed similar traits to the early sacristy wall found in Cl and the nave wall documented in SI. The early buttress’ groundwork was based 2 m deep and the later buttress’ groundwork lay approximately in the same depth using the previous foundation.
