Archaeological Data Regarding the Medieval History of the Unitarian Church in Adämu$ 179 closure were applied,19 the degradation processes of teeth, the proximal and distal epiphysis of long bones and analysis of ribs.20 The morphological and metric data were collected after Martin’s classification. For estimation of stature (Fig. 4) the method of Sjovold and Rösingin Martin’s classification could be followed.21 22 Females and Children Males femur Stature Martin’s femur Stature Martin's average by Sjavold classification average by Sjovold classification 320.00 132,58 vs 445,00 Г66Д6 m~ 205.00 101,42 7 330.00 135,29 vs Females and Children Males femur Stature Martin's Femur Stature Martin's average by Pea-Rös classification Average byPea-Rös classification 320.00 134,00 vs 445,00 Щбб sin-205.00 111,58 -330.00 135,95 vs Fig. 4. Estimation of stature. Fig. 5. Mortality curves.22 Because of the soil characteristics a comprehensive measurements on the skulls couldn’t be realised. During the analysis 2 Adultus, 2 Iuvenis, 4 Infans I, 3 Infans II and 1 undetermined skeleton (total 12 human skeletons) were identified. The anthropological representation of the population is relatively good. On postcranial bones morfo-taxonomical measurements could be realised. Teeth are in good condition. No marks for paradonthosis or prognathia alveolaris could be observed. The answer for this situation is the age, dental decease appear at Iuvenis and Adult ages. Children mortality is high, most of them had died at 2-5 and 10-15 years old (epidemics), in Medieval Age the high children mortality is typical (Fig. 5).23 In one case could be observed 19 Meindl-Lovejoy 1985, 57-66. 20 Martin-Sailer 1957; l§can et al. 1984, 1094-1104. 21 Sjuvold 1990, 431-447. 22 Bemert 2005, 71-75.
