A Ladik utcai temető újabb részletének feltárása (Budai Balogh Tibor)

ben hiánytalan. Az emberi maradványok tudományos vizsgálata még nem történt meg, egv igen komoly, patológiás eset (torz végtagok) azonban még a laikus számára is nyilvánvaló. (6. kép) Ezt leszámítva egyéb abnormális jelenséget, a koponyán, vázcsontokon külsérelmi nyomokat nem észleltünk. Az ásatási terület már említett déli sírkertjében, illetve az északi végen csoportosultak az épített sírok (2 kő-, 7 téglasír), ezek mindegyike kivétel nélkül rabolt volt. A kősírok kőlapjai között másodlagosan felhasznált, feliratos vagy faragott kenet nem találtunk. A téglasírokhoz általában bélyeg nélküli darabokat használtak, annyi azonban ezekben az esetekben is megálla6. kép: A 19. sírban fekvő, komoly patoMgiás elváltozásokat mutató csontváz Fig. 6: A skeleton in grave no. 19, showing serious pathologies in its structure pointed nearly exactly west-east, while the upper, dominating one was oriented north east-south we st. Judged from the few in situ bones, the skeletons were found well preserved in the constructed graves. They were less well preserved in burials with wooden coffins and in the simple shaft graves especially at the edge of the cemetery, since this area was later inundated. Where the position of the skeletons could be observed, they were extended on the back except for an infant, which had been placed in the grave in a contracted position. The legs of the deceased were extended side bv side; the arms were crossed on the chest or on the pelvis. The teeth were strikingly healthy, and usually none were lost. The scientific analysis of the human remains has not yet been carried out. There was one obviously very serious pathologic ease (distorted limbs). (Fig. 6) Other than this burial, no other abnormality or injury could be detected on the skulls or other bones of the skeleton. The constructed graves clustered in the above-mentioned southern graveyard and in the northern end of the excavation area (2 stone and 7 brick graves). All had been robbed. We could not find secondarily used, inscribed or dressed stones among the stone slabs of the stone graves. Unstamped bricks were usually used for the construction of the brick graves. It can be said, nevertheless, that the building material of the individual graves was homogenous with the bricks coming the same workshop. Two graves in the grave yard contained bricks produced by cohors VII Breucorum Antoniniana as well as another cohors, which could not be identified more accurately, were found in the building material of another grave.
