ANALIZA ANTROPOLOGICĂ A MATERIALULUI OSOS DESCOPERIT LA CAPELA „SALVATOR” DIN ŞUMULEU-CIUC Rezumat

în cursul săpăturilor arheologice efectuate la Capela „Salvator” din Şumuleu-Ciuc au fost descoperite oase umane în două puncte diferite. Analiza morfo-taxonomică a stabilit că, dintre cele două schelete din ossariumul capelei, cel feminin se leagă de oasele descoperite disparat (mandibula superioară). Rezultatul analizei antropologice a permis studierea condiţiilor igienice ale epocii, a înălţimii locuitorilor zonei, a bolilor mai importante (artrite, periostită, caries, etc.) şi a tipului de craniu (mesochran de lungime medie).

THE SALVATOR CHAPEL AT ŞUMULEU-CIUC (CSÍKSOMLYÓ): THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE BONES FROM THE

OSSUARY

Abstract

On the occasion of the excavation at the Salvator Chapel, the ossuary revealed human bones. Along these, some other human bones were discovered during the chapel’s further research. The purpose of the present analysis was to see whether there was a connection between these two spots and their discoveries. After the morfo-taxonomic analysis the female skeleton from the two individuals identified in the ossuary proved to be in connection with the stray find (maxillary bone). The anthropologic analysis of the skeletons revealed the hygienic states of the era, the local community’s average height, some relevant types of diseases (arthritis, periostitis, caries, etc.) and a typical form of the skull (medium- long mesocrane).
