Between 1977 and 1985 at Zalakomár - Lesvári dűlő, near to each other, four cemeteries were excavated. One small cemetery with skeletal burials (Zalakomár I) and one with cremated burials (Zalakomár III) dates back to the Early Avar Period (7th century AD), two others (Zalakomár II with skeletal burials and Zalakomár IV with cremated burials) to the end of the Avar Period (between 780-790 and 840 AD). The present study is limited to a short description of the Zalakomár II skeletal sample. Main results: 1/ The number of male and female skeletons are nearly the same, their mortality rates are also close to each other. 2/ Cranial measurements and morphological traits for the two genders deviate only STLOUKAL - HANAKOVA 1974 Stloukal, M. - Hanáková, H.: Antropologicky vyzkum pohfebiste 7.-8. stoleti v Zelovcich.
