TI - Paleodemography of the Late Iron Age Cemetery from Fântânele–Dealul Iuşului, Transylvania
AB - In the Late Iron Age biritual cemetery from Fântânele-Dealul Iuşului / La Gâţa the remains of 43 individuals from 41 graves have been excavated to this day. The analysis of inhumation and cremation burials allowed for a paleodemographic study of this community settled on the fringes of the Celtic world. In addition to data on the sex and age or intravital body height of the deceased, pathological changes and epigenetic traits were also observed in some cases. Furthermore, analyses of the cremated human remains also brought to light different characteristics of burial habits, such as burning temperature or the rate of collection of the remains from the pyre.
