Физичко-антрополошка анализа скелета из аварске некрополе са локалитета Старчево Ливаде
Physico-Anthropological Analysis of the Skeletons from the Avar Necropolis of the Locality Starčevo Livada

Summary/Abstract: The anthropological examination of the twelve tombs was conducted. Fifteen tombs were discovered in the area of the earlier-dated necropolis. According to the material found in the tombs, the necropolis was dated in the end of the VIIth and in the VIIIth century, the period marked by the later stage of the Avar domination. The two necropolises were explored which included 19 tombs, during the excavation for archaeological and protection purposes in the area «Livade» of the territory of the village Starčevo in 1984. The site „Livade“ in Starčevo was archaeologically processed only to a certain extent. Only a smaller part of the necropolis was discovered, and consequently, the results of the anthropological analysis are to be handled prudently, due to the lesser statistical significance they offer. The population from the Starčevo necropolis represented too minor a specimen anthropologically speaking, regarding the scale of this examination, to allow the more specific conclusions. More significant and complete information on the population that inhabited this region of Banat might be collected by means of the further examination of this necropolis, which would also allow the possibility of comparison and the more detailed insight into the bio-anthropological processes that have occurred.
