DIFERITE CHIAR ȘI DUPĂ MOARTE. TREI MORMINTE DIN CIMITIRUL MEDIEVAL AL BISERICII MANEA BRUTARU
Different even after death. Three graves from the medieval cemetery of Manea Brutaru Church

Summary/Abstract: Archaeological research carried out between 2020-2021 inside the Church of St. Nicholas –“Manea Brutaru” in Bucharest led to the discovery of 117 graves and other 34 re-burials. The church, dating from the second half of the 18th century, overlaps a necropolis with four phases of use, a necropolis that cannot be dated later than the year of building of the brick church - 1787. A big part of the 117 graves had funeral inventory, but three burials of women stand out. Two of them, namely M46 and M66, had hair ornaments made of textile material, hairpins and glass beads, and M90 is a special case because it was buried in a crypt (C1) located in the Z3 wall of the western side of the church. This paper includes a bioarchaeological study conducted on these funerary complexes in order to see if the inventory of the three women can be correlated with a better health.
