Analiza antropologică a unui schelet din prima epocă a fierului de la Saharna (Rep. Moldova)
Anthropological analysis of an Iron Age skeletoin from Saharna (Moldova Republic)

Summary/Abstract: Recent archaeological researches in the eastern side of the Iron Age settlement from Saharna-Dealul Mănăstirii identified a pit with a wooden structure inside it, in which a skeleton belonging to a 35- 45 years old male individual male individual was placed. The skeleton has a healed fracture of the right radius and a deformation of the distal epiphysis of the right ulna as a result of the joint use after the trauma occured. The frontal bone shows radiating fractures and the absence of a portion of the bone. This is either the result of a blunt force trauma, or the collapse of the wooden structure after an indefinite period of time following the deposition of the skeleton. The skeletal pathology indicates an individual that carried out intense physical activity throughout his life.
