Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to summarize the anthropological data that have accumulated over time regarding the human skeletal remains unearthed in the burial features at the Iclod Pămăntul Vlădicii Neolithic site. The need for reassessment and re-evaluation of osteological collections from older excavations, such as the one at Iclod, is emphasized, given the diversification of anthropological research methods over time. The integration of new results derived from interdisciplinary studies confirms and reinforces the potential benefits of merging and correlating archaeological and anthropological data, which are essential for understanding prehistoric communities. Access to archaeological information is crucial for a more accurate interpretation of the analysis results and for creating an anthropological picture as close to historical truth as possible. For this purpose, both archaeologists and anthropologists who are interested in research results must be open to sharing their findings.
