Summary/Abstract: The analyzed skeletons belong to the Medieval Period, and were found to Tauţ, Arad County. In this study were analyzed three children between 4-5 years and three adults. Their conservation status is precarious and the skeletons are very poorly represented, such as to aggravate the supply of anthropological data with great accuracy. Regarding the pathology, we are dealing with a case of cribra orbitalia at a child of 4 years and a pretty serious situation regarding dental device for adults. Both diseases can be attributed to poor nutrition, lack of iron in the diet.
