Summary/Abstract: The paper summarizes the formal burials and isolated human remains from the Mesolithic/Early Neolithic site of Icoana in the Iron Gates of the Danube. All the available information on the burials, as taken from the field notes and site plans is being presented for the first time after 40 years. A list of all the (remaining) isolate human remains found on the site, part of the collection of the Center for Anthropological Research “Francisc Rainer”, is also given. The paper aims to be a first step in the attempt of the full publication of the archaeological records on the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic sites in the Iron Gates, hopefully leading to a better understanding of the Mesolithic-Early Neolithic transition in the area.
