Summary/Abstract: The osteological remains of a young man (Adultus, 28-30 years old) were identified during the anthropological analysis. We could observed with morpho-taxonomical methods several informations for sex determination, age estimation, paleostomatology (analysis of mandibula, teeth) and pathology. The morphology of the skull shows a few mongoloid signs on the orbits and the face. According to the cranial indexes the defunct had mesocran skull (typical for males from the Carpathian Basin8, in the case of females the most popular type is the brachicran skull9. Unfortunately without the postcranial skeleton we could`t estimate the defunct`s stature.
