Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the human remains found in burial no. 1, at the Babadag culture settlement from Garvăn–Mlăjitul Florilor. The skeleton was found in a ritual pit, during the systematic excavations undertaken in the settlement. The individual was a subadult male, 14-15 years old. The orbits of the skeleton had microporosities, caused by cribra orbitalia. Anthropologically, it belonged to the Mediterranid race, with some proto-Europid influences.
