Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of the osteological analysis carried out on three skeletons, discovered in a Middle Bronze Age context. The skeletons were identified as belonging to one adult man and two adult women. Osteoarthritis, periosteal reactions, dental caries, linear enamel hypoplasia and porotic hyperostosis, are among the pathological findings which we identified, despite a poor degree of skeletal representation and preservation of the sample. Due to the small size of the sample, the inferences that can be drawn from this data are limited to the individual information for each skeleton.
