Teeth are one of the most resilient parts of the human skeleton. Often at excavations, teeth may be the most well-preserved, or even the only, remains found. This is especially true of commingled contexts, where many, if not most, of the skeletal elements may be fragmented. This destruction makes the recording of an accurate MNI (minimum number of...
Objective
To link an antemortem cranial injury on the left parietal bone with potential neurocognitive consequences.
Materials
The skeleton of a male individual from a Székely archaeological site in Transylvania was examined. The skeleton was radiocarbon dated to Cal AD 1450 and AD 1640 and presented a well-healed antemortem penetrating cranial in...
In this article, we explore aspects of daily life through the lens of non-adult diet in the High and Late Medieval (1000–1500 CE) and Early Modern (1500–1800 CE) periods using skeletons from a church cemetery located in Mugeni (Bögöz in Hungarian), Romania. Carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis was conducted on dentin collagen samples from 20 non-ad...
The Szeklers are a biologically and archaeologically understudied Hungarian cultural group who have occupied the Carpathian Basin since at least A.D. 1000. For most of their history, they were an autonomous group given special nontaxed status in exchange for their service to the Kingdom of Hungary as cavalrymen and defenders of the eastern front. E...
Objective:
To differentially diagnose two calcified objects found with the well-preserved and nearly complete skeletal remains excavated in June 2012 by the Haáz Rezső Múzeum in Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania.
Material:
Two objects measuring 25.55 × 18.23 mm and 17.62 × 16.38 mm found with the skeletal remains of a probable female approximately 25-3...
"An outstanding opportunity for the investigation of the ruined medieval church emerged through the cooperation between the Haaz Rezső Museum and the Canadian company ArchaeoTek, who backed the archaeological excavation in support of academic training. As a result, anthropology students take part in the excavation, after which they analyze and inte...
This chapter addresses the notion of frontier by presenting our work from a Hungarian-speaking Székely community located at the eastern edge of Transylvania. Few bioarchaeologists are familiar with the Székely population, and virtually all lines of bioarchaeological inquiry are located at the frontier of knowledge production in this area. While our...
Interpretation of dental ‘health’ in archaeologically derived skeletal assemblages is challenging due to the lack of patient histories, clearly understood pathological processes, broad etiologies, and cultural perceptions of health. Furthermore, the language used in description of pathological conditions of the oral cavity condition is not consiste...
A 10. század második felében, pontosabban Géza hatalomra jutásával, majd I. István királlyá szentelésével elkezdődött a Kárpát-medence intézményes „nyugatiasodása”, illetve nyugatosítása. A tanulmány első részében a „nyugatiasodás” fogalmával és a hozzá szervesen kapcsolódó kérdésekkel foglalkozunk. A temetők leletanyaga alapján feltehetjük azt a k...
