This teenager also had “stress marker” on his teeth, which leads to a conclusion about food irregularity in the diet of human groups in the Late Bronze Age. <...> The traces of paleo-disease with similar symptoms were revealed in one of the buried adults in Muradymovskoe settlement (Obydennova, Sherbakov, Shuteleva, 2006). <...> Key words: Late Bronze Age, Southern Transurals, Srubnaya and Andronovskaya cultures, paleo-disease Contact information: Shuteleva Iia, e-mail: shutelevai@gmail.com, PALEOPATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SKELETAL REMAINS FROM A 10TH-12TH CENTURY AD CEMETERY FROM HUNGARY Spekker Olga, Pбlfi Gyцrgy, Bereczki Zsolt, Molnбr Erika Department of Biological Anthropology, University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary The aim of our study is to present results of the paleopathological investigation of a 10th-12th century AD cemetery from South-East Hungary. <...> The examination of the skeletal remains of 59 individuals was performed using standard macromorphological methods of bioarchaeology. <...> In spite of the poor state of preservation, the examined osteoarchaeological series showed a wide range of paleopathological alterations: skeletal traces of degenerative articular changes, traumas and infectious diseases were observed. <...> On the basis of the detected alterations (rib lesions, superfi cial vertebral changes / hypervascularisation, endocranial alterations and potential stress indicators or infection markers, such as cribra orbitalia and long bone periostitis) the diagnosis of probable early-stage TB was supposed in fi ve cases. <...> In order to confi rm the assumed diagnosis, further biomolecular investigations are planned. <...> A mature female individual showed signs of severe destruction of the right maxilla most probably as a result of periodontal infl ammation. <...> The same skeleton revealed skeletal evidence of symbolic trephination on the middle of the sagittal suture. <...> It cannot be excluded that this intervention was made for medicoritual purposes. <...> Our results contribute to improving the knowledge on health status in historic populations of Hungary at the time of political and cultural transition from Eastern traditions to feudalism and Christianity. <...> The support of the Hungarian Scientifi c Research Fund, OTKA NN 78696 and OTKA N 78555 is greatly acknowledged. <...> Key words: paleopathology, Hungary, 10th-12th century AD, tuberculosis, periodontal infl ammation, symbolic trephination Contact information: Spekker Olga, e-mail <...>
