Antropološka in arheološka obravnava grobov zgodnjesrednjeveškega grobišča na Muljavi

Zagorc, Brina (avtor), Milavec, Tina (mentor), Novak, Mario (komentor)

Zgodnjesrednjeveško grobišče na Muljavi je datirano večinoma v 10. stoletje z odstopanji v 9. in začetek 11. stoletja. Magistrsko delo je sestavljeno iz arheološke analize grobnih pridatkov in antropološke analize 129 posameznikov, ki so jih v okolici cerkve Marijinega vnebovzetja izkopali v letih 1988, 2012 in 2016. Osteološka analiza je pokazala, da so skeleti slabo ohranjeni zaradi močne aktivnosti diageneze; najštevilčnejši in najbolj ohranjeni so bili zobje, ki so bili glavni vir informacij za demografsko in zdravstveno sliko pokojnikov iz časa zgodnjesrednjeveške Muljave. Analizirana populacija je verjetno živela v slabih higienskih razmerah, prav tako pa so verjetno živeli težko in fizično zahtevno življenje. O tem pričajo rezultati o povečanem fiziološkem stresu v času otroštva (HZS, cribra orbitalia), visoka smrtnost otrok in nizka povprečna starost odraslih. Obraba zobne sklenine in visoka pojavnost kariesa v populaciji nakazuje, da so jedli predvsem škrobno prehrano. Grobni pridatki so večinoma del takratne noše in sicer naglavni nakit z naglavnimi obročki in uhani, prstani, zapestnice, in ena ogrlica. Analiza grobnih pridatkov z antropološkimi podatki ni pokazala nobenih posebnih vzorcev pridajanja glede na spol in starost, razen tega, da so imeli nekateri moški v grobovih prav tako pridan naglavni nakit.

• Naslov: The anthropological and archaeological analysis of the early medieval burial site at Muljava

Izvleček

The early medieval burial site at Muljava dates to the 10th century. This thesis consists of an archaeological analysis of the grave goods and an osteological analysis of 129 individuals, which were excavated from Muljava in 1988, 2012, and 2016. The skeletons were damaged by severe diagenesis, from which the teeth were preserved the best. The latter were able to tell us the most about health and demographics of the early medieval Muljava population. They probably lived in very poor hygienic conditions, as well as a hard and physically demanding life. These hypotheses are supported by results from the childhood stress indicators (enamel hypoplasia, cribra orbitalia), high child mortality rate, and low average age-at-death in adult individuals. Also, dental enamel wear and high prevalence of caries imply their diet probably consisted of starchy foods. Grave goods are mostly considered to be a part of a daily costume – mostly head jewellery with head rings and earrings, rings, bracelets, and a necklace with glass and amber beads. A combined analysis of both archaeological and anthropological results showed no patterns in adding specific grave goods according to sex/gender, age, or any evident pathological cases. The only exception were some male graves with head rings as grave goods.
