Into the Flame : The Cremated Bones of Early Roman Period at Gradinje site (Slovenia)
Analysis and interpretation of human cremated remains in the archaeological record still presents a real challenge to the bioarchaeologists. The standard osteological procedures for unburned skeletal remains often fail to identify those fragments transformed by fire. By examining thermal destruction patterns visible on bone and tooth remains, it is possible to interpret how the cremation happened. Analysis which includes diagenesis and nature of the cremated bones gives an opportunity of problem observation on different levels. The aim of this study is to present possibilities in the identification of human cremated remains using both macromorphological and histological methods. The histological methods applied were helpful in determining age at death. With application of the light microscopic analysis and the scanning electron microscopy (Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy method SEM/EDX) morphological 2D and 3D characterization of the samples were obtained. This study is a reconstruction and an interpretation of the human cremated remains from six cremation urns of the Early Roman period from Gradinje in Slovenia.
