Abstract

The fragments of a skull and deciduous and permanent teeth, mainly molars, from five graves were investigated. The skull from grave No. 9 belongs to an adult person, and all the teeth belong to children of various ages – from 3–4 to 10–12 years old: from grave No. 3 – younger than 10 years, from grave No. 4 – from 6–7 to 11–12 years old, from grave No. 8 – a child younger than 3–4 years, and from grave No. 19 – younger than 10 years. Only enamel caps of the teeth crowns are mostly preserved. Despite this, due to lack of enamel attrition, it was possible to examine the teeth odontoglyphically. According to the odontoglyphical pattern, the teeth are quite similar to well – investigated modern Lithuanians.
