Serena Viva, Post Doc Research Fellow in the nEU-Med project, shows the results from the study of over 50 skeletons from burials in the cemetery of Vetricella. The burials have been analyzed following an archaeological and anthropological approach in an attempt to answer both general issues and specific questions tied-in to a distinctive archeological context, not a settlement or religious complex, but rather an administrative centre, a royal court connected to the Kings of Italy and the Ottonian Dynasty of the German Kings during the post-Carolingian period. The study was carried out with the aim of reconstructing the biological and palaeodemographic profile of a human community that, between the mid-10th and beginning of the 11th century AD, during a phase that sees a change in function of the royal centre of Vetricella, and the beginnings of the graveyard.
