Bioarcheological Study on a Human Skeleton of Sabatinovka Culture, Discovered at Novosiolovca (Taraclia District, Republic of Moldova)

This work presents the results of anthropological examination of a skeleton belonging to Sabatinovka culture, discovered at Novosiolovca (Taraclia District, Republic of Moldova). Although the skeleton’s poor state of preservation limited the analysis, the recovered remains revealed data on age at death and sex (i.e., female of 25–30 years old), and on dentition such as an advanced dental wear and some non-metric traits (i.e., mesial accessory cusp, supernumerary cusps) providing relevant information for understanding the biological diversity. These findings contribute to defining the phenotypic variability of the Sabatinovka population and provide valuable comparative data for future research on population affinities and biological continuity in the Bronze Age
