Abstract

Human skeletal remains were found in 83 cist graves in the Byzantine-period cemetery of Ḥorbat Ma’aravim. At least 121 individuals were identified, including infants, children and adults of both sexes, as is expected in a normal civilian population. The morphological characteristics of the skulls indicate a local desert population, perhaps Nabatean in origin.
