Overview

This analysis demonstrates age estimation from cremated remains in Bronze Age Austria, suggesting the need for combined methodologies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to improve age estimation methods for cremated remains from the Bronze Age.
  • Analyzed femur fragments from 113 cremated samples in Lower Austria.
  • Modified thin section technique to enhance efficiency and accessibility.
  • Conducted qualitative histological age estimation based on established methods.
  • Histological age estimates ranged from 2 to 70 years, with an average of 30.95 years.
  • Average difference between histological and morphological estimates was 16.76 years.
  • Weak correlation observed between the two age estimation methods.
