Abstract

Human bone remains from 19th-century Smolensk necropolis (Tver, Russia) are analyzed. Age, sex, and height distribution is close to that of 18th-century necropolis of Tver. Although with caries, most of the buried show the sign of improved oral hygiene as their teeth lack calculus, characteristic for the Tver population of earlier times. Some pathologies and traumas are described.
