Resumo

Archaeological research about medieval period of the site of El Castllón have identfed an ancient church associated with this period of occupaton of this site (9th–11th Century). Archaeological work has documented a necropolis associated with this religious building, with the presence of two children’s burials inside it, as well as three adult burials outside of this building. The anthropological study, together with the archaeological and radiocarbon analysis, has made it possible to analyze the burial rituals of this populaton and characterize its inhabitants. Through the macroscopic study of their remains, the sex and age of the buried individuals have been est- mated; their metric and non-metric (discrete) morphological characteristcs have been analyzed; their heights have been calculated; possible observable actvity markers have been analyzed; and a paleopathological study has been made. This research is focused in the diferent characteristcs of the medieval rural populatons in this area of the Western Duero valley.
