often fancied up with ribbon and garlands. In ancient times, a coin was broken by a young man and half given to his intended and half for himself. The broken coin represented his intent to return. Burials Early Anglo-Saxon burials are traditionally based on cremation on a prye, with the deposition of corposes in the ground in a pottery container. Later, the unburned body was depodited in a rectangular grave. Graves were also commonly furnished with goods including jewellery, ornaments, brooches, beads, girdle-hangers and weaponry. Pottery and other vessels are sometimes found, as are toilet-sets, knives and amuletic items. Contribution Anglo-Saxon art contributed some distinctive iconographic forms to the artistic mainstream and also stylistic elements. Manuscript painting made a major contribution to the evolution of Romanesque and, ultimately, Gothic art. The early Anglo-Saxon period is notable for its cemeteries, most of which are found in the southern and eastern parts of England

The cemetery belongs to the 16-17 cc, and was discovered by chance in summer 1998, when the Raudsepa strip mine was re-opened. The archaeological specimens found were followed by archaeological excavations run by the archaeologists from the University of Tartu. The findings and excavated skeletons are stored at the Archeology Cabinet of the University of Tartu. Findings from the cemetery are typical for the period when the burials took place brooches, belt details, but also jewelry (beads, rings) and tools (knives, needles). The present study is aiming to give a demographic overview of the human remains, altogether 101 skeletons. The study was mainly aimed at the learning of methods for determining different characteristics obtainable from the skeletal material. The condition of the skeletons is not good, because of sandy soil, unfavourable for preserving human remains
