 abstract={This paper presents the osteological, taphonomic, and archaeological analysis of a cremation grave from Markranstädt in northwestern Saxony – a region situated at the intersection of three cultural traditions during the final phase of the Late Bronze Age and the older phase of the Early Iron Age. Although the burial lacked distinctive grave goods, typochronological multivariate statistics provided a chronological and cultural framework for interpretation. Osteological analysis identified the deceased as an adult aged 30-40 years, exhibiting a notably tall stature and no pathological alterations in the skeletal remains. Taphonomic evidence reveals a deliberate and structured arrangement of the cremated bones within the urn, including the vertical, antithetical positioning of lower limb epiphyses and the horizontal placement of upper limb elements. These findings enhance our understanding of funerary practices in the region, highlighting the ritual complexity of cremation burials during this period of cultural transition.},
