Traces of fires and demolition in the northern part
of Hermonassa were traced as a result of the study
of the strata dating back to the third quarter of the 3rd century.
Human remains of various completeness were found in
the pits. Sex and age variability of the buried indicates a civilian
population killed during the armed conflict, while decapitation and scalping
marks can be considered as a marker that identifies the attackers. The pits
were used as hygienic burials. Peaceful life in the settlement resumed in a
short period of time after the attack. |
