ABSTRACT
As one of Europe’s smallest countries, Luxembourg does not have any physical anthropologists. Subsequently, excavation of historical human remains is done by archaeologists, while modern skeletons with potential criminal implications fall under the care of the police and, if there is an indication of a crime, the public prosecutor. A fairly high number of skeletons (about 1000 individuals) have been studied or are currently
under study (Table 23.1). However, many of these studies have not been published yet. In addition, there are about 300 individuals, mostly cremated, from Roman, Iron Age or even older sites that have been studied and published. These have also been listed in Table 23.1.
