Resumo Após intervenção parcial numa área funerária romana (datada entre os sécs. I e II d.C.), identificada em Évora, foi analisado em laboratório o conteúdo osteológico e odontológico de 11 estruturas funerárias de cremação e uma de inumação. Cruzando os resultados da análise antropológica com o espólio arqueológico associado foram obtidas informações em torno dos rituais funerários, nomeadamente os associados à cremação, e traçado o perfil biológico dos indivíduos. Verificou-se uma alta variabilidade na construção e utilização das estruturas funerárias, quer na tipologia das mesmas, quer no proAbstract The content of 11 cremation funeral structures and one inhumation, founded during an intervention on a roman necropolis (dated between 1 st and 2 nd century), localized on the Gabriel Pereira's High School (Évora, Portugal), was analysed in laboratory, giving emphasis to the osteological and odontological material. When the results from the direct observation were crossed with metric data and archeological material associated, several informations were obtained concerning burial rituals (especially when associated to cremation) and individual biological profiles, as much as the preservation state allowed.
