This bioanthropological report concerns the human remains identified as UE 6126, which were excavated from a multiple burial in the Third Order of Our Lady of Carmo's burial grounds in Porto, Portugal. The report supports and enhances an upcoming publication on the calcified mass found in association with the skeleton.
