Several burials brought to light by excavations in the area of the south-east necropolis of<br />
Pergamon date from the Roman imperial period (1 st - 3 rd cent. AD). Here, archaeologists<br />
and anthropologists are working together closely in a project funded by the Gerda Henkel<br />
Foundation which is analyzing grave forms, burials and grave goods with the aim of gathering<br />
the maximum possible amount of information about mortuary ritual and about the geographical<br />
and social origin and living conditions of the individuals buried. The projects mentioned<br />
will be continued in the coming years.<br />
