Resumo
In the Phoenician archaeological settlement of La Fonteta (Guardamar del Segura, Alicante, Spain) were exhumed, within a dwelling context, human remains which was cremated. The preservation of the main part of the remains has allowed to identify proofs of osteoarticular pathology in several parts of the skull. It must be emphasized the fusion of some ares of thoracic vertebras. These alterations could be related to the age of individual (male, middle-aged) as well to the possible forced physical activity (discovery in metallurgic context).
