Archaeological excavation campaigns conducted by the University of Padua at the north- western necropolis of Nora (southern Sardinia) have brought to light a number of tombs, which date from the first quarter of the 7th to the third quarter of the 6th century BCE. In this paper, we discuss the bioarchaeological data from a subset of 27 cremations and 4 inhumations. A multi-analytical approach for analysing the odontoskeletal remains was applied – i.e., gross morphology, osteometry, and bone histology. Age-related differences in funerary customs and the treatment of the body have been identified at Nora throughout the Phoenician and Punic periods, whilst the osteological assessment has highlighted evidence of exclusion and inclusion of certain biological categories from the necropolis during the different phases of its use.
