Leadership Styles and Conflict Management: An Exploratory Analysis of Behavioral Profiles and Temperament among Human Resources Students
This study aims to examine the relationships between leadership styles, conflict management strategies, and temperamental typologies, as well as to identify distinct respondent profiles emerging from the interaction of these variables. The research is grounded in the premise that leadership behavior is shaped by both individual characteristics and situational dynamics, particularly the ways in which individuals approach and regulate conflict situ…
Bioarchaeological Indicators for Human–Environmental Interactions in Late Iron Age Settlements (4th–3rd Centuries BC) from Central Dobruja (Romania)
The Lower Danube region represents a long-standing zone of interaction between indigenous communities, mobile pastoral populations, and Mediterranean colonial networks. During the Late Iron Age, such contexts have frequently been interpreted through culture-historical frameworks that emphasise socio-economic differentiation among coexisting populations. This study examines whether communities traditionally described in culturally or economically …
A possible case of bone metastasis in a human skeleton from Iași city (Romania) of the 17th-19th centuries
Dental phenotypic variability in an archaeological human population of the 16th–19th centuries from Iaşi city (Romania)
Phenotypic diversity in the human population from Iaşi city, in the 16th–19th centuries, supports gene flow and mobility. • The dental material subjected to geometric morphometric techniques is represented by the second mandibular molar. • The plasticity of mesial surface of the molar was found to define the dental phenotypic patterns in the studied population. This study aims to assess the variability of dental morphology within a human populati…
Middle Holocene Subsistence in Southwestern Transylvania: Bioarchaeological Data on the Multicultural Site of Șoimuș-Teleghi (Hunedoara County, Romania)
This work proposes to contribute through an interdisciplinary perspective to the evaluation of paleoeconomic and paleoenvironmental changes during Middle Holocene in Southwestern Transylvania. The study integrates archaeozoological data with phytolith analysis to reconstruct subsistence and vegetation dynamics from the Early Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age at Șoimuș-Teleghi (Hunedoara County, Romania). Animal remains are described in terms of th…
Bioarcheological Study on a Human Skeleton of Sabatinovka Culture, Discovered at Novosiolovca (Taraclia District, Republic of Moldova)
This work presents the results of anthropological examination of a skeleton belonging to Sabatinovka culture, discovered at Novosiolovca (Taraclia District, Republic of Moldova). Although the skeleton’s poor state of preservation limited the analysis, the recovered remains revealed data on age at death and sex (i.e., female of 25–30 years old), and on dentition such as an advanced dental wear and some non-metric traits (i.e., mesial accessory cus…
Dental anthropology on two skeletons of early bronze age from congaz (gagauzia autonomous territorial unit, republic of moldova): Dental Wear and Non-Metric Traits
The morphological description of the permanent dentition belonging to two skeletons of Early Bronze Age (Jivotilovka Culture) from Congaz, (Găgăuzia Autonomous Territorial Unit, Republic of Moldova) is realized in this article. The work is focused on the nonmetric traits according to the ASUDAS scoring system, and the dental wear. The occlusal wear and antemortem fractures observed in the dental material indicate the consumptions of abrasive and …
Preliminary odontometric study on a sample of human second molars of 16th -19th centuries, from the city of Iași (Romania)
Owing to their excellent postmortem preservation, teeth are particularly important in archeological and forensic contexts. Teeth have been studied in several bioarchaeological research areas including crown morphology and size. Although odontometrics received attention in the last decades, there are few studies regarding tooth crown dimensional variability in past human populations from Romania. This study refers to the metric variability assessm…

Diet-related dental wear in archaeological human populations of Chalcolithic and Bronze Age from North-Eastern Romania
< 0.001). Moreover, the multiple regression analysis involving the dentine exposure and the three variables that could influence the dental wear (i.e., age, occlusal area, and period) revealed no differences in dental wear between Chalcolithic and Bronze Age, as well as between different cultures of Bronze Age (i.e., Monteoru Culture and Noua Culture). Therefore, apart from age, occlusal area, and period, there may be other factors including diet…
Geometric morphometrics of the second molar teeth within the human population from the late medieval city of Iași, Romania
Although variability and sexual dimorphism (SD) have been intensively studied as regards molar size, patterns of SD on molar shape are not an equally approached topic. Therefore, this study uses size and shape variables of the second permanent molar (M2) from two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics to assess intrasample variability and shape patterns in SD within a human group from the late medieval city of Iași in Romania. Our findings are parti…
Dental microwear as a diet indicator in the seventeenth-century human population from Iasi City, Romania
The dental microwear analysis (DMA) focuses on diet reconstructions, being able to provide proxy indicators of some events regarding technological shifts in food processing and social hierarchy and differences between individuals. Although DMA approaches diet characterization in ancient times, medieval samples have received limited attention, especially in Eastern Europe. The aim of this article is to explore, identify, and describe within-group …
Holocene subfossil records of the auroch ( Bos primigenius ) in Romania
This paper reviews identification of the auroch ( Bos primigenius) during the Holocene in Romania based on data from 190 archaeological sites, corresponding to Neolithic (including Chalcolithic), Bronze Age, Iron Age, Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The assemblages were analysed according to the geographical and historical regionalisation of the Romanian territory (i.e. Moldavia, Dobrudja, Wallachia, Banat, and Transylvania). The data reveal the r…
