The aim of this study was the anthropological analysis of three German individuals from migration period which were excavated in new, fourth necropolis in Belgrade. Although, skeletal remains were incomplete and fragmentary, we managed to determinate sex and age of each individual (two male and one female adults). To get a complete anthropological picture of buried individuals detailed descriptions of individual skeletal remains for each grave were given. The description comprehended: preservation and completeness of skeletal remains, sex and age estimation, stature estimation dental record, paleopathological finds and skeletal markers of occupational stress. Dental analysis showed presence of caries, attrition, abscess cavities and periodontal disorders. A careful observation of skeletal remains demonstrated that these deceased suffered of bone injuries and fractures joint diseases and circulatory disorders. The markers of occupational stress noticeable on the bones indicated that these two men were probably warriors (one of them was possibly even horseman)
