In the summer of 2001, during an emergency excavation in the Alta, on old part of Coimbra, 45 skeletons and an ossuary were recovered. One of them, an adult male skeleton, exhumed from a stone-lined grave, dated to 1030′ 100 BP (2 sigma: cal AD 780 - 1220, Beta -158253), presented several pathologies, the more striking one affecting the hip. In this articulation, the pathological findings in the femoral head and the acetabulum include extensive bone destruction and reactive new bone formation, involving an irregular surface with pitting and cavities. In the acetabulum a small cloaca is visible. The condition described corresponds to a case of osteomyelitis, probably the consequence of a previous traumatic event affecting the femur's neck
