Abstract
This research focuses on the identification of human skeletal remains discovered at the archaeological site of Khamissa (Thubursicu Numidarum) in the Wilaya of Souk Ahras, one of the most prominent archaeological sites in Algeria. The study aims to provide a detailed description of the skeletal remains using technical cards as a primary tool for data collection and documentation. This includes information such as sex determination, positioning, bone condition, and the depth at which the remains were found, in addition to an examination of the surrounding soil layers.
This research offers a valuable database that can serve as a reliable foundation for future studies. It contributes to enriching the archaeological knowledge of the Khamissa site and provides new perspectives on systematic methods for archaeological data collection and analysis.
