This study presents the first bioarchaeological examination of human remains, accompanied by a small collection of zooarchaeological remains that were discovered during the 2019 archaeological excavations at Burial 6 in the Late Roman Cemi-i Çeto cave in Siirt-Kurtalan, Southeastern Turkey. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the population structure, biological distance, height, and way of life of the Late Roman community residing in Cemi-i Çeto. Furthermore, a comparative analysis was conducted between the Cemi-i Çeto and contemporary human populations from diverse Anatolian regions.Human skeletal remains were analyzed in the Human Osteology Laboratory, while animal remains were examined at the Zooarchaeology Laboratory at Mardin Artuklu University in Turkey. Experts examined the skulls, mandibles, and hip bones to determine the sex of the human remains. To estimate the age of adult individuals, a complex aging method was employed, considering factors such as the eruption stages of deciduous and permanent teeth, epiphyseal fusion, and the length of long bones. For the age estimation of infants and children, the formulas proposed by Üner in 1972 were utilized for life table calculations. To estimate the height of the Cemi-i Çeto population, the formulas proposed by Pearson in 1899, Trotter and Gleser in 1952, and Sağır in 1994 were applied. The identification of animal bones was supported by modern reference collections available at the Zooarchaeology Laboratory of Mardin Artuklu University. To distinguish between goats and sheep, the criteria presented by Boessneck (1969) were used. The age of the cattle was estimated based on mandibular tooth wear, following the methods of Boessneck and von den Driesch in 1975 and Howell-Meurs in 2001 (p. 163). For age determination of sheep and goats, the criteria relied on epiphyseal fusion of postcranial elements, following Zeder in 2006. The age of horses and dogs was also determined based on epiphyseal fusion, following the criteria proposed by Silver in 1963 (p. 252).A total of 116 individuals and a small assemblage (n = 62) of animal bones were identified. Within the Cemi-i Çeto human population, there were 4.31% infants, 38.79% children, 22.41% females, 26.72% males, and 7.75% individuals of unknown sex. Infant and child mortality together accounted for 43.10% of the population. The population comprised 30.17% young adults, 11.20% adults, and 4.31% elderly individuals. The average age of the adult individuals was 28.67 years. However, although there was a significant difference between the average ages of adult females (28.65 years) and adult males (30.37 years). The age groups ranging from 0 to 5 years and 5 to 10 years had the highest mortality rates within&nbsp;the Cemi-i Çeto population. The average height of the Cemi-i Çeto population was 164.01 cm. Notably, both females and males in Cemi-i Çeto surpassed the average height of middleaged populations in Anatolia. The Trotter-Glesser and Sagır’s height formulas have yielded compatible results for the Cemi-i Çeto population. According to these two methods, the average height of Cemi-i Çeto females exceeded the average height of Late Roman females in Anatolia by more than 2 cm, while the average height of Cemi-i Çeto males surpassed the average height of Late Roman males in Anatolia by more than 1.2 cm. Therefore, the taller stature of individuals in the Cemi-i Çeto population can be considered as an indicator of good health within their society.Various species were identified from the small assemblage of 61 animal bones discovered in burial no. 6 at Cemi-i Ceto. These bones were scattered among a large number of human bones. The identified animal species include fox (Vulpes vulpes), dog (Canis familiaris), sheep (Ovis aries), goat (Capra hircus), cattle (Bos taurus), horse (Equus caballus), hare (Lepus europaeus), and various birds (Aves spp.). Among these, fox bones comprised the highest ratio at 35.14%, with 13 identified bones, whereas horse bones had the lowest ratio at 2.70%, consisting of only a complete radial bone. Notably, all these animal bones belonged to sub-adult to adult individuals, and no cultural marks were observed on any of these bones.The burial tradition observed at Cemi-i Ceto shares similarities with burial traditions found at other sites, such as Gercus in Batman, Dara Ancient City, and Midyat Aktas in Mardin. These sites also exhibited a significant proportion of infant and child deaths, which is a trend observed in many other contemporary populations in Anatolia. It is likely that famines, possibly caused by periodic wars, have had an impact on children, who are often more vulnerable in such circumstances. However, despite these challenges, the overall health and nutritional status of the Late Roman population at Cemi-i Ceto does not seem to be worse off compared to many other contemporary populations in Anatolia. Their diet appeared to consist of a combination of plant and animal sources, with a significant emphasis on meat and grains. In contrast, the presence of joint diseases in the Cemi-i Ceto population can be attributed to physical activities.

This study focuses on the relationship patterns between the Baribas and Fulbés, the two dominant demographic elements of Banikoara, one of the 77 communes of the West African country Benin. The agricultural income earned in Benin over the years comes from the production of food products and cotton. Banikoara is the main center of cotton production in the country, where the Bariba is the main provider. While the Bariba is a sedentary community that produces cash crops, primarily cotton and also food crops, the Fulbé, a semi-nomadic community, are mostly identified with animal husbandry. They raise small livestock such as sheep and goats, and poultry, and also engage in aquaculture, including shrimp and other mollusks. Conflicts between these two communities occasionally arise from the limitations and problems in the agricultural and livestock activities of the region and ecological crises (CARDER, 2000; FAO, 2004).Banikoara consists of one urban (Banikoara-Marou city) and nine rural (Founougo, Gomparou, Goumori, Kokey, Kokiborou, Ounet, Somperekou, Soroko and Toura districts) local government districts. The rural districts (arrondisement) consist of sixty-nine (69) villages. The country’s population is diverse, with approximately thirty ethno-linguistic communities. It consists of Bariba (70%), Fulbé (23%), Dendi (1.6%), Yoruba (1.3%), Fon (0.8%) and other groups (3.3%). (RGPH4-2013). Although each of these communities speak their vernacular language, 57 different languages ​​are known to be spoken throughout the country (Bio Bigou, 1987). Bariba people speaking the Baaton language make up the majority of Banikoara’s population, while Fulbé people speaking the Fulfulbé language are the second largest community in the commune. Both communities span multiple regions and countries. Baribas are found in the Alibori, Borgou and Atacora regions of Benin and Nigeria; Fulbé people live in almost every region of Benin and in countries such as Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Mali.This study explores the joking relationship, which is a bulwark against the open crises occurring between the Baribas and Fulbés of the Banikoara commune in Benin. The article is grounded in an ethnographic research conducted in 2019, employing methods such as observation, focus group discussions, and personal interviews within the Banikoara commune in Benin. The research delves into the reflections of agricultural policies aimed at rural development in the Republic of Benin, specifically examining their impact on the socioeconomic conditions of the Banikoara commune. A substantial portion of our interviews, totaling 90 individuals, engaged active members of local development associations—12 individuals from each of the 5 associations. Additionally, we interviewed religious leaders (5 individuals) and other residents of the region. This article heavily relies on interviews conducted with members of the Bariba and Fulbé communities, providing insights into their daily interactions.&nbsp;Although the ‘peaceful’ history of the two communities has been emphasized in interviews with community members and in common narratives, it is known that there are" silinecek. "conflicts" kelimesinden sonra "arise" eklenecek. Yani düzelti şöyle görünecek: ", conflicts arise between these two communities from time to time, especially due to the limitations and problems in the agricultural and livestock activities of the region and ecological crises. It is necessary to evaluate these conflicts within national and regional socio-ecological, economic, and political contexts. The first part of the article outlines the major reasons for the past and future conflicts between the Baribas and Fulbés. The second part discusses the socio-cultural implications of various types of joking relationships between these communities.Research findings point to the importance of the joking relationship between the two communities in social rapprochement processes, such as mutual adaptation, kinship, and alliance formation. The practice of joking, an ancestral tradition, has been shown to lead to a kind of virtual kinship, creating patterns of harmony and alliance. The tradition of joking facilitates neighborly relations within the commune between the Baribas and the Fulbés.&nbsp;
