The present study describes the skeletal material which was uncovered at the crypt of the monastery of St. Euthymius at Khan el-Ahmar, in the Judean Desert, near Jerusalem. Morphometric analysis and palaeodemographic data suggest that the majority of the people who were buried at the Khan el-Ahmar monastery came mainly from the autochtonous population of the region. It appears that they lived in a rather protected environment, maintained a high level of personal hygiene, and had an adequate food supply.
