Autorii prezintă rezultatele investigației arheologice și antropologice întreprinse asupra unui mormânt medieval ce posedă trăsături amintind de cultura longobardă. După evaluările arheologice asupra morfologiei arhitectonice a mormântului și a inventarului, am investigat rămășițele umane și animale. Analiza acestora ne-a permis să formulăm o ipoteză legată de acest ritual particular care ține de tradiția veche longobardă. Mormântul nr. 2 din biserica Sf. Mihail din Mornago reprezintă o mărturie rară a inhumației cu pasăre din Italia de nord.

Abstract
The current paper aims to present the archaeological and anthropological results of the investigation conducted on a medieval burial which presents several features that recall the Longobard culture. After the archaeological evaluations on the architectural morphology of the tomb and on the grave goods, we proceeded with the anthropological investigations on human and animal bone remains.
