U.E.1467 is a secondary deposition in a trench, associated with the cemetery’s use phase, reveals an intentional arrangement of the disarticulated remains. The assemblage is characterised by a selective pattern, with clusters of long bones, stacked and arranged in an orderly fashion, superimposed on a layer of carefully arranged skulls. The remains were found at the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo burial site(19th-century Porto, Portugal). They were excavated in 2022/2023.

U.E. 1399, 1400 and 1401 are a triple grave. The skeletons of an adult and two children are present, one of which is very likely a baby: all buried at the same time. At the time of burial, the corpses were placed in a supine position and oriented along a north-south axis. Some care was taken in the deposition of the bodies. The remains were exhumed from the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo burial site(19th-century Porto, Portugal). They were excavated in 2022/2023.

U.E.2438 is a secondary deposition in a trench, associated with the active use of the cemetery. It shows evidence of disturbance resulting from construction activities after its abandonment. It is composed of a great diversity of disarticulated bone elements that make up the human skeleton. There is a mixed organisation, with well-defined stacking nuclei of elements coexisting with more chaotic and dispersed deposition areas. The remains were found at the 3rd Order of Our Lady of Carmo burial site (19th-century Porto, Portugal). They were excavated in 2022/2023.
