In the fall of 2009, a rescue excavation of a section of Modern period graveyard at the All Saints church in the Metylovice village took place. In all, 28 certain and 4 possible skeleton graves were discovered. On the basis of pottery fragments it may be assumed the graves date to the end of 18th or the 19th century. Anthropological analysis made it possible to reconstruct the age at death of most skeletons. The sex and stature of most individuals, however, were impossible to estimate due to poor preservation of the skeletons.
