Statistical analysis was performed on several trace element attributes found in human skeletal remains from Bronocice, Łękawa, Samborzec, Słonowice, Szarbia and Wójeczka. The Bronocice data comes from four cultures: Funnel Beaker, Lublin-Volhynian, Funnel Beaker-Baden and Corded Ware, thus it represents the largest sample of data for this analysis. The samples from other sites are from Corded Ware culture. One Bronze Age sample comes from Słonowice. The samples were analyzed in the Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by T. Douglas Price. The objective of this study is to determine the dietary practices of Neolithic populations in southeastern Poland and if the diets of these cultures varied through time
