The subject of the analysis in this article are three skeletal graves of the Mierzanowice culture, excavated in the seasons of 2008 and 2010 at site 2 in Książnice, Świętokrzyskie province. From the graves discussed above we have one radiocarbon date, obtained from grave 1 MC, which is 3715±35BP. The burial inventory is relatively rich, consisting of flint arrowheads, a bone pin, boar tusk pendants, bone and shell beads, as well as copper artefacts, is characteristic of the classical and late phases. Remains of the settlement and cemetery of the Mierzanowice culture mark the youngest chronological horizon on site 2 in Książnice. With certainty, we can relate all of the three skeletal graves, as well as the ditch running along the NW-SE-S axis across the central part of the elevation on which the site is located and the sacrificial pit.
