The present anthropological analysis concerns skeletons from the graves of the Mierzanowice Culture. The grave 1 (feature 4/08) contained the bones of a male at the age of maturus (40–45 lat) of intra vitam body height 170–172 cm. The skeleton in feature 5/08 — grave 2 belonged to an adult individual, adult individuals were also found in feature 1/10 and 13/10.

This paper presents the anthropological analysis of skeletons from four Zlota culture graves. Grave 1 contained the bones of three individuals, most of which were randomly scattered. Grave 2 contained the remains of four individuals, of which the skull of an infans II has scorch marks and skulls of other individuals have visible perimortem damage that could have been caused during funeral rituals. Grave 3 contains bones of at least eight individuals, including three adult females and five children, some of them arranged anatomically, some of them randomly scattered. The skulls of one female and infans II had been scorched, and certain long bones of those individuals were also damaged. Grave 4 contained a complete skeleton of iuvenis female. The damaged skulls from Książnice may be evidence of violence reported for the Neolithic period, as well as an example of intentional procedures to which cadavers were subjected

The excavations on the cemetery were conducted in the years 1938–2007. There was uncovered 1504 graves, 900 are of the Przeworsk culture and others from II–V period of the Bronze Age and Halsztadt C/D. The typical feature of the burial rite on this cemetery as well as others necropolises of the Górnośląsko-Małopolska Group of the Lusatian Culture is occurrence contemporaries crematory and skeletal burials side by side. The cremation graves dominated only 20% were skeleton burials. Most grave are connected with IV and V period of the Bronze Age only 15% are earlier (II and III period). The basic aim of the present study was to determine interrelations between the type of burial furnishings as well as sex and age of the buried individuals. One only can state that furnishings in grave were probably connected with social position of the dead. Possibly other rules were practiced in infants graves because part of them were richly equipped.

The multicultural site 1 at Michałowice has long attracted the attention of archaeologists. Since the 1950’s, artefacts attributed to the Przeworsk culture have been discovered from time to time in fields near the administrative border between the Michałowice and Ciuślice villages. This resulted in an initial, small-scale salvage excavation of the site, which revealed skeleton burials of the Lusatian culture, as well as skeleton and cremation burials attributed to the Przeworsk culture. The excavations conducted in 2008–2010 uncovered 53 archaeological features, attributed to the Trzciniec, Lusatian and Przeworsk cultures. Among the most remarkable discoveries were human and horse burials connected with the Trzciniec culture and the Early Roman Period groove-type features from the Przeworsk culture cemetery.

This study uses anthropological and forensic medical analyses to determine the cause of fractures found in the remains of 15 individuals buried at a site associated with the Globular Amphora Culture (2875-2670 BC). The intent was to determine the mechanism underlying the injuries and to indicate the types of tools that might have inflicted the blows. The fractures were diversified in their forms, but the majority of the injuries appear to have been inflicted by a flint axe, which is frequently found in graves of the Globular Amphora Culture. Apart from the forearm being severed in one of the victims, all the remaining skeletons showed from 1 to 4 injuries involving solely the skulls. The grave might contain victims attacked by invaders who executed the captives, or else the feature is ritual in character and it reflects the beliefs of the Neolithic community.

The grave of Bonawentura Kuźniczow, a Polish soldier who died in 1829, was found in one of the crypts in the cathedral in Łowicz. The preserved grave equipment can contribute to studies on the uniforms of the Polish Army uniforms during the Congress Kingdom of Poland. The reason why the soldier was buried in the collegiate church remains unknown. However, the conducted query contributed to the reconstruction of the Kuźniczów family tree. (tłum. Mariusz Górniak).

Grób Bonawentury Kuźniczowa, zmarłego w 1829 r. żołnierza Wojska Polskiego, został znaleziony w jednej z krypt katedry w Łowiczu. Zachowane wyposażenie grobu może uzupełnić studia nad umundurowaniem Wojska Polskiego okresu Królestwa Kongresowego. Powód, dla którego żołnierz został pochowany w ówczesnej kolegiacie, pozostaje nieznany. Przeprowadzona kwerenda stała się jednak przyczynkiem do odtworzenia drzewa genealogicznego rodziny Kuźniczowów.

Two additional niche graves of the Corded Ware Culture were discovered during the rescue archaeological works carried out in the year 2010 on site No 85 in Kraków-Mistrzejowice. The preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that in the feature 1307 there were buried two individuals: female at the age of death at iuvenis-adultus and child at the age of death at infans II, the sex was not established. The human remains that were found in the feature 1311 belonged to a man at the age at death of adultus (20–25 years old) with intra vitam body height of 170 cm. Discovered in grave goods especially pottery allow to date them to phase IIIb of the Corded Ware Culture development in Małopolska Upland

The remains of a heavily eroded Funnel Beaker tomb was discovered at Malżyce, site 31. At the centre of the excavation trench was the central burial with ditches, to the north and south of it, aligned W-E (features 2 and 3), and also, part of a broad depression — where earth was extracted and used to build up the burial mound (feature 7). To the east of the central burial were features 5 and 6, interpreted as elements belonging to the construction of the front end of the tomb. Feature 1, the central burial, was a stone structure, the grave pit held the remains of a maturus individual of undetermined sex. The absolute date obtained for the inhumation is 4765±35 BP which corresponds to 3641–3382 BC. These dates are compatible with the age estimated for the settlement finds attributedto the “classic phase” of development of the Funnel Beaker Culture in the loess upland of south-eastern Poland.

Primate A. I. Komorowski wanted his body to be laid in Łowicz and his entrails in Skierniewice. During the anthropological analysis of the skeleton, lesions and marks after the tissue removal were noticed. These observations were confirmed by written documents and iconographical sources. Combined, they formed the basis for the reconstruction of the Primate's face. The extraction of internal organs became the basis for tracing thanatological practices in Poland

Prymas A. I. Komorowski chciał, aby jego ciało zostało złożone w Łowiczu, a wnętrzności w Skierniewicach. Podczas analizy antropologicznej szkieletu zaobserwowano zmiany chorobowe oraz ślady po usunięciu tkanek miękkich. Obserwacje te znajdują potwierdzenie w źródłach pisanych i ikonograficznych; stały się też podstawą do rekonstrukcji twarzy prymasa. Ekstrakcja narządów wewnętrznych stała się podstawą do prześledzenia praktyk tanatopraktycznych w Polsce.

The results of archaeological research with an analysis of the ratio of stable oxygen isotopes 18O and 16O in human bones from the Corded Ware Culture were confronted. Radiocarbon dating of graves to approximately 2500–2400 B.C. reveals that the cemetery is chronologically homogeneous and represents a classic stage in the development of this culture. Pottery from graves nos 10–12 demonstrates characteristics linking Malżyce finds with the grave assemblages from the region of Kraków. Samples for lab analysis were selected in view of their localization, approximately same dating and differentiated age at death of the individuals. A reconstruction of parameters of the natural environment in the Sub-Boreal period was carried out based on an analysis of two animal bone samples from the Neolithic settlement site in Zawarża, district Pińczów, approximately 4 km northwest of the site in Malżyce. Analysis for diagenetic change of apatite excluded two not homogeneous samples. Based on the results of analysis it could be determined that the 40–45 year old man buried in grave 10 changed his environment during his lifetime. From the age of 5–8 to about 15 he lived in the area where his bones were found, then led a mobile life in an environment characterized by a different isotope composition. In the end, he returned to be buried in his native land. The child aged 1–1.5 years from grave 11 seems to have been breastfed, influencing significantly the results. Assuming his mother did not come from the studied region, the data suggests a non-local origin for this individual. Definite determination of the origins of this child and whether it was indeed breastfed will be possible only after a comparative analyses of isotopes of nitrogen, carbon and strontium in the same samples are made. Samples from the 11–12-year-old individual in grave 12 demonstrated similar ratios of oxygen isotopes, indicating that the individual did not leave the environment in which he had grown up, using continuously the same natural sources; no changes of lifestyle could be discerned.
