The author describes osseous materials obtained in terms of rescue excavations, at site 12 in Kolonia Depultycze Nowe, Lubelskie province, conducted in 2006 by Andrzej Bronicki from Chelm Museum. An investigated feature belonged to the people of the Globular Amphora culture. An anatomical order of poorly preserved bones in the grave-pit was strongly disturbed. The grave contained a burial of an adult man at the age of about 30-40 years. The intravital body height of the individual under study, reconstructed according to K. Pearson' technique was estimated on about 169 cm.
The author presents the Globular Amphora Culture box grave in Kolonia Depultycze Nowe in the Eastern Poland (Eastern Lublin Region). The grave represents the Podolia type. It contained uncomplete rests of one adult man. The equipment consisted of amber's beads (6 pieces), one retouched shaving of flint of the Volhynia raw material, one tool of the boar's fang, fragments of one or a few vessels and 3 fragments of cattle bones. The object was robbed in the indefinited past. The analysis of the construction and contents allow connecting it with the Eastern Lublin group. The grave was built about 2500 BC.
Presented paper discusses results of study of Globular Amphora Culture assemblage acquired during rescue excavations carried out at Domaslaw - site 35 (Kobierzyce commune, Wroclaw district, dolnoslaskie voivodship) in 2007. Analysis based on methodological pattern inspired by research of Kuyavian GAC province is complemented by detailed analyses of bone remains and lithic artifacts - despite small size of respective assemblages results are valuable for studies on GAC in Lower Silesia. Confrontation of problem studies allowed cresting conceivably complete picture of a small - probably single-phased - GAC bearers' settlement, used in yearly (?) cycle of residential mobility emphasizing seasonal aspect of subsistence activities. Authors of the study managed to discern four functional areas of the settlement. Critical view on studies over GAC chronology in Lower Silesia is expressed. Authors suggest detailing traditional scheme of regional chronology by synchronization with other GAC provinces - mainly by study of ornaments of fairly precise horizon of occurrence, and applying additional procedures of cross-dating (in this case presented study serves as a pre-test for possibility of such conduct). Complex chronological analyses (setting chronology of the assemblage at 2700-2450 BC) were verified by absolute (radiocarbon) dating.
