Archaeology is a discipline that interprets the past; therefore, it is not common practice to use archaeology and archaeological methods in police or forensic investigation. In Slovakia, archaeologists are called to attend the body scene of skeletonized remains in some regions only rarely and that can often lead to the destruction of historical heritage or desecration of human remains. Such handling of human remains is visible on the case report discussed in the article, where unknown culprits disposed human remains from their original unknown place. Forensic archaeology is commonly used in such cases in the United Kingdom, where it is also commonly taught as a separate discipline in universities. The establishment of the field of forensic medicine or training proper authorities dealing with these cases is indeed needed in Slovakia to prevent further destruction of historically important remains and sites.

The osteoarchaeological study analyses and attempts to interpret an unusual find from an Early Bronze Age settlement burial in Zbehy (Nitra district, Slovakia). An artefact made of hollow bone shafts of birds and a hare was discovered on the face of a female aged 35–45 years. The woman probably suffered from chronic rhinosinusitis and severe dental problems, implying that the artefact may have served as a face mask. Due to the lack of archaeological analogies, the interpretation of the function of the artefact from Zbehy remains open for discussion.
