In the fall of 2009, a rescue excavation of a section of Modern period graveyard at the All Saints church in the Metylovice village took place. In all, 28 certain and 4 possible skeleton graves were discovered. On the basis of pottery fragments it may be assumed the graves date to the end of 18th or the 19th century. Anthropological analysis made it possible to reconstruct the age at death of most skeletons. The sex and stature of most individuals, however, were impossible to estimate due to poor preservation of the skeletons.

Skeletal remains of 20 individuals: 3 men, 2 probably men, 8 women and 7 juveniles from cemetery Mostová (10th century), position Doboskút, distr. Galanta, were subjected by osteoanthropological analysis. The remains discovered in archaeological excavation were damaged by activity of building mechanisms. The study was focused on morphological, osteometrical analysis, paleopathological screening and detection of epigenetic traits.

19 individuals (10 non-adults and 8 adults – including four women, three men, one adult and one unspecified individual) were identified during the analysis of 23 graves. Most of them, nine skeletal remains belonged to children aged 0.6 – 15 years and eight to older adults aged 30 – 59 years. Women died younger than men and all adults are older than 30 years. Their skulls appear to be long to very long, and narrow to very narrow, while they are similar to the Early Bronze Age skulls from other sites. Five women and a man have moderately robust arm bones, robust radii and moderately robust femora. According to the height calculated for six adults, they were all, except two women, tall. Cribra orbitalia occurred in three non-adult individuals. One child had injured skull, another one had deformed the left elbow joint and shortened the right femur. An increased number of dental caries (at least four) occurred in seven adult individuals. Even on the skulls of two adults, there were visible injuries. Other abnormalities or pathological changes occur only sporadically.
