This paper presents four Złota Culture (ZC) niche graves from site 2 in Książnice, and discusses the chronology of the cemetery based on both radiocarbon dates obtained for all the burials and analysis of the ceramics. Separate articles published in this volume deal with the anthropological, archaeozoological and palaeobotanical analyses of the prehistoric material from the site. The ceramic inventories from the graves at Książnice lack CWC characteristics suggesting that graves 1, 2 and 4 ZC belong to the very beginnings of the classical phase of the ZC, when CWC features, including imported pottery, had not yet appeared. Moreover, there are no references to the Baden Culture in the assemblage discussed here. Grave 3 ZC, with pure GAC pottery should be considered as the oldest one, dating to the early phase of the ZC

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
