Together with a brief history of Pyrzyce and the Franciscan monastery, anthropological, paleopathological and demographic analysis is presented of skeletons discovered in the ruins of the church adjacent to the monastery and likely to date to the 17th century. The location of the skeletons – most of them were in a shared grave and with a distinctive distribution of age at death of individuals (Tab. 1) – suggests that the dead were buried in haste, probably during an epidemic or an armed conflict. Because of a bad state of the preservation of the human remains, it can only be stated that most males have short skulls, medium broad faces, broad noses and low orbits, whereas females’ skulls are in majority medium long (Tab. 2, 3). Differences in males and females body height correspond to those that are generally stated in other historical human populations (Tab. 4, 5). Health condition examined individuals is hard to determine (Tab. 6) – for 31 skeletons pathological changes could be identified in ten cases. As in the majority of burial sequences, e.g. those from Eastern Pomerania, degenerative and inflammatory lesions are in majority. In addition rare cases of developmental anomalies and post-traumatic lesions occurred. On the basis of the results obtained, it can be assumed that, with regard to some morphological features and diseases, people from Pyrzyce differed slightly from people who lived in other parts of Pomerania.
