The anthropological analysis was performed on skeletons of the Corded Ware culture and the Trzciniec culture, discovered in the mound from Gabultów. In a central grave it has been established that the fragmentarily preserved remnants belonged to an individual of the Adultus age, of indeterminate sex. In a niche grave there were buried three individuals: in the centre of the niche laid down the skeleton of the Maturus age, most probably a male of the intravital body height ca. 166 cm. The remnants that were laid on the back, the head being orientated northward belonged to an individual of the infans I/II age (6-7-year-old), of indeterminate sex and the remnants that have the head orientated southward belonged to an individual of the infans I age (3-4-year-old), of indeterminate sex. In a grave of the Trzciniec culture (feature 4) there survived bone fragments of an adult individual of indeterminate sex and in feature 5 the remnants belonged to an individual of the Juvenis age, of indeterminate sex.

The anthropological analysis of a skeleton of the Lublin-Volhynia Culture from Ksiaznice displays that human bones belong to a man, ca. 55-60 years old and an intravital body height of ca. 167-169 cm. Taking account of numerous, generalized generative-productive changes, strong development of muscle attachments and thus some groups of muscles, it may be assumed that the individual under study was probably engaged in intensive physical work.

During the excavation carried out on site 6 in Zakrzowiec in 2004 on the route of the intended Motorway A4, a fragmentarily preserved anthropomorphic figurine was found in a vast clay pit. The figurine was found in the base part of the upper fill layer of feature 416, on the depth of 90-100 cm. The artifacts depicts surrealistically a female with the thin, well pronounced waist and the well-modelled breasts. The body survived, but the arms are missing (they were probably spread out in the orantes gesture). An oblong, fine depression on the back of the figurine probably indicates the spinal column. The buttocks are slightly asymmetric, while the legs are preserved only in their upper parts. The figurine was made of clay with a fine-grained mineral temper, brown (partially black-brown) in colour. Its dimensions are: the preserved height 44 mm, width at arms 32 mm, width at hips 24 mm, thickness 15 mm. The pottery material from the vicinity of the figurine is numerous but very poorly preserved. There are fragments of hollow-pedestalled beakers and of pottery ornamented with knobs beneath the rim and on the belly. There are also parts of short neck vessels and wide-opening vessels with notched rim bending outwards (the so called sand pottery) related to the salt extracting process. In considerations on cultural and chronological affiliation of the figurine one should take into account the place where the artifact was found, its context, and analogies from other sites. The pottery material from the vicinity of the figurine is typical for the Pleszów group of the Lengyel culture and suggests a probable cultural-chronological affiliation of the figurine. Females' Neo­lithic figurines are interpreted as symbols of procreation and vital power of the reviving nature.

The teeth were obtained from individuals representing Corded Ware and Trzciniec culture buried in the mound from Gabultów. The odontologic material under analysis is scanty, but since the mound was used as a burial site by representatives of different culture groups, it may be treated as an example of pilot model studies.The results of the present research may testify to two processes. Firstly, there can be observed a distinct chronological variability in relation to the concentrations of Sr and the Sr/Ca ratio, regarded as good indicators of the organism's nutrition. Secondly an analysis of three individuals (infans I, infans II, maturus) buried in a niche grave (KCS: feature 2), points to a radical and significant change in their eating habits. A significant increase in the Sr/Ca ratio may speak for both qualitative and quantitative changes in the proportions of the consumed food in respect of the increased amount of low-calcium products (plants) in the diet and, most probably, huge elimination of milk, milk-derived foods and maybe animal protein at the expense of products derived from plant crops.
