Classical anthropological analysis of bone remains from part of the LaTène burial ground in Palárikovo, Dolné Križovany site. The Institue of Archaeology of SAS in Nitra carried out a rescue research on the site in 1970 – 1973. It was led by B. Benadík. From the total number of 95 uncovered burials, only seven contained cremated anthropological material. It is the most numerous and most complete collection of bone remains from the LaTène culture from Slovakia discovered so far. The anthropological analysis was applied to bone remains of 89 individuals. In men, medium skull construction prevailed as well as presence of forehead protuberances, reduced tuberculum marginale and tubera mentalia. Besides prevailing medium skulls, robust skulls of women occur. This tendency was more significant in creating a more robust relief of muscle insertions on skulls and in the tendency to ellipse shape and rounded iliums of foramen obturatum. The anthropological analysis is complemented with figures, tables and plates of measures and indices and basic statistical parameters. Male tendency to feminization was expressed in relatively short and subtle plates as well as in femur and tibia. Compared to men, women had rather wide faces and wide nasal foramen. The most probable conclusion from the detected differences in face proportions and in long bones of lower limbs is their different origin. Occurrence or frequency of anomalies and pathological changes in bones did not bring any new knowledge. Traces of cuts and fractures from perimortal period were recorded on bones of individuals from undisturbed burials. Values of primary analysis data in tables and figures are a precious source for further investigations.

The article presents the anthropological description skeletons of the Funnel Beaker Culture and the Corded Ware Culture inhabitants that were discovered in the tomb no. 2 on the site in Malzyce. The preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that in the grave 1 there was buried 2 individuals: female in the 'adultus' age and an adult individual. The location and arrangement of bones show that the woman was buried in the south part of pit and the adult individual in the northern part of it. In the grave 3 the preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that the grave contained remains of 2 individuals placed to the pit antipodally. In the west part of the grave was buried individual in the age 'adultus' whereas the individual in the age 'maturus' was located head to the east part of feature. The anthropological interpretation of skeleton buried in grave 4 was possible only during excavations. Sex and age of the individual were not determined. In the grave 10 the skeleton was laid on the bottom of the niche, deposited on its back, orientated NW-SE. The preserved elements of the skeleton show that remnants belonged to a male in age at death 'maturus' (40-45 years) and stature 177,6 cm. The discovered in grave 11 skeleton was deposited orientated along N-S axis, on right side head to the south. On the basis of preserved teeth and fragments of bones it was possible to determine that it was a child in the age at death 'infans' I (1-1,5 years), sex was not determined. The skeleton in grave 12 was laid on its back with the head and legs tilted to the left. The body was N-S orientated, with the head placed to the north. On the basis of dental development and preserved elements of postcranial skeleton it could be determined that it was the individual in the age at death 'infans' II (11-12 years).

The article presents the anthropological description skeletons of the Bell Beaker Culture inhabitants that were discovered on the Site no. 6 in Pelczyska. The preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that in the feature 12/2005 there was buried a child whose age at death was infans I (5-6 years old), in the feature 13/2005 a child whose age at death was infans I (about 2 years old) and in the feature 25/2004 - a child whose age death was infans I (about 1 year old). Skulls of these individuals had not yet achieved their final dimensions so it is difficult to compare them with other Neolith and Early Bronze Age populations inhabiting the territory of Poland.

The article presents the anthropological description skeletons of the Corded Ware Culture inhabitants that were discovered in Mistrzejowice. The preserved fragments of skeletons allow to assess that in the feature 29 there was buried an individual at the age at death of adultus-maturus, the sex was not established. The human remains that were found in the feature 125 belonged to a man at the age at death of adultus (25-30 years old) with intra vitam body height of 165-166 cm.

The remains found in Gnaty-Lewiski belong to a single individual. The state of preservation and skeleton fossility were mediocre, postdepositional breakage of the bones occurring due to soil and root pressure. The long bones and cranium were measured according to Martin's technique (R. Martin, K. Saller 1957). Cranioscopic and nonmetric traits were also described (K. Piasecki 1992; J. Piontek 1999). All observed diagnostic skeleton traits suggest a female. The woman died at the age of about 18-21 years (iuvenis/adultus). Her body height, based on long bone measurement, was about 160 cm. The young age, height, lack of pathological changes in the skeleton and good dentition are indirect proof of health and good overall condition at the time of death.

The article presents the anthropological description conducted for object 2537 in Modlniczka, site 2. Burnt bones from this object did not constitute any visible concentrations; their dispersion within 5 levels of exploration was more less even, therefore, strictly mechanical segregation of the material was employed. Due to anthropological analysis it was evaluated that the object contained remains of 55 individuals at least and this is the smallest possible number of buried individuals (MNI). Object 2537 in Modlniczka should be considered as an ossuarium, emerged during a single act of bones deposition, being at the same time one of the element of complex funeral rites.

In the cadastre of Žitavany, distr. Zlaté Moravce, was in 1979 – 1983 excavated by archaeological research urnfield burial ground from the late and final Bronze Age. 77 graves were examined (six of them were symbolic, without bone remains).We were able to analyse burnt remains of bones just from 34 graves (30 were in urns, four in pits). 66 indivials were buried in 23 simple graves (two of them were double burials) and 11 in multiple graves (including seven double burials).Studied part of population consisted of 31 non-adult individuals, 13 individuals with estimated age as juvenile to adult and 22 adult individuals.

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.

This contribution presents osteo-anthropological analysis of individuals from archaeological excavations of the defunct medieval church (13th – 15th century) from Radoľa (dist. Kysucké Nové Mesto) carried out in 2013. The osteo-anthropological material belonged to three male, one likely male, five female, five non-adult individuals and one adult individual of undetermined gender. In this study, we focused on basic anthropological characteristics of cranial and post-cranial skeletons. We evaluated epigenetic marks and paleo-pathological signs of skeletal remains.
