The paper presents the characteristics of burials of children in the Funnel Beaker (FBC) and Globular Amphora cultures (GAC) in the Lublin region. Only in two cases the remains of children were discovered in FBC settlements. In both cultures, in addition to the graves grouped on cemeteries, there were also single burials. Graves frequently had various constructions (usually stone), but also those of earth and graves without any at all were discovered. In FBC burials, the age groups of the same relative abundances, and thereby the largest, are a group of children – Infans I (1-7 years) and a group of adults – Adultus (20-30 years), while in GAC it is a group of adults – Adultus. A significant deficiency of the burials of children in both cultures was found by comparing their empirical proportion with expected attendance. The differences between FBC and GAC in cumulative distributions of relative abundances of different age groups, assessed by use of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, proved to be statistically insignificant at this stage of the research. In both cultures more children were buried in multiple graves. In the case of FBC the children were buried in a supine position, with the head facing west, while in the GAC they were found on their side, with the head facing west or south-east. Only a few, single burials of FBC children, in contrast to multiple burials, contained grave goods. In GAC most single and multiple burials contained grave goods.

After having finished the excavation in a zone located west of the Step Pyramid and spanning the area between the pyramid enclosure wall and the eastern border of the Dry Moat, the Polish–Egyptian mission started a new project aiming at a complex investigation of the Dry Moat. A geophysical survey of the area and excavations during these two campaigns focused on the east and west rock-hewn walls of the Moat, thus completing earlier research done in this part of the excavation field. A further part of the Upper Necropolis, containing simple burials from the Ptolemaic period, was unearthed and the exploration of the tomb inscribed for Ikhi/Mery and his namesake son was continued. Clearing the facade of the latter led to the discovery of another funerary structure cut in the rock below the general’s tomb. The floor of the upper tomb turned out to be the ceiling of the lower one. Preparations for the exploration of the new structure were made in 2014.
