The funeral rite in the Masurian Lakeland in the early Middle Ages is still a mystery. Until the turn of seventh and eighth century, this area was inhabited by people of the Olsztyn group, who practised cremation. However, there are no recognised late eighth to tenth-century burial grounds. Recent research at the stronghold in Pasym revealed eviden...

Although caves have been used for funerary purposes almost since the dawn of time, there is very little evidence of such use in Central European Barbaricum. This paper presents newly obtained results from the Cracow Upland (southern Poland) concerning multiple skeletal remains that apparently share a similar third-fifth centuries AD chronology, cor...

Human remains discovered during excavations at the Pasym stronghold consisted of unburned and cremated fragments. Although the bones were mostly fragmented, skeletal remains that did not undergo fire exposure were identified during archaeozoological analysis. Therefore, the aim of the analysis was to confirm the presence of human remains in bones c...

Funeral and ritual practices in cave sites during the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age have been recognised in multiple sites south of the Carpathians. This paper presents the first evidence for the funeral and ritual use of cave sites with such chronology north of the Carpathians. Unburned human remains dated to Ha B and Ha C/D have been identif...

Although multiple Mesolithic cave sites have been recognised in Europe, the use of such sites by Early Holocene hunter gatherers was extremely scarce north of the Carpathians. Single Mesolithic artefacts have been found thus far only in six cave sites in Poland. The rich Early Mesolithic assemblage found in Bramka Rockshelter in southern Poland see...

Cave burials are generally absent from historical periods in Europe. Consequently, the discovery of a post-medieval inhumation of a child buried with at least one bird head placed in the mouth in Tunel Wielki Cave (southern Poland) is an exceptional find. The aim of this paper is to discuss this unique burial based on multiproxy analyses conducted...

This paper presents the trilobate arrowhead of Sarmatian origin found in 2014 in Podlesie, Oleśnica district, site 6 by the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, conducted under the guidance of Artur Grabarek. It was found in a Przeworsk culture grave (feature 109) together with weapons, tools, pottery and costume...

A sample of six cremated graves from the Lusatian Culture cemetery from Podlesie, site 5, has been subjected to a spatial analysis aimed at recognising anatomical provenance of bone fragments within the layers of the urn burial. Even though individual features have shown damage ranging from slight to severe, most of the burials have shown an indica...

This project aims to reconstruct the settlement patterns and palaeoenvironment of the Sąspów Valley in the Polish Jura by combining unpublished archaeological fieldwork with results of recent excavations at 13 cave sites.

Dissertation presents research on human response to cold climate, exemplified by the skeleton of the nasal cavity. The thesis is organized into two parts of roughly equal size: first a thorough literature review and background presentation, then the experimental research itself, augmented by frequent referral to the first part and complemented by g...

Directional asymmetry in upper limb bones was studied in a sample of human remains excavated at a medieval cemetery located near the monastery Deir an-Naqlun, Egypt. Humeri, ulnae, radii and clavicles of 97 adult individuals (mostly males) were measured and Directional Asymmetry and Absolute Asymmetry values were counted for maximum lengths, diaphy...
