Abstract:

This paper presents the anthropological analysis of skeletons from four Zlota culture graves. Grave 1 contained the bones of three individuals, most of which were randomly scattered. Grave 2 contained the remains of four individuals, of which the skull of an infans II has scorch marks and skulls of other individuals have visible perimortem damage that could have been caused during funeral rituals. Grave 3 contains bones of at least eight individuals, including three adult females and five children, some of them arranged anatomically, some of them randomly scattered. The skulls of one female and infans II had been scorched, and certain long bones of those individuals were also damaged. Grave 4 contained a complete skeleton of iuvenis female. The damaged skulls from Książnice may be evidence of violence reported for the Neolithic period, as well as an example of intentional procedures to which cadavers were subjected
