Abstract:The present work attempts to reconstruct the kin structure and place of origin of the population using the cemetery in Dziekanowice, site 2. While the latter issue was not resolved due to very limited anthropometric data available, significant were the regularities in qualitative-quantitative and spatial distribution of such features as sex and age of individuals, geographical orientation of the graves, their deviation from the E-W axis and their equipment. The regularities indicate the family character of the cemetery, where the female graves of the wives of the family members were oriented differently than those of their husbands (heads towards west, similarly as the graves of the men from outside the local community). That supports the earlier hypothesis, frequently verified (cf. literature), that different orientation of graves in the early-Medieval cemeteries in Poland is a highly probable indicator of different family origins in the kin groups of patrilineal succession of kinship and of patrilocal marriage site
