The archaeological site Vyšná Myšľa - Koscelek is located in the southeast of the Slovak Republic, and it is peculiar by its location in the middle of the woods near a thermal spring. Burials could be dated to the 13 th to 14 th centuries based on the presence of the ruins of the church, albeit the funeral practices could last until the 18 th century. A total of 53 individuals were examined, in whom the age at death, sex and stature were morphoscopically and metric estimated by standard anthropological methods, and the presence of non-metric traits and pathological conditions was also recorded. The analysed group consisted of 40 adults and 4 adolescents, of which 16 were women and 2 possible females, 19 men and one probable male individual, three individuals of inconclusive sex and six individuals of unknown sex because of bad preservation of the human remains. The group of nonadults consisted of 6 children. Pathological conditions were present and recorded in 32% of 53 evaluated individuals. Due to the lack of historical written sources, this analysis represents an important study for the reconstruction of the life of historical population living in this area. |
