From the bioarchaeological and morphofunctional point of view, a skeletal deformity is described from an individual buried in a settlement pit at an archaeological site Třebčín in Moravia dating from the period of the Great Moravian (AD 800-950). Macroscopic and radiological examinations are employed to diagnose pathological leasions on the skeleton of an adult female. Female was probably affected by a haematogenous form of acute osteomyelitis from early neonatal age., Anna Pankowská., and Obsahuje bibliografii
In 2018, during a rescue archaeological excavation taking place in one of the gardens of Staré Město near Uherské Hradiště, 23 early medieval graves containing skeletal remains of 26 individuals were detected. The site is situated on the northern border of the well-known Great Moravian burial ground ‘Na Valách’. In a large number of the newly excavated graves, greater or lesser deviations from the usual funeral rite were recorded. While the established burial rite in Great Moravian society means the deceased lies on their back in the supine position with extended extremities and head towards the west, here we found skeletons in very different orientations, lying in a prone or crouched position, or, at least, with unusual positions of their upper or lower limbs. Additionally, some of the graves contained incomplete or no skeletons. There is also one double burial and a triple burial, and several graves in superpositions. In nine graves, objects of material culture were found, the most important of them come from the rider’s grave 20/2018. The presented study aims to interpret the burial contexts using the bioarchaeological approach, which is, however, affected by the quality of the preserved finds, especially skeletal remains.
