Elżbieta Haduch (K raków) , Anita Szczepanek (Kraków) ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF SKELETONS OF LUBLIN-VOLHYNIAN CULTURE FROM KSIĄŻNICE, SITE 2,

The anthropological analysis concerns human skeletons from graves No 2 (object 9a) and No 4 (object 9) of Lublin-Volhynian Culture (L-VC) from Książnice, site 2, archaeologi-cally described by Stanisław Wilk in this volume. Grave 2 (object 9a/2002) The pit of this grave was partly damaged through the niche grave of Złota Culture. The skeleton discovered on the depth 50-80 cm was deposited in contracted position on left side. It was preserved completely but there are some traces of mechanical secondary damage. The skull (Fig. la, b) was gentle built, greatly elongated (cranial index = 65.1), high (height — length index = 75.4) and well vaulted (breadth — height index = 115.7). It pos-sessed the prominent occiput, bulged in superior part of squama (Tab. 1). The forehead infirmly inclined, broad (fronto — parietal index = 71.6), superciliary arches noted faintly near glabella. Frontal tubers faintly prominent, situated closely each other. Mastoid pro-cesses are small. The occiput poorly carved, in the region of point inion one can notice depression. In the lambda point there are small ossicula intersaturalia. On the left part of the squama of occipital bone visible traces of sutura mendosa separating its superior and inferior part. Cranial sutures are not obliterated. Occipital condyles were not fully ossified. Tubercula marginalia of the zygomatic bones hardly developed. Maxillar incisuras are arcwise, canine fossas are shallow. Maxilla is faintly prognathic, broad (bimaxillary — up-per facial index = 70.0), orbits average (orbital index = 80.0), broad nose (nasal index = 51.1). Mandible possesses slimly prominent mentum, as well as low, gentle rami and deep digas-tric fossa. The permanent teeth are preserved (post mortem lack: I1 of right side of maxilla, C of left side of maxilla, I1 of left side of mandibula), but in alveoli of maxilla and mandibula there are germs of M3, the P2 of right side of mandibula is partly erupted.
