A first toast in Kuyavia: New evidence for drinking rituals in Neolithic Europe from Sławęcinek, Poland
Excavations at Sławęcinek in central Poland, have yielded evidence for the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture, concurrent with a sweeping set of changes that occurred across much of Europe in the mid-fourth millennium BC. A set of vessels containing collared flasks, ceramic glasses and a beaker were found, demonstrating that libations of lactose-reduced dairy beverages were performed between 3500–3350 BC. One of the vessels, a funnel beaker, feature…
Once again about ‘missing’ cremated skeletal remains. An example of a cemetery in Raczkowice in the context of transformations of funerary rituals of the Przeworsk culture in the Younger and Late Roma…
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contents of cremation pit graves, urns and pyre sites from the cemetery of the Przeworsk Culture in Raczkowice from an osteological perspective, which is related to the issue of the small number of burnt skeletal remains. The collection was analysed in terms of weight, state of preservation, anatomical differentiation and frequency of different skeletal parts, addressing the question of whether the skeleta…
Differences in the lifestyle of young women and men during the Covid-19 pandemic in Central Poland

Primary double teeth in archeological medieval material from the area of Poland: A report on two cases
The aim of this study was to investigate primary double teeth in archeological material from the area of Poland and a brief review of the literature on the subject. Two cases of fusion of anterior primary teeth in two infants from past populations living in eastern (8th–9th cent. CE) and southern (15th cent. CE) parts of Poland are presented. A macroscopic as well as a radiographic assessment of the teeth was performed, which, in case 1, included…
Morphology and morphometry of frontal sinuses as a tool in sex determination based on 17th-18th century skulls from Poland
Morphological analysis of the frontal sinuses (FS) is one of the methods used to assess the sex of human remains. Depending on the methods, the results indicate the effectiveness of using the FS in the assessment of sex at the level of 60-85.9%. Our goal was to determine whether the morphological and morphometric methods of sex assessment based on the FS can be used for examining historical populations in anthropological studies. We assessed FS b…

Associations between Sleep Duration and Anthropometric Indices of Adiposity in Female University Students
Both too long and too short sleep increases the risk of overweight, obesity and abdominal obesity and, as a consequence, the risk of metabolic syndrome in young women
Analiza antropologiczna szczątków kostnych pochodzących z grobu skrzynkowego kultury pomorskiej ze stanowiska nr 1 w Kręcieszkach, gm. Bedlno, pow. Kutno, woj. łódzkie
During the rescue research carried out in 1987, a box grave of Pomeranian culture dating back to the Hallstatt D. Found in it, in addition to numerous attachments and lids 36 large vessels, including 23 typical, referred to as urns. Bone remains were preserved only in 21 vessels. Anthropological analysis has shown that human bones come from 21 people, that is, 11 children (under 6 years), 2 children in infans II age (6–14 years), 7 adults (3 men,…
Socioeconomic factors and lifestyle affecting the variability of menstrual cycle characteristics in women from Central Poland
Regularity, length of the cycle and duration of menstrual flow are a reflection of women health. The purpose of the research was to assess the relationships between socioeconomic status, cycle length, duration of menses, regularity and dysmenorrhea. A survey was conducted among 896 healthy women from Łódź and Warsaw (Poland), aged 15.71–26.98. Women who were menarche at least 3 years ago were asked to complete the survey. Women were asked about c…
Influence of socioeconomic factors during adolescence on the menarcheal age in Central Poland girls
The purpose of the project was to indication the environmental factors that may influence on the menarcheal age in girls of Central Poland. The study was conducted in Warsaw and Lodz between 2016 and 2017 among subjects of randomly selected high schools, schools for adults, and workplaces. The material included 752 subjects between the ages of 16.00 and 29.23 years (mean age was 20.99 years). The questionnaire form provided information on the pla…
Periodontitis in the historical population of Radom (Poland) from the 11th to 19th centuries
Periodontitis can be an excellent indirect source of data on the general and oral health, dietary habits, and hygiene of past populations. This study assessed periodontitis in the population of Radom from the 11th century up to the industrial revolution in the 19th century. The dental material was divided into 3 historical series: the Early Medieval (EMP; 11th century), Late Medieval (LMP; 14th-17th century), and Modern (MP; 18th-19th century) pe…
Exploring the association between body mass index and dental caries in 3–7-year-old children, living in Łódź, Poland
Dental caries and childhood obesity are major problems affecting the health of children and preventing these conditions in children have been recognized as public health priorities (Hong et al. 2008; Odgien et al. 2010). The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between age-specific body mass index (BMI-for age) and dental caries in 3- to 7-year-olds. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 729 children from randomly chosen kin…
Cervical Spine Anomalies: Children in One of the Oldest Churches in Poland
This paper presents pathological changes indicative of type II Klippel-Feil syndrome identified in the skeleton of a child uncovered in one of the oldest Christian churches in Poland (first half of the 11th century) with the archaeological layer containing the burial dated to the 13th-15th centuries.

The first cohort involved 1,008 female secondary-school students, the…
Prenatal factors associated with the neonatal line thickness in human deciduous incisors
Accentuated lines in the enamel of primary incisors from skeletal remains: A contribution to the explanation of early childhood mortality in a medieval population from P oland
Physiological disruptions resulting from an impoverished environment during the first years of life are of key importance for the health and biological status of individuals and populations. Studies of growth processes in archaeological populations point to the fact that the main causes of childhood mortality in the past are to be sought among extrinsic factors. Based on this assumption, one would expect random mortality of children, with the dec…
Mycolic Acids as Markers of Osseous Tuberculosis in the Neolithic Skeleton from Kujawy Region (Central Poland)
The subject of analysis is the male skeleton from a double burial of the Globular Amphora Culture, derived from the Neolithic site at Brześć Kujawski in Kujawy region (central Poland). Within the spine of the individual advanced lesions are observed (destruction of the vertebral bodies, symptoms of the periostitis in the thoracic region) which are characteristic of skeletal tuberculosis. To check whether the observed morphological changes resulte…
