The Anthropology of the cemetery by the Basilica of St. Lawrence at Vyšehrad
Stránská, Petra
During archaeological excavation at the Basilica of St Lawrence at Vyšehrad, the skeletal remains of 22 individuals were withdrawn under the direction of Dr. B. Nechvátal in 1971. Some of the remains were found in graves, some were identified in the spoil and collected material and were dated to the 11th-13th centuries. Of the whole collection, 10 were non-adult and 12 adult. Of the latter, 8 were male, 2 female and 2 indeterminable.The average age at death of the adult was 42.1 years. We noted not only common pathological finds. Most interesting of all, perhaps, were traces of force evident upon a male skull from the fill of grave 5, probably representing tha cause of death.
