| Description | In 2019, during archaeological rescue excavations preceding the construction of the Slatiňany bypass, two inhumation graves dating back to the 5th century AD (stages D2 and D3 of the Migration Period) were discovered. The aim of the paper is to present the results of comprehensive interdisciplinary cooperation (anthropology, archaeozoology, metallography, genetics, textile studies, and chemical, elemental, and isotope analyses). The study focuses on the status of the deceased, contacts during the Migration Period and their importance within the Vinařice group and Central Europe. The graves belong to the Vinařice group, including its late phase, and their equipment testifies to supra-regional contacts in the second half of the 5th century. They may represent part of a larger burial site. |
