Sažetak
During the archaeological research in Lobor in 2011, three different time phases of the cemetery burials were defined at the east, outer part of the shrine of Our Lady of the Mountain.The third, youngest and most intriguing burial phase includes individual burials, the graves of five persons which were dug over an earlier stage. The bodies were placed in contracted or semi-contracted position of the arms and legs into the burial pits, with orientation east-west. Similar rituals have not been previously recorded at that site. Datation of this homogenous group is the second half of the 11th century. The anthropological analysis has been performed for each skeleton: determination of sex, age at death, body height and description of musculoskeletal stress markers. Pathological changes visible in bones were both radiologically and histologically analysed. Skeletal and dental material from each grave was sampled for ancient DNA analysis, which was made to gain information of the possible kinship. DNA based kinship analysis within family group, chromosome DNA (STR DNA), was extracted using the standard forensic DNA extraction kit, 24plex qs.
