Description Skeletal remains of two females (H1 and H2a) were examined, remains of a newborn (H2b) were found with the second female. Female H1 died at the age of 30-35, female H2a was aged 35-40. Both females were gracile with distinct muscle topography. The stature was estimated at 148.8 and 146.1 cm, both females were the shortest of all examined individuals from Moravian Lgk period. Both females have delivered. Enamel hypoplasia and Harris lines show evidence of stress experienced by both individuals during growth and development. The health condition of Female H2a was poorer than that of Female H1. She suffered from iron deficiency and her left ulna was broken and healed with pseudoarthrosis. Both female skeletons show evidence of the physical activity (distinct muscle topography, Schmorl nodes, osteophytes).
