title: Disease in the neolithic population of the Lengyel culture (4300-4000 B.C.) from the Kujawy region in north-central Poland.
abstract: In this paper the skeletal sample from Osłonki near Włocławek (Kujawy region) is analysed. It is dated back to 4300-4000 B.C. The material consists of skeletal remains of 92 individuals (being one of the largest samples from the neolithic period in Poland). Skeletons were examined for the presence of congenital malformation, traumatic and degenerative changes, diseases of the masticatory system, and cribra orbitalia. Some interesting results have been achieved by comparing the incidences of diseases regarding sex groups: pathological alterations were observed with greater frequency in male than female skeletons.
