Description Final report of the standard anthropological and paleopathological analyses of the remains of 54 individuals (39 adult and 15 immature skeletons) dating to the 9th-10th centuries AD came from the Slavonic burial site at Olomouc-Nemilany (Czech Republic). From the total number of all the pathological cases 46% were degenerative changes of joints in the form of vertebral spondylosis and arthrosis of large joints of the limbs. Metabolic and endocrine diseases made up 23%, congenital bone anomalies represented 10%, traumatic lesions made about 8% and inflammatory processes only 5% of all pathological cases. The most important finding was the evidence of tumour metastase on one of the skeletons. This investigation includes also study of Slavonic funeral rites.
