The anthropological examination of the skeleton from Feature 128 followed standard research methodology (White, Folkens 2005). The preserved remains indicate a delicate cranial structure with a broad forehead, high orbits, and a narrow nose, consistent with a female aged 16–18 (iuvenis). Skeletal indicators also confirm the individual’s sex, and the postcranial skeleton includes both upper and lower limb bones, showing epiphyseal fusion in progress, consistent with the age estimation. The strontium isotopic ratio (87Sr/86Sr) measured in the first molar’s enamel suggests the individual was local, matching regional environmental isotopic signatures (0.709353±0.000009) (Bełka et al. 2022). This study contributes to understanding local population mobility and biological characteristics in southeastern Poland during the Neolithic period.
