“…It is certain, however, that another person was buried a dozen metres away from the discussed funerary feature (also in a niche grave, but linked with the early phase of the Kraków-Sandomierz group of the Corded Ware culture). Along with the recently published graves from Sandomierz (Bajka et al 2018) and Święcica (Bajka and Sieradzka 2019), the feature from Kleczanów considerably enriches the corpus of sources associated with the funerary rituals of the Złota culture across the Sandomierz Upland and, owing to the acquisition of another absolute date ( 14 C), the chronology of this archaeological culture. The fact that the two accidentally discovered graves, one associated with the Złota culture and the other one linked with the Corded Ware culture, are located in close proximity to one another indicates that they are part of a multicultural Neolithic necropolis.…”

In 2014, a niche grave linked with the Złota culture was accidentally discovered in Kleczanów (Sandomierz district, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship). An approximately 25-year-old man was inhumed inside. He was crippled: one of his legs was shorter as a result of an improperly healed fracture. His body was subjected to magical rituals. For example, his skull was separated from the rest of the body and placed in a stone-lined cache. The grave inventory was composed of at least three vessels (a mug with a handle and two amphorae), two bone plaques (belt elements), a bone awl, and a flint arrowhead, as well as animal bones (a pig mandible, limb bones of the following animals: roe deer, medium-sized bird, and sheep or goat). A 14C date obtained from a bone fragment allows us to date the grave to the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC.

The grave of the Globular Amphora culture from site 2 in Koszyce, near Kraków, has already been the subject of a separate monograph and specialised analyses. This article addresses the chronology of the mass burial, resulting from a comparison of 23 radiocarbon dates obtained in three laboratories. The chronometric data were then juxtaposed with the results of isotopic analyses of strontium (87Sr/86Sr), carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N). The analysis of the results indicates that the burial from Koszyce should most likely be dated to around 2880–2870 BC, which is slightly earlier than assumed in previous studies. It comes from a time when the Final Eneolithic barrow communities of the Corded Ware culture had already been present in the loess uplands of western Lesser Poland, and the burial ritual of some of the GAC groups was evolving towards the ritual of the Złota culture. The similar dating of these cultural phenomena makes it difficult to determine which community was responsible for the mass murder committed at Koszyce.
