Abstract

A grave of an individual of the Maglemosian Culture, discovered in 2013 during the excavation of the Bolków site in Western Pomerania, is discussed in this article. The grave was dug into geological strata dated by the radiocarbon method and palynological analysis to the beginning of the Boreal period. Culturally and chronologically, the grave is associated with a vast Mesolithic campsite located in the vicinity. It is analyzed in terms of its burial form, and the religious beliefs and funerary rituals practiced by the members of this community, including a broadly understood cultural tradition. The feature was also compared with similar finds of Mesolithic date from other territories.
