Abstract

Archaeological investigations conducted in 2023 at Orły, Site 4, in the Subcarpathian loess region, revealed a niche grave associated with the Corded Ware culture. Inside, the remains of two adult men were found, accompanied by a rich assemblage of grave goods, including ceramic vessels, lithic tools, and a bone awl. This article presents the results of the analysis of the grave’s construction, osteological material, and grave goods, relating them to the cultural and chronological issues of the Final Eneolithic communities in the 3rd millennium BC.
