Archaeologists have recently uncovered an unusual tomb belonging to the Złockie culture of the middle Neolithic era in Kleczanów, Poland. The skeleton is that of a partially disabled woman that archaeologists think may have been somone special within the group. ...The skelton did seem to have some unusual characteristics, and an initial examination of the bones revealed that the individual had one leg shorter than the other by at least 5 cm, and so would have had a pronounced limp. There are a number of lesions on the leg bones as well as on the skull – and here the sockets differ slightly in size and shape, and are offset, giving an asymmetrical face. ... Given the disturbed nature of the skeleton and the relative paucity of artefacts, they suspect the tomb has been robbed in antiquity. pasthorizonspr/index.php/archives/01/2014/unusual-zlockie-culture-burial-found-in-poland
