EN The aim of this paper is to evaluate the contents of cremation pit graves, urns and pyre sites from the cemetery of the Przeworsk Culture in Raczkowice from an osteological perspective, which is related to the issue of the small number of burnt skeletal remains. The collection was analysed in terms of weight, state of preservation, anatomical differentiation and frequency of different skeletal parts, addressing the question of whether the skel-etal remains were selected from the cremation pyre and what proportion of them was deposited in the grave. The results obtained for Raczkowice are presented against the background of the Przeworsk Culture’s funerary cus-toms in the declining phases of the Roman Period.
