IRG/WP 18-10930

J Schuster, W Unger, T L Woods

The paper presents the results of anatomical research identifying three wooden fragments from the “Princes Graves” (“Fürstengräber”) in Lübsow, Poland. The research demonstrates that the wooden fragments are typical of wood harvested from European forests. The physicals conclusions are important for the research of Jan Schuster, from the University of Lodz, Institute of Archeology, Poland. Investigation and identification of the contents of the Six Elite Graves (“Elitegräber”) are eminent for an understanding of social mores and customs of the first and second centuries in Europe.
