- Abstract
Rescue archaeological research was conducted in Vysoké Mýto (Pardubice Region, Czech Republic) in 2016–2017, in connection with the reconstruction of the town square around the Church of St. Lawrence. The area had been used as a churchyard from the time when the town was established until ca the mid-16th century (when the cemetery was transferred outside the town walls). Apart from findings about the manners of burial more or less corresponding to the period customs, the research gave a more precise idea about the size of the churchyard, while an anthropological analysis brought the first information about the high-medieval – early modern age inhabitants of the town buried in the vicinity of the church, including evidence of a highly probable occurrence of syphilis.
