The anthropological analysis of Great Moravian skeletal assemblage from Josefov with a view on a possible expressions of physiological and physical loads and on a state of health is given. We evaluted the occurence of Harris lines, of cribra orbitalia, of the degeneratively productive changes in the spine and in the major joint and the enthesopathy. The degree of assymetry between sides in pairs of bones and of sexual dimorphism besides the basic metric characteristics were determined also. The study of the state of dental health can bring important information about the state of health of the whole population. At the finish we are putting forward the specification of the paleopathological finds.
