Summary/Abstract: At the current level of anthropological research on medieval populations of Kosovo and Metochia, the total of five skeleton series is available: Matičane, Djonaj, Rezala, Kuline and, partly, Novo Brdo. The necropolises roughly cover the period between the tenth and sixteenth centuries. Their anthropological contents indicate curvoccipital dolichocranial Slavs, and a planoccipital brachycranial population buried mostly around Orthodox churches.
