Summary/Abstract: 68 graves were discovered at the cemetery in Pień near Bydgoszcz. Especially grave no 59, dated for the 2nd half of 16th - 1st half of 17th century is interesting. It contains a man of adultus age and a child of infans I age – probably the father and his child. The burial was si-multaneous or there were two burials within a very short period of time. The child was placed very carefully on the gaskins of the male, in an unusual pose with the arms crossed-out. The text is an attempt of explanation for such conduct, in the context of the present knowledge related to double graves.
