The eighth volume of "Studien zum Burgwall von Mikulčice", as its subtitle – "Anthropological and epidemiological characterization of Great-Moravian population in connection with the social and economic structure" – suggests, is dedicated to the biological properties of the Great Moravian population in relation to the social structure of this society. Great Moravia represents the first state formation of the Slavs, whose centre in the 9th century AD occupied the region of Moravia (part of the Czech Republic), west Slovakia and nord part of Lower Austria.
