Summary/Abstract: In this contribution the author presents several discarded human bones found in various Neolithic contexts from the Vinca settlement at Şoimuş-La Avicola (Ferma 2), Hunedoara County, Romania. Some of them show signs of interpersonal violence, which makes the interpretation more difficult when compared with the usual funerary contexts of the Southeast European Neolithic. On the other hand, this type of finds are not uncommon in the Neolithic Europe of the second half of the 6th and the first half of the 5th millennia BC.
