Chronologia: koniec XV – połowa XVIII w.

Pierwotnie szczątki szkieletów dwóch osobników datowano na podstawie kryteriów archeologicznych na połowę IX i początek X w. (por. Szmyt i Pawlak 2009). Jednak datowanie radiowęglowe C14 wykazało, że materiał pochodzi z różnych okresów, tj. z późnego średniowiecza i wczesnej nowożytności.

Chronologia C14 pierwszego osobnika (samica): 265 ± 30 lat p.n.e., Poz-128596;
prawdopodobieństwo 68,20%: 1528 r. (20,6%) 1552 r.; 1633 r. (43,0%) 1663 r.; 1787 r. (4,7%) 1793 r.; prawdopodobieństwo 95,40%: 1513AD (36,4%) 1592AD; 1619 r. (49,6%) 1670 r.; 1779 r. (9,5%) 1799 r.;

Chronologia C14 drugiego osobnika (samiec): 68,20% prawdopodobieństwa: 350 ± 30 BP, Poz-140730; 1479 r. (30,2%) 1523 r., 1573 r. (38,0%) 1629 r.;
Prawdopodobieństwo 95,40%: 1461 r. (39,7%) 1530 r., 1539 r. (55,7%) 1636 r. n.e.
