Abstract
The buried remains of two women found in the backyard of a private house in the city of Tver, Russia, have been investigated. Although both deceased have been buried without coffins and under the floor of a wooden building, their skeletal remains do not show any traces of criminal misconduct leading to their death. The results of the examination performed on both skeletons and accompanying archaeological material suggest that both women most probably died of natural causes during the occupation of Tver by German troops from October to December, 1941.
