The bones of infants and juveniles found at gallows sites make up a small part of the skeletal finds. Interpreting the finds is very difficult without the support of written sources and it is necessary to look for analogies at other sites. During the research of Moravian gallows, a unique find was found at gallow in Bystřice nad Pernštejnem (Czech Republic), the burial of a child, probably boy, aged 12 to 13 years. The archaeological context and anthropological analysis indicate that he may have come from a poor social environment. Whether the boy was executed or whether it is a suicide burial is a matter of debate. In this paper, we address the context of the discovery, anthropological identification, and possible interpretation of the discovery of the boy’s skeleton in the context of medieval and early modern gallows.
