Editing Pyre (section)

=== Poland ===

From analyzing three [[necropolis]]es, in Kokotów, Pawłowice and Korytnica, it seems that [[Poland|Polish]]{{when|date=December 2017}} pyres consisted of primarily Scots pine, birch, and oak trees, as pines, birch, and oak were dense in local woodlands.  All parts of the tree were used including the trunk, branches, twigs, and even pine cones.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Moskal-del Hoyo|first=Magdalena|year=2012|title=The use of wood in funerary pyres: random gathering or special selection of species?
