Koszyce [kɔˈʂɨt͡sɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Wojciechowice, within Opatów County, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in south-central Poland. It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Wojciechowice, 11 km (7 mi) east of Opatów, and 67 km (42 mi) east of the regional capital Kielce.[1]
In 1921, 1475 people lived here. In 1929 there was a catholic church and a synagogue. The Union of Jewish Merchants was also there.[2]
A nearby archaeological site revealed in 2011 a mass grave of 15 victims from the late Globular Amphora culture who were murdered in the 29th century BCE.[3] Subsequent analysis revealed that all but one were from the same extended family, and that the bodies had been carefully placed within the grave according to their family relationships.[3][4]
