Abstract

V originále

The middle Bronze Age, in the central European region is generally understood as the time of the Tumulus culture. This period is often presented as the gradual passage between the skeleton and cremation rites. The quantity of graves with the cremation should be growing in time and from the Southeast to the North geographically. The subsequent Urnfield period is presented as an already compact set with cremation burials in urnfields. This paper aims to answer whether we can, in the Moravia region, to describe the growing tendency for cremation rites. The end of the Early Bronze Age (Věteřov group) and the Middle Bronze Age (Tumulus culture) is problematic for the fragmentary level of the dates referring to the character of the burial rites and burials. The classical period of early Bronze Age and the late Bronze Age are characteristic with community cemeteries. The period, which links them, evidence the selective (dates about) burial rite. The dates show us that it is a long-term change and not only the change from skeleton to cremation burial rite is decisive. The whole series of burial traits is changing, including the presence and absence of graves in archaeological context.
