The monumental archaeological site in Brodek u Prostějova with an extensive woodhenge- like installation and four cenotaph deposits is unique in continental Europe. Bell Beaker artefacts were ceremonially deposited, and a large assemblage of vessels was found. A multi-analytical and micro-destructive protocol with the aim of determining raw material sources, production process and provenance of the pottery and its white inlay of decorations was used. ED-XRF chemical composition analysis of ceramic paste was performed on a whole assemblage of 50 vessels and fabric groups were defined by analysis of 17 selected samples. Both chemical composition and petrofabrics were evaluated by a classification tree, which was used to a provenience prediction of the whole assemblage. The model suggests the combined presence of local/regional pottery making traditions as well as presence of outliers originating from Morava river catchment. Incrustations preserved in the engraved ornaments of 19 vessels were examined by µFTIR, µXRD and SEM-EDS. Three main groups of materials were identified: calcium carbonate, hydroxyapatite and bright clays and some mixtures of these (e. i. calcite-clay and calcite- hydroxyapatite). The four cenotaph deposits show a kind of variability in the petrofabric groups and the typological pattern of incrustations. We conclude that the cenotaph practices were done as multiple events. The monumental site Brodek u Prostějova had a significant role in the region and on the cenotaph practices, sacrificial or related events were participating in more Bell Beaker communities at the same time.
