Abstract

V originále

This study is focused on secondary mortuary practices of the Corded Ware, Bell Beaker and Proto-Únětice cultures in Moravia, central Europe, during the Late Eneolithic. The main aim is to classify and categorize this phenomenon considering formative archaeological and anthropological processes crucial for further research into burial rites within central European archaeology. On the basis of these categories, and noting the transformations of social significance, symbolic meaning and other social or economic factors in the context of these practices, several models of interpretation are presented and evaluated. This paper emphasizes the use of unbiased terminology when working with grave contexts, and stresses possible burial activities which are often not considered as they have left no material remains.
