Abstract

Thanks to ongoing excavations, Late Bronze Age cremation burials have been repeatedly discovered in Moravia over the past two decades. The graves share many identical traits and especially a specific treatment of the grave pits, which feature a shape and size typical for inhumation burials. A prime example is a trio of graves excavated in 2011 in the site of Podolí u Brna that demonstrate specific traits of the rite linked to this type of burial. Several parallel examples come from south and central Moravia and especially from the neighbouring parts of Lower Austria, a wider sample that reveals numerous similarities.
