Abstract
One important issue in the central European Eneolithic is the Baden culture burial rite, which is documented quite well in the eastern part of its territory, though worse in the western region, including Bohemia. The subject of this article is the presentation of the first satisfactorily documented inhumation graves from the specified area investigated in Holubice in the Prague-západ district. In addition to a thorough evaluation of the find situation and all of the acquired sources, the article also provides a set of radiocarbon dates. The work establishes the detailed chronological position of the graves and the degree of their similarity to the manifestations of burials in other areas of the Baden complex.
