CLUSTERING OF BARROWS ON THE BRONZE AGE AND HALLSTATT CEMETERIES

Petr Kristuf

This poster deals with research of spatial distribution of barrows within the Bronze Age and Hallstatt cemeteries in Bohemia. Some structures in spatial distribution have been observed. We study the role of large barrows (by cubature) within the clusters recorded.
The main question of our study is whether these large barrows present funerary monuments of members of social elite. We are also trying to analyse relations of other barrows to these large ones. Analyses of some cemeteries under study suggest that these large barrows are probably not funerary monuments of the social elite and that the reasons for creation of such monuments are related to different social circumstances.
