| Description | The period of middle Bronze Age, generally understood as the time of the Tumulus culture, is often presented as the gradual passage between the skeleton and cremation rites. The quantity of graves with the cremation should be growing in time and from the Southeast to the North geographically. The subsequent Urnfield period is presented as an already compact set with cremation burials in urns. This paper aims to answer whether we can, in the Moravia region, to describe the tendencies for burial rites. The classical period of Early Bronze Age and the Late Bronze Age are characteristic with community cemeteries. The period, which links them, evidence the selective (dates about) burial rite. It is nevertheless possible to distinguish about 80 dated graves with burial rites information’s. The dates show us that it is a long-term change and not only the change from skeleton to cremation burial rites is decisive. The whole series of burial traits is changing, including the presence and absence of graves in archaeological context. Some of this traits could be identified as the connectivity under the Middle and Late Bronze Age burial rites. |
