Pohrebisko staršej únětickej kultúry z Prahy-Ruzyně. Príspevok k počiatkom doby bronzovej v Čechách

Abstract

The eleven graves from Praha Ruzyně presented in this paper were excavated 1999 in course of a brief rescue excavation. The site history, topography, graves and their offerings, burial rites, as well as preliminary anthropological observations are all being discussed. Typological analysis indicated a date within the earlier, but not the earliest stages of the Únětice culture. This relatively limited assemblage, with only six offering bearing graves, still gave rise to a number of interesting questions. Special attention is given to the question of synchronisation with the Danubian Early Bronze Age and the applicability of Ruckdeschel’s periodization to Central Bohemia.255
