The eleven graves from Praha‑Ruzyně presented in this paper were excavated 1999 in course of a brief res‑
cue 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
