Abstract
The paper presents the results of studies of Trzciniec
Cultural Circle (TCC) societies ‘settlement burials’
from the 2nd millennium BC in East-Central Europe.
The custom of burying the deceased inside settlements,
mainly in pits, was particularly prevalent in the
south-western part of the TCC range. In settlements,
the deceased included men, women and children, who
were buried in single and collective graves. Both cremations
and inhumations were used, skeletons were
both articulated and disarticulated, and partial burials
were also recorded. The deceased in only some of the
graves recovered in settlements were furnished with
grave goods. Bayesian modelling of AMS radiocarbon
dates for individuals in collective burials suggest that
some were used for extended periods of time, as were
mass graves contemporaneous cemeteries. It appears as
though both forms of mortuary practice – burying the
deceased in conventional cemeteries and in settlement
pits – reflect the cultural code of TCC communities.
