Following the River. First Iron Age Funerary Practices in Eastern and Southern Serbia
Following the River. First Iron Age Funerary Practices in Eastern and Southern Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Among the very few Iron Age sites in Eastern and Southern Serbia, there are three partially excavated necropolises whose research results indicate regularities in burial practice. According to Central European chronology, these necropolises are dated to the Ha B3–Ha C period. The burial inventory in these necropolises is typical for the Early Iron Age in this territory and indicates that the local communities were integrated into supra-regional networks of interactions. The present study, with emphasis on the grave position and orientation, is aimed at a better comprehension of the spatial organisation of the necropolises and the importance of rivers in this part of Europe.
