The Copper Age burial ground of Rákoscsaba, Major-hegy north, Budapest, District XVII (preliminary report)

Summary/Abstract: Early Copper Age burials in the territory of Budapest had primarily been known from the contemporary settlements or were discovered as lone graves. The burial ground investigated at Rákoscsaba, Major-hegy north, in Budapest, District XVII., consisting of several inhumations is still unique in this regard. The discovered graves formed two separate groups; this spatial distinction was also reflected by the treatment of the deceased and the variety of grave goods present at the site. The distinction between burials could be explained either by the location and the role the site played in the network of interactions, or by social, economic factors, but it may also be considered as expressions of local identities.
