Laténský hrob 67/2005 v Mlčechvostech, okr. Mělník – s pohřbem amazonky z oblasti Lotrinska ve středních Čechách?
La Tène Period Grave 67/2005 from Mlčechvosty (Distr. of Mělník) – With one Armed Amazon from Lorraine Region in Central Bohemia?

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the so far unique examples of graves in which weapons are combined with a typically female artefact category – a neck ring. This happens in the case of the warrior grave No. 18/2001 from the La Tène period cemetery in the southern part of the village of Mlčechvosty (Distr. Mělník, Central Bohemia) and the rich burial of an older woman No. 67/2005 from another cemetery in the northern part of the same village area. The latter grave contains a well preserved sword in functional position, together with a neck ring originating in the area of Lorraine, France. The character of burial practices in the regions of their hypothetical origin is further discussed, with regard to the possible explanation of the graves under study as burials of exogenous individuals. For the reasons of certainly future discussion is the paper published also in French.
