The paper deals with the study of ceramic inventory in La Tène graves. It brings insight into the function of these grave goods not only through the assessment of the spatial relationship of pottery and human remains but also the combination of individual vessel types. Usage of microtopography method combines the spatial and qualitative attributes of individual vessels. On the example of the cemetery in Malé Kosihy, we present the advantages and pitfalls of this method as well as possible interpretative levels. At the end of the paper, the presented procedure is confronted with other approaches to the interpretation of the function of vessels in the grave inventory.
