Burials and burial customs themselves are among the best sources of information about the “gender” structure of the surveyed society. The characteristics of “gender” in the Linear Pottery culture (LPC) are generally most often associated with everyday activities, in which both men and women played an irreplaceable role. However, the prevalent opinion in the scientific literature is that women and children had a lower social status than men, due to the smaller amount of grave goods, moreover “gender”-atypical, in case of women and their more frequent burial within settlements. The aim of the paper is to verify this hypothesis and a subsequent attempt to trace the potential “gender” specificity of the female grave inventory on selected sites of LPC using statistical analysis.
