Abstracts

The article deals with the sedimentary rock of sandstone and sand in archaeological context, in the Urnfield period’s burial rite in particular. Sandstones and sand make a considerable part of the geological composition of the Cerová vrchovina hills in the south of central Slovakia. The topic is elaborated based on the published results of the archaeological excavation at the site from the Middle/Late Bronze Age in the village of Radzovce, Lučenec dist. The main emphasis is put on the sandstones and sand discovered at the large cremation burial ground at the site of Monosa, which documents their specific role in the burial rite of the Piliny and Kyjatice cultures. This information is extended by contemporary settlement material from the site of Somvölgy which confirms the polyfunctional use of sedimentary rocks, sand and Tertiary relics or the artefacts made of them at the site. Possible purpose and importance of selected finds from Radzovce, such as the storage pit filled with siliceous sand, is discussed.
