This paper focuses on exploration of “hidden” structures at one of the largest cemetery of the Bell Beaker culture – Hoštice I za Hanou in Moravia. This site consists of 157 graves with 143 detected individuals and represents equal ratio for male and female graves. On the basis of published data the database was created, primarily describing aspects of grave goods to detect formal structures using multidimensional statistics (Principal Component Analysis – PCA). Despite their potential they are not usually applied in archaeology, mostly because they require large datasets (i.e. at least around hundred cases). The core of this analysis is based on searching correlations between all the variables (artefact types) at this burial site. Presented (PCA) results involve four factors within the grave goods which are discussed in relation to social organization and symbolic significance of Bell Beaker funerary rites.
