The cremation burial from Pustiměř in Vyškov region was discovered in 2012 with a metal detector and thus, unfortunately, it was partly primarily disturbed. Based on offerings as well as the available anthropological analysis, the grave can be hypothetically identified as female. The burial can be dated – based on grave goods – to stage B2b-transitional stage B2/C1. The numerous grave goods contained artefacts of barbarian provenance as well as fragments of Roman bronze vessels (barrel-shaped bucket, dippers).

A cremation grave of the Roman period was found in a stone quarry at Steborice near Opava before the year 1900. The grave equipment consisted of a wheel-made urn, a two-edged sword, a pair of ornamented spurs with asymmetric arms, a spearhead with octagonal socket, a scissors, a knife, a handle of probably wooden bucket and an iron mount with two rivets (most likely a shield boss fragment). The grave corresponds to above-standard equipped warrior graves of the Przeworsk culture and can be dated to the C1b stage of the Late Roman Age, to the first half of the 3rd century in absolute dating. Regarding its chronology, it is younger than the cremation burial ground at Vavrovice nearby that was used in the very beginning of the Late Bronze Age (B2/C1 and C1a). The both sites with cremation burials are clearly proving the Opava seat region being a part of the Przeworsk culture territory, of which the occurrence of rather numerous graves containing weapons in the period after the Marcomannic Wars and in the first half of the 3rd century is typical.

The issue of the origin of cremation is a very interesting and complex problem. The primary question is, why did people begin burning their dead, but also where and when did the first cremation burials appear? This article discusses the state of research into the causes of the emergence of cremation and shows the finds of the oldest known cremation burials in Europe. The source material presented demonstrates that the oldest, irregular forms of cremation rites occurred as early as in the Mesolithic, both in North-West and Southern Europe. In the Early Neolithic period, we can observe the evolution and stabilisation of the cremation funerary rite, which is visible in biritual cemeteries in the area of West and Central Europe. This situation leads to the conclusion that the tradition of cremation was developing independently in two distinct parts of the continent – in the north-west as well as in the south, and that cremation burials are not merely an exception in the Neolithic funerary rite.
