Cemeteries and graves have been the travel goal for centuries. However, the goals differed. In recent years, more and more often cemeteries have been mentioned in the context of cultural tourism. They have become the travel goals of different kinds: cognitive (sightseeing), religious (pilgrimage), ethnical (sentimental), and even leisure. The aim of the article is to draw reader’s attention to the issue of study of cemeteries’ position in cultural tourism and their meaning in tourist space.

The cemetery lies on the edge of historical core of Nitra. There were found 101 graves. Their number is not complete, part of graves was destroyed by ground works and the oldest parts of cemetery were not excavated. The structure of cemetery consists of nine groups of graves localised in three parallel lines. Manifestations of burial customs are homogenous. Only three unusual positions of upper extremities and four graves with manifestation of pre-Christian defensive practices make an exception. Typological analysis of artefacts contributed to chronological specification of burial limited by the beginning of 10th c. and turn of 10th and 11th c. Information about local community was significantly restricted by absent results of professionally evaluated anthropological material. Intensity of burying gradually descended according to demographic analysis. It is possible that the end of cemetery was connected with removal of settlement to other locality. Observation of social stratification of individuals was restricted to seven graves with excessive measurements of grave pits. Deceased with higher rank could have been laid in them. Cemetery was created by members of local Slavic population in the end of Great Moravian period. Their ethnicity was not changed when they started to use limited amount of artefacts of Hungarian origin or later when using material filling of Bijelo Brdo culture. We cannot exclude, despite this fact, that individuals of Hungarian origin could have been exceptionally included in the community. Proofs of acceptation of Christianity are absent in grave material.

Five graves of Corded Ware culture at Pelczyska were discovered during excavations carried out by an expedition from the Institute of Archaeology at the Warsaw University, headed by Marcin Rudnicki. The features have yielded inventory typical of Corded Ware finds from western Malopolska. On the basis of the grave goods, features 21/2004, 32/2002 and 50/2002 should be linked with phase II (or perhaps subphase IIIA) of the mentioned culture, i.e. with the older period of the Krakow-Sandomierz group. Features 50/2004 and 54/2004, containing flowerpot-shaped beakers, seem to be related to the younger horizon of this group. The arrangement of the niche graves suggests that they surrounded a circular mound (which wasn't discovered). Site 6 in Pelczyska proves to be of much interest, due both to its stratigraphic arrangement and its grave inventories.

In the first part of the article author critically evaluated methods used in estimation of functioning time of praehistoric cemeteries. As examples served cemeteries of Tarnobrzeg Group of Lusatian Culture Circle. In the second part of the article the analysis of detailed archaeological and anthropological data according to spatial distribution of graves was shown. In a consequence of this a time of functioning of separate groups of graves on various cemeteries was estimated as well as the time of usage of the whole cemeteries.

A pilot study for a project focused on the mobility of human individuals in a close combination of archaeology, anthropology and isotope geochemistry using strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope analyses. The test assemblage consists of 8 samples of human teeth and 3 samples of animal teeth from 7 inhumation graves with 8 buried human individuals, from the Celtic cemetery in Dubník, Nové Zámky district, dated to the 4th–3rd century BC (LTB1–B2). In the evaluated pilot sample, the values of three individuals – a female and a child from grave 20 and probably a young man from grave 32 – correspond to the local isotope signal of biologically available strontium. These graves do not manifest non-local characteristics in the grave-goods or the burial rite. For other three individuals buried in graves 17, 19 and 29, the measured values are close to the values given for ‘local’ individuals from burial grounds in the Middle Danube Basin. Of the eight individuals evaluated, samples of two – a male buried in grave 18 and a female buried in grave 21 – show a significant deviation from the local isotope signal. The hypothesis of their non-local origin can also be substantiated by the archaeological context – in the first case the re-opening of the grave and the intentional, apparently ritual, destruction of the grave-goods, in the second case the foreign costume of the deceased and a set of pottery vessels of foreign origin.

The issue of early-mediaeval anti-vampiric burials is difficult to interpret and stirs emotions. The first information on such burials appeared in the 1950s. The phenomenon was more closely investigated by Maria Miśkiewiczowa nad Helena Zoll-Adamikowa, who identified the characteristics of anti-vampiric burials, which include: lack of sepulchral accessories, a skull separated from the skeleton (often placed between the legs), placing the body face down or on a side, placing the body with the legs bent up. Many of those features could have been incidental, as was noted by the above-mentioned researchers themselves. Unfortunately, some researchers interpret archaeological sources uncritically, labelling as “anti-vampiric” all the burials differing from the majority in a given burial ground. This leads to false hypotheses, as was the case with the “vampire” from the burial ground in Buczek, in whose chest an aspen peg was allegedly found. When the original research report from 1956 was recovered, it turned out that the skeleton’s chest had actually not survived and the peg had been a charred one. Such misinterpretations are numerous, for example in cases of decapitation or lack of some other body parts it is rarely stated whether the bones bear any traces of cutting or breaking. It is also very important to distinguish post-burial processes, which may result in characteristics taken to be an indication of anti-vampiric rituals (as was the case with the burial in Dziekanowice). It should be also remembered that on the basis of excavations the archaeologist is not able to reconstruct all the past funeral rites.

The article presents results of a rescue excavation of a cemetery situated on the location Doboskút in the village of Mostová (district Galanta) in south-western Slovakia. The rescue excavation was undertaken in 1983 in connection with regulation of the old river bed. The settlement dated to several periods was discovered on the dunes, especially a La Tène settlement and a medieval cemetery. Damaged site enabled only partial survey of the cemetery, totally 24 graves. Only some of them contained except skeletons also objects of the grave inventory, exclusively jewellery. The finds date the site to the tenth century.

Among the 49 graves of the Prague – Střešovice - Triangle burial ground from the 10th c., two graves with spurs were discovered. An addition to the typology of the artefacts, with the involvement of natural science analyses, it is possible to examine not only the typology of artefacts but the position of the buried individuals within the community and the community as a whole within the emerging Přemyslid principality too.

The paper is concerned with a detailed contextual and archaeometrical presentation of a double-edged sword found in the Hungarian Vörs cemetery. The cemetery has been central in Hungarian research due its continuity of burials from the Avar Age throughout to the time of the Early Hungarian Principality in the 9th and 10th c. Excavators of the site usually noted a continuous population associated with the cemetery. The presence of a double-edged sword is intriguing at the site. The paper will provide exact measurements of the weapon, information about its formal features, and the findings of archaeometric analyses. After the examination, the results will be contrasted to comparable examples which suggest that both the burial and the sword date to the 9th c.

The objective of this paper consists of an organic comparison of close relationships mutually linking Canon and Liturgical laws, ecclesiastical funeral rites and popular piety. It serves to remind one of the principles guiding these relationships, and in offering an assessment of their implementation in the Czech Roman Catholic Church under its specific tradition. The author describes in historical sequence the major trends in burying practices inside a church, in the cemetery and in the crematorium under Church and civic regulations. The author has also drawn from particular norms which have been laid down at the Bishops’ conference, the individual Bishop for his diocese or even for a single parish. The practise of a funeral without a ceremony has been analysed with the example of a Roman Catholic parish in Úhonice near Prague in Central Bohemia. Along with the Church cemetery, the Canonical form of a funeral is intended to maintain the “good memory” of the deceased, which bears both a ceremonial as well as soteriological significance in the Catholic commemoration.

The study addresses the issue of artefacts on scabbard sword discovered at the Celtic cemetery in Palárikovo. The fragment scabbard was subjected to X-ray analysis to Welding Research Institute – Industrial Institute of SR. When X-ray analysis, it was discovered the presence of the disc. In an ideal 3d reconstruction scabbard were used knowledge from other LaTène cemeteries and due to the lack of the necessary material is reconstructed form chape rather hypothetical.

(Title in German - 'Ergebnisse der Forschungen auf der grossen Nekropole in Pikule, Gemeinde Janów Lubelski - Beitrag zu den Studien uber die jungere vorromische Eisenzeit in Polen'). The author of the article described results of the archaeological rescue excavations conducted on the crematory cemetery from the younger pre-Roman Iron Age in Pikule, Janów Lubelski commune, Lublin province. It was discovered in 1990 and excavated during two seasons in 1991 and 1992. He informs us also about the history of the amateur discoveries of many pieces of the weapons and the implements (with farming tools as well) vulnerable from the scientific and exhibit reasons. These amateur 'excavations' have been transformed after a time into a mass robbery activity of the militaria-searcher. The main part of this work concerns problems connected with the interpretation of the archaeological structures recognized by the author as remains of the crematory cemetery graves.This theory was partially supported during successive excavation works in 1996-2000. That fully scientific interpretation is calling into question by some archaeologists looking at this space as for the offering place. So the crematory cemetery or the offering place? The answer a question the author is trying in further part of the work. The different problem is to find possible relation between the Pikule archaeological site and the Poienesti-Lukasevka culture cemeteries in the Moldavia, representative of this taxonomic unit.

The analyzed skeletal bones of the Corded Ware Culture were unearthed by Marcin Rudnicki during surveys at the site nr 6 in Pelczyska, between 2002 and 2004. The material was examined in accordance with the applicable anthropological standards and anatomic bone descriptions. The age of the deceased at the moment of death was established upon a complex, multi-feature analysis of changes that occurred in individual morphological features of bones and teeth. After having combined the bones from the studied complexes the remains of eight individuals were given anthropological description. Half of individuals had deceased in their mature age (adultus-maturus), while the children in their early childhood (infans I). As far as the mature individuals are concerned, two sets of the bone remains indicated the presence of men, whereas the remaining two were of typically female character. Due to the not entirely completed development processes, and consequently, morphological ambiguity of the bones, the sex of the infants was not established.

Origin of the Košťany culture partly explained material (research in the years 1965 – 1966) from the cemetery on the position Nižné Kapustníky in Košice. The cemetery is situated in the inundation area river Hornád, south of the heating plant. Overall was uncovered 2400 m2. Graves of the Košťany culture are spread almost in regular rows and the average distance between them is about 150 cm. The graves don´t forming isolated groups by age, gender or social affiliation. In all the tombs were found buried skeletal individuals in a crouched position. The most widely combination in two skeletal graves is mother with a child. Several graves were damaged contemporaries (stealing), younger interventions of the Otomany culture (superposition) and modern sand and gravel mining. Type chronological analysis, horizontal stratigraphy and partly seriation was foundation for internal chronology of the cemetery. There are three developmental stages: initial, transient and classic Košťany culture.

The article presents the results of archaeological research of cemetery from the 11th – 12th century on the south-eastern hillock of the Devín castle. The first research was carried out here by I. L. Červinka (in 1921), and continued by J. Eisner (from 1933 to 1937), and later by V. Plachá and J. Hlavicová (from 1980 to 1987). During the explorations over 600 graves were unearthed, with the prevailing E-W orientation. Above some graves stone grave boards were found. Inventory consisted mainly of jewellery and parts of clothing. Some graves could be dated through the finds of coins (Ladislas I., Koloman, Solomon). Jewellery was dominated by the s-shaped earrings, mostly massive, in some case with longitudinally ribbed loop. Another type consisted of rings – simple rings made of wire, of stick, stripped, as well as earrings with a plate, eye and with dug out decoration in the form of signs. The four graves contained necklaces from corals made of precious stones (fluorite, carnelian), as well as amber and glass corals. The preserved parts of clothing included buckles from a belt of a circular shape. In three graves the iron knives were found. In a grave of the squatted from the beginning of the 13th century there was also a ceramic vessel containing animal bones, and one incomplete vessel also coming from a grave from the second half of the 10th century. Both graves were situated outside cemetery. The stone foundations of a rotund, probably built in the 11th century, were unearthed in the cemetery. The 13th century saw burials already at the Church of St. Cross in a town of Devín, whose oldest core is dated to the mid-13th century.

The article shows systematic and non-systematic nomenclature classification on examples of origin and usage of the name “olive shaped” beads which were in the early medieval age spread across the central Europe. Detailed description of the types of glass beads, which are in the abstract named „olive-shaped smooth“, and “olive shaped lengthwise latticed”. General description of shape, dimensions, glass, glass faults, marks (traces) of technical operations, manufacturing technology and ornaments which were done based on the macroscopic analysis on 227 pieces of olive shaped beads from cemetery in Dolní Věstonice.

The area of the Polish Carpathians has so far produced no sepulchral finds of the Przeworsk culture which could be dated without any doubt to the Roman period. Site 25 in the cemetery at Prusiek, gmina Sanok, is the first discovery of this kind in the area. The four cremation urn graves found there belong to Phase B2/C1 and C1a of the Roman Period. Their inventory shows direct indebtedness to the eastern zone of the Przeworsk culture. In effect, the find in the Prusiek cemetery can be taken as a clear proof of the expansion of the Przeworsk culture bearers in the direction of the Upper Tisa basin.

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.

The paper presents results of the dental state analysis in non-adult and adult individuals from the Early Bronze Age cemetery in Pata (site Diely), southwestern Slovakia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental caries and periapical inflammatory processes and compare it with the populations living in the territory of Slovakia during the Bronze and Early Middle Ages. Non-adults consisted of individuals both with deciduous and mixed dentition. The children with deciduous dentition had all teeth intact. In group of non-adults with mixed dentition, four individuals had deciduous teeth affected by dental caries (F-CE = 12.5 %, I-CE = 5.7 %). In adults, the analysis was carried out in 134 individuals (54 males, 69 females and 11 individuals of undetermined sex). The caries frequency index (F-CE) reached 53.7 %. The caries intensity (I-CE), consisting of the frequency of carious teeth % C = 5.2 %) and ante-mortem tooth loss % E = 8.1 %), reached 13.3 %. Both the F-CE and I-CE have positively growing tendency with increasing age. No significant intersexual differences in the caries frequency and the caries intensity were found. An inflammatory periapical lesion was examined only in adults. In 28 (20.9 %) affected individuals, 62 (3.1 %) alveoli were changed by the inflammation. The abscess/osteomyelitis was the most frequent (61.3 %), followed by periapical granuloma (24.2 %) and radicular cysts (14.5 %). The prevalence of caries among Early Bronze Age population groups from Pata, Rumanová, and Melčice was similar, while in Early Bronze Age Branč and early medieval cemeteries their prevalence was significantly higher. We assume that the observed differences are related to a different lifestyle, especially dietary habits.
