The Moravian region occupies a central position in the Northern part of the East Hallstatt culture. There are two regional groups – the Horákov and Platěnice groups. Both of them provide numerical information for the study of chronology. Priority are chosen burial sites with suitable dates, which can be classified into the individual stages, phases and sub-phases of Reinecke’s or horizons of Parzinger’s periodisation. Within the Platěnice group these are namely the burial grounds in Moravičany, Dílečky, and Seloutky, Na Šťastných. Within the Horákov group we deal with the necropolises in Modřice, Rybníky and Sádky, and Vojkovice, Vojkovické nivy. The central burial ground including cave sanctuary Habrůvka, Býčí skála (not place of sacrifice), is related to both regions. The wagon graves are of strategic importance for the interregional chronology. While the Horákov group offers five of them, the first one in the Platěnice group has been identified at the burial site of Seloutky, Na Šťastných, which is quite newly introduced among the older sites. The fact that the wagon was recognized in a grave with cremation burial is of key importance. Habrůvka, Býčí skála, then offers six unique wagons. Moravia plays an important role for comparison of chronology with neighbouring Bohemia, Slovakia, Austria and Poland. Graves with wagons allow correlations across distant regions up to Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg or Eastern France.
