| Description | The article deals with child graves of the Lusatian culture in Late Bronze Age in the area of today's Slovakia. For the analyse of burial rite, graves from the burial ground in Diviaky nad Nitricou and Krásna Ves were used, which are the only published cemeteries from that area with anthropological analysis. There were graves where just one child was buried as well as graves containing several children or children buried together with adults. The form of graves and the way of storing cremation varies, as well as the number of pottery or bronze artefacts, but without any connection to the age of buried person. |
