Abstract

Ritual skeletal burials, sometimes covered and lined with stones, appear only occasionally in the territory of the Knovíz culture. In exceptional cases their connection with contemporary cemeteries, with cremation burials, cannot be excluded. It was only dering the excavation of the cemetery at Brdo near Manětín that the existence of biritual cemeteries in Bohemia was reliably proved. This casts a new light on the problem of ritual inhumations of the Knovíz culture.
