The method of description of the behaviour of variables reflecting these dissimilarities is suggested. The step-wise discriminant analysis is used to solve the problem of rare occurrence of some variables and the problem of different size of burial-grounds. Results are applied to the group of old Slavonic burial-grounds from Czechoslovakia, namely from Mikulčice, Rajhrad, Josefov, Velké Bílovice, Lahovice and Ducové. ER -
